A fim de facilitar aos locais de trabalho a avaliação e a gestão dos riscos de lesões musculosqueléticas (LME), a nossa base de dados de fácil utilização inclui uma panóplia de ferramentas práticas e de materiais de orientação desenvolvidos a nível nacional e da UE.
Os recursos incluem estudos de casos e materiais visuais, abrangendo uma vasta gama de setores, tipos de perigo e medidas de prevenção.

Os recursos podem ser filtrados por uma destas categorias ou por várias outras, pelo que não poderia ser mais fácil encontrar exatamente o que procura.
