5 misconceptions about MSDs<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

“MSDs are just a matter of doing the right thing… And it’s normal: the working population is aging! This inevitably leads to an increase in musculoskeletal disorders. There’s no point in launching prevention campaigns: they’d be too costly for the company and would harm workers’ productivity. Simply reduce their movements, and that’s it! “<\/span><\/p>\n

… Is it true?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

We hear (all too) regularly statements of this kind: unfortunate assumptions which unfortunately harm the health of operators and, ultimately, the company itself. So, to put an end to preconceived ideas, we bring you the right answers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Popular belief #1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

“MSDs are only a question of the right gesture”.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

While professional gesture is recognized as the key to preventing musculoskeletal disorders, this does not mean that there is such a thing as THE right gesture or THE right posture.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, each operator creates his or her own operating modes by making his or her work his or her own. The gestures and postures he adopts are the result of a compromise between the demands of the job and the time available to perform it. And, unfortunately, the compromise will always be posture.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, it’s easy for an operator to tell himself that he’s not going to use this or that object or method, because – according to his perception – he’d be wasting time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

MSDs are therefore not just a question of good gestures, because operators are aware that their gestures can damage their health.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, the risk of MSD must not be reduced to a purely biomechanical notion. Other factors are also involved:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
