OHCOW - Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers
Although we generally do not recognize it, Manual Material Handling takes place in many aspects of our daily lives: carrying tools or supplies at work, or laundry and groceries at home; getting chores done, or even when having fun in sports or recreation. All these physical tasks place unique demands upon our bodies. In this podcast we discuss common ergonomic risk factors related to moving things around, and provide several simple prevention strategies to help minimize injury at home and at work. Listen, learn and move safely!
