Health Surveillance looks at the monitoring of a persons’ health, in various areas. Musculoskeletal disorders can develop from many scenarios and tend to develop over time.
Many workers, from a wide range of industries and sectors, have experienced a bad back, stiff shoulders, or achy knees. The Musculoskeletal assessments look at how the working environment can expose workers to preventable musculoskeletal issues and problems.
