Why is it important?
The study examines musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and psychosocial risk factors specifically among occupational health and safety technicians (OHSTs). This group plays a crucial role in workplace safety but has not been extensively studied in this context. The study develops a model that predicts the probability of MSDs based on factors such as gender, training in emerging risks, perceived health, and exposure to psychosocial risk. This can be valuable for preventive strategies. The study provides valuable insights that can inform strategies to improve the occupational health and safety of OHSTs and potentially other professional groups facing similar challenges.
