Praktické nástroje a usmernenia k poškodeniam podporno-pohybovej sústavy
Naša ľahko použiteľná databáza zahŕňa rôzne praktické nástroje a usmerňujúce materiály, ktoré boli vyvinuté na vnútroštátnej úrovni i na úrovni EÚ s cieľom uľahčiť pracoviskám hodnotenie poškodení podporno-pohybovej sústavy a riadenie súvisiacich rizík.
Zdroje, ako sú prípadové štúdie či vizuálne materiály, pokrývajú široké spektrum odvetví, druhov nebezpečenstiev a preventívnych opatrení. Niektoré sa osobitne zameriavajú na určité subjekty, napr. zamestnávateľov, zamestnancov a manažérov, a iné na riadenie poškodení podporno-pohybovej sústavy v prípade konkrétnych skupín zamestnancov. Zdroje možno filtrovať podľa týchto kategórií alebo kombinácií iných kategórií, takže ľahšie nájdete presne to, čo hľadáte.
