Abstract

Police work, due to its unpredictability exposes law enforcement officers to
what could be perceived as a higher risk when compared to other workers.
• Law enforcement personnel are required to perform tasks carrying loads which can range from 5-25kg.
• They can be required to perform arduous tasks in situations that are
unpredictable and can be life threatening in some circumstances.
• Therefore they may be at a higher risk of musculoskeletal injury when
compared to many other occupations.
