ErgoPlus is excited to announce that we have joined the MSD Pledge, a national initiative from the National Safety Council co-sponsored by Amazon.
The MSD Pledge
The MSD Pledge is part of a global movement of employers across industries to transform workplace safety and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, the most common workplace injury. This initiative comes out of the MSD Solutions Lab, an NSC program created to engage key stakeholders. MSD Pledge participants commit to taking action in four key areas:
1. Reduce risks
We will analyze the causes of MSD injuries across our operations and invest in solutions and practices that reduce risk to our workers.
2. Innovate and collaborate
We will leverage best practices and share our learnings and countermeasures to expand on innovations to improve our own safety practices and reduce MSD risks.
3. Build an organizational culture that values safety
We will promote and ensure a workplace where safety excellence and transparency and accurate reporting are equally valued. Everyone, at every level of our organization, is accountable for the safety and health of our workforce.
4. Commit to a significant reduction of MSD injuries
We believe that through risk analysis, improved training, and investment we can create safer outcomes for millions of workers worldwide. We pledge to reduce MSD risk and subsequent injuries by 25% by 2025.
We’re in
We are proud to join the MSD Pledge and commit to taking action to prevent musculoskeletal injuries alongside over 100 other leading organizations across the country.

We believe our products and services are the best value in ergonomics and injury prevention and we’re excited to push the industry forward by developing new technology and service offerings as part of this initiative.
