Ergonomic approach to risk control L'approccio Ergonomico nel Controllo del Rischio

The aim of the paper is to emphasise the role and the importance of the ergonomic approach to improve reduction and management of the risk related to repetitive strain injuries. The authors tried to select and to put in evidence the risk factors related to the investigated problem, proposing a critical analysis of them, and to detect some guide lines to design or correct workplaces and tasks. These guidelines are based on ergonomic principles and they aim at reducing the risk related to repetitive strain injuries. The proposed interventions are grouped by a risk-factor criterion.
