Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common work-related problem in Europe - 25% of the EU-27 workers report suffering from backache and 23% complain about muscular pains. First, there are preventive steps that have to be taken. But for workers who already have MSDs, the challenge is to maintain their employability, keep them working and, if necessary, reintegrate them into the workplace. The aim of this report is to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions at the workplace and to provide practical examples with respect to successful prevention of MSDs. It focuses mainly on the developments that have taken place since the previous European MSDs Campaign in 2000.

Book excerpt: The European workforce is increasingly diverse. Several elements are at the heart of this diversity, including the growing presence of migrant, refugee and second-generation migrant workers, a higher presence of women in the labour market, a greater participation and visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) workers and an increase in disabled and older workers. This growing workforce diversity is attracting the attention of both employers and legislators across Europe and beyond, who are increasingly shaping company policies and legislation to recognise such diversity as an asset, and to protect workers from discrimination and unfair and unequal treatment. A number of employers seem increasingly convinced that diversity in their workforce can be an asset, rather than an issue, and that diversity management policies can attract the most talented individuals and can lead to improved decision-making, attract customers orientation and employee satisfaction, conferring also some level of competitive advantage on the company (McKinsey, 2015). In addition, European and national legislators are developing legislation to effectively enforce equality, equal opportunities and anti-discrimination practices in different domains (i.e. access to the labour market and health services, equal treatment with regard to employment and working conditions or equal protection against occupational health and safety risks). The International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1958 approved the Convention on Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) (Convention No 111), intended to remove 'any distinction, exclusion or preference made on the basis of race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin, which has the effect of nullifying or impairing equality of opportunity or treatment in employment or occupation'. At EU level, several pieces of legislation have been introduced in this domain and transposed into national legislation, including Directive 2000/78/EC (the Employment Equality Directive), Directive 2006/54/EC and Council Directive 89/391/EEC on the safety and health of workers at work, which stresses that 'particularly sensitive risk groups must be protected against the dangers which specifically affect them'. In addition, the EU Occupational Safety and Health Strategic Framework 2014-2020 emphasises the important role that OSH policy can play in combating discrimination and promoting equal opportunities in EU policies. Nevertheless, the existing evidence suggests that the specific groups of workers mentioned above still find it more difficult than other workers to access employment. If employed, they are more likely to be in jobs with poor working conditions and less rigorous poorer occupational safety and health (OSH) standards and they are more likely to experience exclusion and discrimination, resulting in increased psychological and physical health risks, including musculoskeletal health risks. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought these issues to the fore. There have been several serious outbreaks among migrants workers in Europe, exacerbated by inadequate and unhygienic living and working conditions, with clear health consequences. For these reasons, the European Union Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) commissioned a study to investigate the extent to which workforce diversity is associated with poor working conditions and higher exposure to OSH risks, with a specific focus on musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) refer to a wide range of inflammatory and degenerative conditions that occur in the workplace or are caused by work activities. WRMSDs affect the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, peripheral nerves, and supporting blood vessels. These conditions can cause pain and functional impairment and they often result in direct economic costs to both the workplace and the worker. Injuries sustained at work can negatively affect a person's physical and mental health as well as a company's bottom line. This book describes the human musculoskeletal system, including such topics as anthropometry and posture, as it relates to accidents and injuries in the workplace. Chapters discuss such subjects as job standards; risk assessment; direct and indirect costs of WRMSDs; epidemiology, etiology, and pathology of WRMSDs; engineering and administrative controls; risk factor identification; injury management; and education and training. It presents a holistic approach to identifying, intervening, and preventing WRMSDs.

This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you call them work-related upper limb disorders (WRULDs), cumulative trauma disorders (CTDS), or occupational overuse syndromes (OOSs), these conditions are a cause of pain, disability and suffering to workers worldwide. These designations often imply that their causes are related to work, but the supporting evidence can be unclear. Transparency is important, especially when it is necessary to form a connection with work factors to obtain treatment or compensation. This book addresses the dilemma. Written by a professional ergonomist with almost 40 years of experience in workplace ergonomics, this book combines a critical summary and assessment of the epidemiological literature with an exploration of the scientific and medical evidence for possible causal mechanisms to develop well-informed conclusions on causation of a number of common musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb and intervertebral disc injury. Although much of the book focuses on physical factors, the role of psychosocial factors is increasingly being recognized and an additional chapter reviews a number of the current theories relating to this important issue. Features Focuses on a clear and authoritative account of the evidence for the role of work in the causation of commonly occurring ULDs and disc injury Provides an up-to-date compilation of the scientific evidence, devoid of views based on assumptions or prejudice Presents a clear explanation of the most likely causal mechanisms for common ULDs and disc injuries Includes a summary of theories concerning the role played by psychosocial factors Outlines the statistical evidence in a clear and understandable manner Bridges the gap between the evidence-base in the scientific and medical research literature and the practitioner
