Course Overview

Safety performance on musculoskeletal disorder prevention degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. The cost of an incident involving this aspect of occupational health and safety lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this strand of occupational health and safety in their own setting. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for musculoskeletal disorder prevention. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the occupational health and safety capability and revise it on evidence. The programme converts this strand of occupational health and safety from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting musculoskeletal disorder prevention and under-invest in testing it. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the occupational health and safety capability improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this aspect of occupational health and safety ready to put in front of a decision maker.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

04

Communicate the purpose of musculoskeletal disorder prevention to those who have to comply with it.

05

Handle the trade-offs in musculoskeletal disorder prevention between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.

06

Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on musculoskeletal disorder prevention for senior management.

07

Build the safety case or justification supporting musculoskeletal disorder prevention.

04

Musculoskeletal disorder prevention: emergency response and rescue

2 sessions · 8 points

  • Apply management of change to any modification affecting musculoskeletal disorder prevention.
  • Confirm that controls on musculoskeletal disorder prevention sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
  • Check that lessons from musculoskeletal disorder prevention reached other sites doing similar work.

Session 2Testing musculoskeletal disorder prevention before relying on it

  • Rank the weaknesses in musculoskeletal disorder prevention by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Check the procedure for musculoskeletal disorder prevention against how the work is actually done.
  • Record who is authorised to work on musculoskeletal disorder prevention and when authorisation expires.
