Worldwide, one in three women and one in five men aged 50 years and over will suffer an osteoporotic fracture.

Fractures caused by osteoporosis can be life-threatening and a major cause of pain and long-term disability.

Conversation starter scenarios are a resource to facilitate group discussions in the workplace or during vocational training. These conversation starters include scenarios that have been designed for use with workers who are involved in tasks that have the potential to cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), and their managers and supervisors, and scenarios that have been designed to support the need for prompt and effective communication between a worker and their manager about a musculoskeletal health problem. These scenarios can be used as a starting point to initiate a discussion, with suggested topics and introductory questions. They can be used in a discussion-style workshop or as an opener to a training session.
