| Abstract |
Workstation rotation has a positive impact on psychosocial factors, but is often ineffective in relation to musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) prevention, notably on account of the intensity of the biomechanical demands. The design of a workstation rotation system intended to prevent MSDs must take into account the characteristics of the population concerned, its work experience and biomechanical demands. A logic diagram is proposed which can assist in designing an improved workstation rotation system. It is based on four complementary dimensions: ergonomic study of the context; integration of scientific knowledge; mastery of the implementation of the rotation system; evaluation and follow-up of the results. |
