Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and ergonomic injuries account for approximately a third of workplace injuries, and cost businesses billions of dollars each year according to OSHA. MCAA’s Musculoskeletal Disorders & Ergonomic Safety Resources provide information to help MCAA members reduce risk and ensure worker safety, including several videos developed in collaboration with CNA and an ergonomics webinar developed in partnership with The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR), Washington University in St. Louis, and Best Built Plans. These are just a few of MCAA’s educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership.
