What does MSD program support look like?
Step 1: Off-site Audit
The first step in the process is to gain a thorough understanding of the organization's current MSD prevention program. A comprehensive audit typically includes a review of current and historical MSD statistics and injury trends, JHSC meeting reports, and current training or MSD awareness and prevention initiatives. It can also include a review of the physical demands descriptions (PDD) for jobs of concern if available.*
Step 2: On-site Audit
An on-site audit assists us in gaining an understanding of the workplace environment, the physical demands of the jobs performed and the equipment and tools currently in place.
Step 3: Gap Analysis & Report
A detailed gap analysis is conducted and a report is prepared. Where gaps exist, recommendations for improvement are presented and prioritized. The report gives the organization a step-by-step plan to develop and sustain an in-house MSD prevention program.
