DATE:

February 2011 - December 2011

CHIEF INVESTIGATOR: Dr Jodi Oakman

This project is reviewing the most common cause of workers' compensation claims in Australia - work related musculoskeletal disorders. 

The project will investigate the hazards and riskes identified by workers in health care settings and will identify which particular risk management programs would be effective.

The project is supported by an ISCRR Development Grant. ISCRR will work with the La Trobe University Centre for Ergonomics and Human Factors to deliver this project.
