Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Ergonomic Injury Data
The U. S.
Department of Labor defines a work-related musculoskeletal disorder (MSD)
as an injury or disorder of the muscles, nerves, tendons, joints,
cartilage, and spinal discs. MSDs do not include disorders caused by
slips, trips, falls, motor vehicle accidents, or similar accidents. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes detailed characteristics for MSD
cases that resulted in at least one lost day from work. |
