UK Repetitive Movements & Musculoskeletal Disorders Awareness Training Warehouse

This 12-slide awareness training presentation covers the risks of MSDs in warehouse environments, where repetitive scanning, picking, packing and lifting over long shifts are responsible for nearly a third of all working days lost in the UK.

Topics covered:

• What musculoskeletal disorders are and how warehouse tasks cause them

• Legal requirements — Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 & Management Regulations 1999

• High-risk tasks: repetitive picking, packing, replenishment, VNA operation and conveyor work

• Risk factors: repetition, force, awkward posture, duration and lack of recovery time

• Engineering and organisational controls — job rotation, ergonomic aids, pace management

• Early reporting and the importance of not working through pain
