MS HR1

Urges Mississippi businesses and industries to implement ergonomic practices and programs to prevent and relieve musculoskeletal disorders among workers

Acknowledges that substantial numbers of Mississippi workers suffer serious musculoskeletal disorders each year, resulting in lost work days, permanent disability, and job loss

Recognizes the state's investment in training and retaining a competitive workforce and frames worker injuries as undermining that investment

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to all businesses in the state with 50 or more employees and to the Capitol Press Corps

Non-binding resolution that encourages rather than mandates workplace ergonomic health and safety programs
