Combating the rise of musculoskeletal injuries in hospitality

Within the hospitality industry workers may be involved in a wide range of physically repetitive and/or demanding work activities as food preparation, bed making, carrying trays, cleaning, prolonged standing or walking and stacking shelves. Statistics show there are a high number of injuries in this industry, particularly injuries that are characterized as body stressing. Body stressing contributes to 36% of the total number of Workers Compensation Injuries across Australia, and is largely preventable. With over a third of claims in the Accommodation, Cafe’s and Restaurants industry requiring more than one week off work, it is important we are looking at ways of making our staff safer at work and ensure that our business are able to continue running efficiently and effectively. This video is a recording of a webinar delivered as part of National Safe Work Month 2021 and will provide a number of injury prevention and early intervention strategies for both large and small employers throughout the hospitality industry.
