<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Nurses, together with other groups in the caring professions, show a high incidence of musculoskeletal injuries as a consequence of the handling of equipment and patients. Ergonomics is the recognize discipline in relation to assessing whether the work, equipment, or environment match the capacities of the people concerned. An assessment procedure is presented, together with proposals for its use, which can form the basis for the ergonomic assessment of workplaces in health care, and give guidance for their improvement</abstract>
