Work related musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic stressors in the South African workforce / G.H. Schierhout, J.E. Meyers, R.S. Bridger

Sumario: The main objective of this study was to investigate exposure-study relations between adverse musculoskeletal outcomes and ergonomic exposure variables. This study indicates good predictive ability to reduce ergonomic stress with the exposure model, simple surveillance methods, and educational programmes in the workplace. Further study on sampling strategies and refinement of dimensions of ergonomic stressors are needed
