This video contains a summary review of the research-based knowledge of what physical variation is, what types of measures one can think of in working life to increase (or change) the content of variation in a job, and what evidence exists for different types of action Indeed, increased variation (e.g. breaks, job rotation, alternative tasks) can actually have a positive effect in occupations that are otherwise characterized by insufficient variation. The report also rings in the need for further knowledge in the field.

 

This brochure is about repetitive work: work where similar movements are repeated over and over. This can have negative health effects and should therefore be avoided. Here you will find advice on measures to reduce the risks.
