Tuki- ja liikuntaelinsairauksia koskevat käytännön työkalut ja ohjeet
Jotta tuki- ja liikuntaelinsairauksien riskien arviointi ja hallinta työpaikoilla olisi vaivatonta, helppokäyttöinen tietokantamme tarjoaa monenlaisia EU:ssa ja kansallisella tasolla kehitettyjä käytännön työvälineitä ja ohjeita.
Aineistot käsittävät tapaustutkimuksia ja visuaalista materiaalia, ja ne kattavat laajasti useita sektoreita, vaaran tyyppejä ja ennalta ehkäiseviä toimenpiteitä. Osa aineistosta on tarkoitettu erityisesti tietyille toimijoille, kuten työnantajille, työntekijöille tai johtajille, ja osa on tarkoitettu tuki- ja liikuntaelinsairauksien hallintaan tietyissä työntekijäryhmissä. Aineistoja voidaan suodattaa kaikkien näiden tai monien muiden erilaisten kategorioiden mukaan, joten hakemansa löytäminen on todella helppoa.
