Euro week aims to lighten the load
The European Week for Safety and Health at Work (European Week) starts on Monday 22 October, with the theme of 'Lighten the Load'.
This year's campaign is concentrating on how musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), such as back pain, neck, spinal, arm and leg pain can be avoided at work.
MSD is the most common form of ill-health disorder at work, affecting more than a million people in the UK. The HSE is organising training sessions for businesses involved in manual handling and related risks.
European Week runs until 26 October.
