Which type of injuries is the NEP specifically targeting for reduction?

The National Enforcement Program (NEP) specifically targets musculoskeletal injuries for reduction due to the high prevalence and significant impact these types of injuries have on workers and the workplace environment. Musculoskeletal injuries often stem from repetitive motions, awkward postures, or lifting heavy objects, making them a common concern across various industries. By focusing on reducing these injuries, the NEP aims to improve occupational safety and health standards, ultimately leading to better worker well-being and productivity. This initiative highlights the importance of ergonomic practices and the need for preventive measures to mitigate the risks associated with musculoskeletal disorders, which can lead to long-term pain, disability, and decreased quality of life for affected individuals.
