Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries affecting muscles, tendons, and nerves due to repetitive tasks and poor ergonomics at work. Common MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, back and neck pain, and epicondylitis. Preventative measures like ergonomic workstation design, employee training, and regular breaks can reduce the risk of MSDs, while prompt medical treatment and ergonomic adjustments are crucial if symptoms occur. Legal obligations often require employers to provide safe workplaces and support workers with MSD-related compensation.
