7. Conduct a discomfort survey. We have a downloadable survey that includes a diagram of the
human body, so that people feeling discomfort can indicate where. They can also rate pain
on a 1-10 scale.
8. Encourage open communication so workers feel comfortable reporting any discomfort or
hazard, just making sure that they're reporting that to their supervisor, manager, etc. to get
the ball rolling.
9. Promote wellness. Offer stress-related webinars or workshops. Encourage employees to use
all their vacation time.
10. Train JHSC members or health and safety representatives on MSDs and ergonomics, to help
inform their inspections. Educate all employees on MSD prevention so they know what to
look for and when to report a hazard or injury. Include prevention tips on health and safety
boards on internal websites to keep workers aware.
