The Institute for Work & Health is conducting an online survey about strategies for MSI prevention programs and practices in the workplace as part of their research study, Musculoskeletal injury (MSI) prevention: a practical implementation guide for Newfoundland and Labrador.

Funded by WorkplaceNL, this study is aimed at developing a free, easy-to-use resource to help workplaces in Newfoundland and Labrador prevent MSIs and resulting disabilities.

The survey takes about  10-15 minutes  to complete. At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you wish to participate in a voluntary follow-up interview. Additionally, you will find a link at the end of the survey to MSI/support resources that may be of benefit to you.
