Título: The Scientific basis for making guidelines and standars to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders / Eira R.A. Viikari-JunturaAutor: Viikari-Juntura, Eira R.A.
Notas: Conference presented at the 13th International Ergonomics Association Triennial Congress, IEA'97. This was held in Tampere, Finland, June 29-July 4, 1997. The Congress was hosted by the Nordic Ergonomics Society and the Finnish Ergonomics SocietyTo determine the role of experimental studies in regulation, it should be know to what extent fatigue and other short-term responsed are precursors of disorders. Regulation should be directed especially towards factors that are likely to be causative for musculoskeletal disorders. Examples of such factors are sudden overload in manual handling activities, heavy physical work involving manual handling tasks, and vibration from tools. Guidelines that are acceptable and feasible can and should be developed. The effects of such guidelines on the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders should be investigatedRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London [etc.]. - Vol. 40, nº 10, October 1997 ; p. 1097-1117Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Carga de materiales Manipulación Vibraciones Lesiones musculares Columna vertebral Prevención de accidentes Reglamentación Unión Europea Estados Unidos Conferencias Otros autores: International Ergonomics Association Triennial Congress (13th: 1997: Tampere, Finland)
