Description

With this tool, an assesment of the risks of aunal handling in different sectors can be made. Work-related muscle and skeletal disorders, including injuries from manual handling, are one of the most common health problems among European workers. Prevention of such injuries and ailments has high priority at most European labour inspectorates.

 

Tungt arbeid er én eller flere arbeidsoperasjoner som enkeltvis eller samlet kan overbelaste muskel- og skjelettsystemet hos arbeidstakeren. Flere arbeidsoperasjoner som hver for seg ikke betraktes som tunge, kan til sammen og over tid gi for høy totalbelastning.
