Campaign materials
There is a new Better Backs stakeholder pack: we have revised the 2006 pack to include material on Upper Limb Disorders (ULDs) and Display Screen Equipment (DSE). We have made the pack more flexible and versatile, and to extend its coverage to a wider range of MSDs than before. The pack is aimed mainly at employers, managers and safety representatives and it contains information they can use to advise and support workers. The pack is also a valuable resource when holding events.
The new Better Backs packs contain eight resource Information Sheets and a CD. The resource sheets contain a range on information on MSDs and ULDs; some are relevant to everyone in the workplace, others are aimed specifically at employers, supervisors and managers. You can download individual Information Sheets from What’s in the pack?
The CD includes all the campaign pack materials as well as a range of supporting PowerPoint presentations with speaker’s notes and video clips for use at events. You can also use the CD to download HSE free guidance leaflets providing advice to employees on MSDs. There are also links to other websites and priced publications.
Find out how to order hard copies of the pack by visiting the Order your Campaign pack page. You should allow 10 working days for delivery.
We can provide a limited number of display stands (subject to availability), that would need to be collected and returned from your nearest HSE office at your own expense. For more information please contact: betterbacks@hse.gsi.gov.uk
The rock band themed posters featured in the 2006 campaign can be downloaded from the Better Backs advertising campaign page
