Jobs with high cognitive demand and/or psychological stress have also been linked to increased incidents of musculoskeletal disorders.

Musculoskeletal disorders often result from common physical and psychosocial demands in the workplace.

Ontario workplace health and safety associations are hosting learning sessions, webinars and training events on ergonomic workplaces in October and November.

Ontario will be participating in Global Ergonomics Month in October to help prevent workplace hazards that could lead to musculoskeletal disorders.
