BETTER SCHOOLS
BY PROMOTING MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTH
This seminar - jointly organised by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) and the European Network Education and Training in Occupational Safety and Health (ENETOSH) - is intended to make you aware of the importance of promoting good musculoskeletal health in children and young people by preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) at school (age). Our message is that MSDs are preventable in the first place - the key is to start early to build up a belief in a healthy lifestyle in childhood. On this basis, future workers will be able to support the creation and maintenance of healthy workplaces. Numerous adaptations can be made to workplaces to prevent MSDs, but the most effective way is to start early and promote a more physically active lifestyle in childhood. The seminar is designed to give you new ideas and motivate you to become active in the EU-OSHA campaign "Lighten the Load" 2020-2022.
