Protecting Your Musculoskeletal System
Master Electricians Australia has partnered with Workcover Queensland to develop and create a series or health videos that are tailored towards electricians regarding health and safety tips to protect and strengthen their musculoskeletal systems.
Due to the nature of your work, electricians frequently encounter musculoskeletal strain, which may later lead to chronic issues, if not managed correctly. These injuries may not only affect your day-to-day wellbeing but may also shorten career longevity, affect productivity and increase overall medical costs.
