Criteria for the health surveillance of workers exposed to repetitive movements

Article Abstract:

A health surveillance programme for work-related musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limbs must take into account the fact that symptoms reported by workers are very significant, as they usually appear early and could offer valuable diagnostic guidance. Specific health surveillance should take a two-level approach, the first addressing all exposed workers and the second involving only workers identified as positive at anamnestic investigation. Workers affected by disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and severe current mesenchymopathies must be removed from tasks involving repetitive or strenuous movements of the upper limbs.

Examining the relationship between job design and worker strain over time in a sample of office workers

Article Abstract:

A survey of office workers conducted over three years found that the relationship between certain aspects of the job and the amount of stress experienced by workers changes too often to be definitively identified, though some relationship between job design and stress can be shown to exist. Work load and pressure were cited as causes of stress the first year, while the same people cited supervisor social support, task clarity and job future ambiguity as stress-related concerns during the second year.

Job design and job stress in office workers

Article Abstract:

A model was developed in which job control was discovered not to be an important factor contributing to job-related stress. Other stress-causing inputs such as job content and career advancement do not affect stress in the same measure. Results gleaned from responses to a questionnaire, from a study sample of 170 government workers showed that career and future concern caused more anxieties and stress than job control.
