The Use of turnover rate as a passive surveillance indicator for potential low back disorders / Steven A. Lavender and William S. Marras
Sumario: Passive surveillance techniques which rely only on injury reporting to locate ergonomic problems within a facility may not be sensitive enough to identify all jobs that place a worker at risk of low back disorder. The current study examines whether turnover rate data provide useful input to a passive surveillance approach. Two data sets were evaluated with the model to determine whether jobs with turnover resemble those with a high historical risk of the low back cumulative trauma disorders
