Manual materials handling tasks are a major cause of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in industrial workplaces. In response to this issue, the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) is conducting a year-long, workplace compliance initiative on material handling in industrial workplaces. 

A webinar, jointly provided by MLITSD and Workplace Safety & Prevention Services (WSPS), includes more information about the initiative.
