Musculoskeletal injury

Some of the tasks you will perform at work — such as lifting, reaching, and repeating the same movements — can strain your body. These tasks can result in injury to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, and joints of the neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, legs, and back. These injuries are called musculoskeletal injuries (MSI), or repetitive strain injuries (RSI), and typically result from overexertion or repetitive motion.
