Abstract The objective of this study was to develop quantitative estimates of the number of workers affected by strenuous work, by means of surveys including in particular the SUMER 2002/2003 survey. This report proposes various estimates of the number of workers exposed to strenuous work according to their levels of exposure. Two main criteria were used: duration of exposure over a period of one week and cumulative strenuousness. Contents of the report: the issue of strenuous work; data used; methodology; presentation of the main results and comments; list of detailed tables (44 detailed tables concerning various types of exposure).
