Negative workplace psychosocial factors - for example, low job control, unclear expectations or lacking co-worker/supervisor support -can result in negative mental health outcomes and increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
A poster by the Centre of Research Expertise for the Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders (CRE-MSD) lays out the interconnectedness between workplace psychosocial factors, MSD risks and stress exposure symptoms. It also offers ideas for how to integrate prevention efforts to benefit both physical and mental health in the workplace. See and download the poster
