| dc.description.abstract | Firefighters encounter dangerous conditions in their work environment that place them at risk of severe injury. Musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) are one of the primary injuries sustained by firefighters, which may be due to the firefighters’ lack of knowledge and poor attitudes toward MSIs. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine firefighters’ knowledge of and attitudes toward work-related MSIs in the City of Cape Town Fire and Rescue Service. | |
