Standards for the Prevention of Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders in Sonography

SUMMARY

The Industry Standards for the Prevention of Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSDs) in Sonography is the work product of a 2016 Consensus Conference on Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders involving 26 sonography‐related professional organizations, accreditation bodies, and manufacturers. The organizations listed below, working collaboratively, and representing the sonographic professional community, updated the 2003 standards for use by clinical, academic, and manufacturing related sonographic industries. The objective of this project was to produce a detailed resource that, when implemented, may assist in the reduction of WRMSDs among users of sonographic equipment.
