A major concern within health occupations are Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD's), especially those related to the trunk and back from lifting and moving patients. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that in 2002 nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants had the highest number MSD's resulting in day(s) away from work (US Department of Labor, 2004). Activities in health occupations revolve around the patients, and very often require the movement of those patients. These types of tasks occur in nearly every realm of the health industry from EMS to nurses and even firefighters. Back at Work, Inc. will assist those in the health industry by preparing their bodies for the difficult task of helping others.
