Neck/shoulder and low-back disorders in the forestry industry: relationship to work tasks and perceived psychosocial job stress

Article Abstract:

The prevalence of neck/shoulder and low-back disorders among forestry employees was analyzed, as well as their relationship to work tasks and perceived psychosocial job stress. The prevalence of the disorders was higher among machine operators and manual workers than among the managers. An increasing level of psychological demands combined with a decreasing level of intellectual discretion was linked with an increased prevalence of the disorders. These results suggested that musculoskeletal disorders were associated with both physical and psychosocial work factors.
