CSAM ON TOUR

CSAM On Tour delivers expert safety training directly to your jobsite, focusing on best practices for preventing some of Manitoba’s most common severe injuries. Our advisors conduct hands-on demonstrations covering safe lifting, fall arrest, eye protection, hand safety, and head protection. These demos also serve as toolbox talks, providing practical solutions to help reduce the risk of workplace injuries.

MSI ASSESSMENTS

Musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) account for almost a quarter of all workplace injury claims in Manitoba’s construction sector. MSIs are sprain and strain injuries of the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, or spinal discs.

MSIs can be caused by forceful exertions (such as heavy lifting), awkward sustained postures, and repetitive motions. While all three of these things may be required for tasks in construction work, there are often better ways to conduct work.

Workplace Safety and Health Regulation Part 8 requires employers to inform their workers of the possibility or known risk of an MSI occurring. Employers must also develop safe work procedures to reduce the risk of an MSI — and CSAM advisors can help.

CSAM uses new technology to get a digital scope of the work being performed and identify the MSI risks for those tasks. A report will be developed outlining the critical, medium, and low risk factors of that task with how the body is positioned. Your company can review this report, and together we can develop a strategy to complete the high-risk tasks in a safer way.

Following this assessment report, your CSAM advisor can also host a toolbox talk specific to your MSI assessment to recommend and demonstrate adaptations to reduce the risk of injury specific to the tasks on your jobsite.
