New legislation against back pain: are you prepared?

Since May 25, new legislation has been in place to protect workers from musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Belgium is the first European country to address these health issues with specific legislation. Do your employees often suffer from lower back pain after a long day at work? Do you notice they are easily distracted? Then it's time for a change!

New legislation: be prepared!

On May 15, 2024, the legislature published the RD amending in Book VIII of the codex on well-being at work. The new RD mainly targets musculoskeletal disease (MSA) prevention at work. The new legislation went into effect on May 25, 2024.

This legislation requires companies to take action to preventively address musculoskeletal disorders at work and generally encourage employers to increase their commitment to ergonomics at work. As of now, inspections can begin and there are penalties for non-compliance. Fortunately, Drisag has you covered.
