1. Identify MSD hazards
2. Spot MSD signs and symptoms
3. Address early signs and symptoms of MSDs
4. Control hazards with appropriate solutions
5. Communicate hazards and solutions
6. Coach workers to use good practices
7. Ensure appropriate PPE is available
8. Take every precaution reasonable
9. Work with an ergonomist
Note: Supervisors should also participate in the training that the employees in their departments attend.
