 HSE's annual musculoskeletal disorders 'risk-reduction through design' award needs your nominations! The award highlights the important contribution that design changes can make to reduce risks of musculoskeletal disorders. Building on the success of last year's award, we want businesses to nominate design changes that have made a real impact. We are looking for approaches that have worked from across all sectors, anywhere in the United Kingdom. There are no restrictions on the size of business that can enter; both large and small employers are encouraged – small scale/low cost solutions are just as welcome as large scale/high cost designs. The emphasis is on design solutions that have or can reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders for workers, but we are also interested in novel, innovative or niche solutions that tackle difficult-to-solve problems. Involving the workforce in developing the solution is essential and cross-sector application, that might inspire others to think more actively about design-based solutions, will also be part of the judging criteria. Entries should be submitted on no more than two sides of A4 paper. Full application details are available on our website. Please include: - the problem, the design solution and its potential for MSD risk reduction
- how your workforce was involved in developing the solution and their feedback on the changes
- a description of the musculoskeletal and any wider benefits
- your contact details
Please submit your nominations to msdpp@hse.gov.uk by 31 January 2021. |
