Posture control and the risk of industrial accident : a stabilographic investigation in a naval shipyard / A.W. Moll Van Charante, C.J. Snijders and P.G.H. Mulder

Sumario: In a previous case-control study on the effect of impaired perceptual acuity on the risk of industrial injuries at a naval shipyard, three factors which might influence the perception and processing of sensory impressions - alcohol consumption, hearing loss exceeding 20 decibels and exposure to noise exceeding 82 dB - were found to contribute to the risk of injury. According to recent reports, these factors can all lead to impaired posture control. Because in general about 40% of all accidents are associated with falling, tripping, slipping and the like, a supplementary study has been carried out to unravel possible confounding effects of exposure control on these three risk factors
