Creating and Fostering Inclusive Work Environments to Prevent MSDs Among Older Workers

Dr Behdin Nowrouzi-Kia

This presentation will explore the definition of older workers, typically those aged 50 and above, and the unique challenges they face. It will identify the risks and hazards related to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Finally, it will propose solutions and strategies to prevent and mitigate against MSD. By addressing these objectives, we aim to create a safer and more supportive work environment for older workers.
