THINK PREVENTION
Why Prevention?
Good for your business. Great for your people.
Prevention is good for your business.
THINK PREVENTION
• MSDs = 28.8% of non-fatal lost-time injuries.• MSDs = Average MSD costs ~ $15,000 • MSDs = $50 billion in Worker’s Comp costs (2011)
Prevention is good for your business.

What are MSDs?
(and what causes them?)
THINK PREVENTION
Musculoskeletal Disorders or “Movement System Disorders” are injuries and disorders that affect the human body’s movement or musculoskeletal system.
(i.e. muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, discs, blood vessels, etc.).

• Muscle / Tendon Strain• Tendonitis• Ligament Sprain• Tension Neck Syndrome• Thoracic Outlet Compression• Rotator Cuff Tendonitis• Epicondylitis• Radial Tunnel Syndrome• Digital Neuritis• Trigger Finger / Thumb• DeQuervains Syndrome• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome• Mechanical Back Syndrome• Degenerative Disc Disease• Rupture / Herniated Disc
