Causative factors in the development of WRMSDs
Examining the Labour Force Survey in greater detail (latest analysis a three-year average over the period 2009/10- 2011/12) illustrates that:
Manual handling, lifting and carrying and keyboard work were some of the prime causative factors in the development of work-related
musculoskeletal disorders particularly the development of back pain.
Additionally repetitive movement such as keyboard work or being in awkward of tiring positions were other highlighted factors in WRMSD development. Additionally work may exacerbate a musculoskeletal disorder which was originally caused in non-occupational settings such as physical sport and home and social life.
