An update on musculoskeletal health risk management

A wide range of hazardous manual tasks occur in many New Zealand workplaces, contributing to high injury rates across many industry sectors. WorkSafe’s HFE team has been building resources to support businesses to better manage hazardous manual task risks. Join us for this webinar to stay abreast of new guidance, and to learn about the suite of risk assessment tools being modified for New Zealand application.
