The document describes the posture at the VDU, the characteristics of the workstation, the arrangement of the components of the VDUl and provides some tips about the furniture and safety measures. 

This websection helps employers in assessing the risks of using video display terminals (VDU´s). It contains sections dedicated to the safe use of the VDU´s, laws and regulations, associations between VDU´s and health and types of     VDU´s workstations.

This short document summarizes the preventive measures or, if necessary, the redesign activities involving pushing and pulling operations.

This short document summarizes the preventive measures or, if necessary, the redesign activities involving repeated movements of the upper limbs in non-ergonomic conditions.

This short document provides information about how to implement the HAL / ACGIH TLV methodology to assess and quantify the risk related to biomechanical overload of upper limbs and the level of effort for a typical posture while performing short cycle tasks. 

This document presents the semi-quantitative risk assessment of biomechanical overload in activities involving repeated movements of the upper limbs using the Strain index method.

This document provides content and methods of filling out a short procedure for the identification and quantification of the risk of biomechanical overload of the upper limbs using the OCRA checklist / methodology. 

This short document provides information about how to assess and quantify the risk related to complex lifting activities taking into account various movements, geometries and frequencies.

This short document provides information about how to the assess the risks related to repetitive manual handling activities. 

Farming involves a lot of repetitive work. Manual handling and lifting in particular can cause strain and awkward positions. Outdoor work and specificities of terrain make the design of agricultural machinery challenging. This discussion paper looks at the use of mechanisation to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, especially upper limb disorders, in the agricultural sector.
