| Abstract |
Manual load handling, working in prolonged and/or awkward postures and repetitive movements are common risk factors in companies in the Navarre region of Spain. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are therefore a priority occupational health concern. This article presents the main findings of a survey on working conditions and MSDs in the Spanish region of Navarra, together with the key elements of the plan for the prevention of MSDs in the region. |
