Postural load and back pain of workers in the manufacturing of prefabricated concrete elements / Alex Burdorf, Guido Govaert and Leo Elders
Sumario: In a population of male workers in a concrete manufacturing plant (n=114), the occurrence of back pain was studied in relation to a control group of maintenance engineers (n=52). Postural load of workers in both plants were measured using the Ovako Working posture Analysis System. The results of this study also suggest that exposure to whole-body vibration, due to operating vibrotables, is a second risk factor for back pain
