université Savoie Mont Blanc is organizing a prevention day on Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) on Thursday, October 20, 2022 from 9am to 5:30pm on the Annecy campus (in the morning on the Polytech premises and in the afternoon on the IUT premises).
This event, part of the university's prevention program, is open to all staff at Annecy. The aim of the day is to provide information on what an MSD is, why office set-up can encourage the onset of MSDs, and what techniques can reduce the effects of MSDs.
The prevention department and the occupational medicine department will be on hand to help staff :
- identify the MSD risks associated with their installation at the workstation and help them find solutions to eliminate or reduce them;
- provide information on how the university can ergonomically adapt its workstations.
