We work in an amazing industry powered by people - and it is essential that we protect the power that drives us.
The HSE recently reported that Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) account for 52% of self-reported ill-health conditions in Construction (Construction statistics in Great Britain, 2024), making this the most prominent health issue in the sector.
As such, the Health in Construction Leadership Group (HCLG) have collated a number of resources to help construction managers raise awareness and encourage best practice – with the objective of reducing work-induced Musculoskeletal Disorders.
The MSD Resource Hub includes:
· MSD Prevention Learning Module
· HSE Guidance on Upper Limb Disorders
· Guidance on Warming Up Before Work
· Bone Joint & Muscle Care
· Manual Handling Toolbox Talks
· MSD's Toolbox Talks
· How to Set a Minimum Standard on Site
· Distribution of Materials Guide
The HCLG have also launched a brand-new campaign video to run alongside the resource hub. The video shows examples of how new technology can (and should) be used to ease physical load.
