Help prevent musculoskeletal injuries: Our step-by-step toolkit
As a small business owner, dealing with disability claims or an injured employee can be a challenge. Our free and easy-to-use toolkit helps you build your own custom strategy to prevent musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries. These include injuries affecting muscles, tendons, nerves, and spinal discs causing back pain and other symptoms.
MSK injuries are a leading cause of disability claims
Musculoskeletal (MSK) issues account for 20% of all disability claims, and 40% of those are related to back and neck pain.1
Sun Life’s toolkit helps you build a custom strategy that helps:
- increase productivity,
- lower absence rates and
- ensure a safe and sustainable return to work for those with an injury.
We’ve partnered with OHS Canada to deliver a webinar on musculoskeletal best practices in the workplace. Please note, the OHS webinar is available in English only. Tune in to learn more about how to build a preventative disability strategy.
