Video Summary
The video featured John Doney, VP of Workplace Strategy at the National Safety Council (NSC), who introduced the NSC and outlined the agenda for the presentation. The presentation focused on the topic of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and their prevention in the workplace. The presenters, Sidney Mosser and Ram Gopalakrishnan, discussed the findings of a systematic literature review on interventions to prevent work-related MSDs.<br /><br />The presenters highlighted some key findings from the review, including the effectiveness of combined interventions that address multiple risk factors, the potential benefits of physical activity programs in reducing MSD pain and symptoms, and the positive impact of certain equipment and devices, such as exoskeletons, on reducing MSD symptoms. They also emphasized the importance of considering non-physical interventions, such as organizational change management and cognitive processes, for preventing MSDs.<br /><br />The presenters acknowledged the limitations of the review, such as the need for larger sample sizes and diverse study participants, and the lack of studies on emerging technologies and non-physical interventions. They also provided practical implications for employers, such as piloting interventions, considering a multifactorial approach, and focusing on employer-driven physical activity programs.<br /><br />The video concluded with information on the NSC's future initiatives, including a DE&I paper and workbook, ongoing research on MSDs and non-physical factors, and grant programs. The presenters invited viewers to access resources and reach out to the NSC for further information.<br /><br />No specific credits were mentioned for the video content. The video was produced by the National Safety Council.
