Goal Type	Goal Number	Sector Program Goal Text
Strategic	09PPWRTSG1	Reduce chronic musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in wholesale and retail trade (WRT) workers.
Activity/Output	10PPWRTAOG1.2.2	Develop and evaluate economic models to accurately assess costs of work related MSDs and potential savings related to reducing incidence and severity of work related MSDs.
Activity/Output	10PPWRTAOG1.2.4	Conduct studies to assess the effectiveness of workplace interventions that are designed to reduce the physical stresses and risk of MSD injuries from manual materials handling.
Activity/Output	10PPWRTAOG1.3.5	Develop tools, surveys, or methods to assess the effectiveness of the MSD outreach campaigns to determine what makes an effective communication campaign
Strategic	09PPWRTSG2	Reduce acute traumatic injuries in wholesale and retail trade workers by minimizing hazards that cause falls, slips and trips as well as acute injuries from contact with hard objects.
Activity/Output	10PPWRTAOG2.2.4	Develop and apply economic models to accurately assess the costs of fall and contact-related injuries and fatalities and the potential savings by reducing the incidence and severity of fall and contact-related injuries and fatalities.
