Alliance Élaborés a une activité traditionnellement manuelle. Depuis plus de dix ans, ce spécialiste des produits élaborés surgelés installé à Foucarmont, en Seine-Maritime, fait de la lutte contre les troubles musculosquelettiques (TMS) l’une de ses priorités. Dans l’atelier des tomates farcies, quelques cas de tendinites étaient survenus chez des opératrices affectées à la coupe des tomates : le travail au froid accentue les risques de troubles musculosquelettiques (TMS).
