LL-LACTOGAL - Descriptive Analysis - Presentation of First Results

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders are a major cause of sickness and absenteeism. However the relationship between musculoskeletal disease and work is not always clear. This paper aims to present some preliminary results, on a descriptive analysis of the methodology developed and applied in the project LL-LACTOGAL. It is expected to give a contribution to the clarification of this relationship. The project is in development in a specific production sector of a food industry unit. The approach spans seven different methods. A description of the overall sample and some preliminary results are presented. The preliminary results give an overall picture of musculoskeletal disease signals in the plant.
