Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Posture control and the risk of industrial accident : a stabilographic investigation in a naval shipyard

Notas: 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 factorsRegistros relacionados: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 5, June 1991 ; p. 505-515Materia / lugar / evento: Seguridad e higiene en el trabajo Accidentes de trabajo Riesgo laboral Ruido Nivel de ruido Alcoholemia Astilleros Otros autores: Snijders, C.J.
