Since June 2006, the DPI (Discomfort, Pain, and Injury) programme has been ACC’s approach to addressing musculoskeletal issues in the workplace. It provides tools, information, and training for those responsible for workplace health and safety, and also for professionals who work in health, injury prevention, and injury management.
This course builds understanding of the causes and symptoms of DPI, describes methods to prevent development, and how to manage the risks to staff experiencing symptoms.
This course is usually offered as a 1-day course, combined with Preventing Back Injuries and is ideal for all employees, supervisors, and managers who are involved in repetitive, forceful work or sustained postures where there is a risk of DPI.
