“…Several studies reported on more than one outcome. The reproducibility of the diagnosis was demonstrated for 4 of the studies (18,35,37,38) and suggested in 2 others (39,63). Blinded assessment of outcome was explicitly declared in 5 studies (18,35,37,43,61), but may have occurred in several others by virtue of design or previously described methodology (19,38,58,65).…”

“…In 14 of the 21 reports, the analysis was principally carried out through a comparison of job titles, but, in 11 studies, physical exposures were objectively characterized to a varying extent (18,37,(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(61)(62)(63)(64). Several studies offered exposure-response information by quantified level of exposure (18,37,61,62) or time worked in the job (35,38,41), but in others only crude and sometimes composite exposure variables were used.…”

“…Age-adjusted odds ratios for "neck disorder" (tension neck syndrome with a few cases of cervicalgia) were also higher among the medium to high categories of muscle loading (OR 1.9 and 1.5) and wrist movement (OR 5. 4 In a study by Hinnen et al (63), cashiers using laser scanners were compared with other conventional cashiers. The sampling procedures were not fully described.…”

“…Da mesma forma, se conhece por estudos realizados que uma sobrecarga de horas trabalhadas, ultrapassando as 8 horas recomendadas geralmente, leva a diminuição das reações e, consequentemente, a queda na produtividade, assim como danos pessoais, principalmente quando o trabalho é intenso (BLISS, J.; DUNN, M., 2000;GRANDJEAN, 1998;HARBER, P. et al, 1992;HINNEN, U. et al, 1992).…”

The work conditions in which supermarket checkout operators perform activities have been a recent concern to specialists. This research was carried out in eight supermarkets of two cities in KEY WORDSCheckout, risks, ergonomics. RESUMOAs condições de trabalho nas quais os operadores de checkout de supermercados realizam suas atividades têm sido uma preocupação dos especialistas nos últimos tempos. Essa pesquisa foi realizada em oito supermercados de duas cidades do Brasil com o objetivo de conhecer as condições em que os operadores realizam suas atividades, detectando os fatores de risco para propor medidas que eliminem ou minimizem o aparecimento de efeitos adversos nos trabalhadores. Foi aplicado um questionário e o método RULA a uma amostra de 80 trabalhadores. O estudo mostrou que o mobiliário não está adaptado às características antropométricas da população, a maioria das posturas analisadas é inadequada, não existem revezamento nem pausas que poderiam ajudar a minimizar a situação, existência de sobrecarga, mental e física, entre outras. Conclui-se que a atividade pode representar riscos à saúde dos operadores de caixa de supermercados. PALAVRAS-CHAVECheckout, riscos, ergonomia.

Effect of job rotation on need for recovery, musculoskeletal complaints, and sick leave due to musculoskeletal complaints: A prospective study among refuse collectors

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Job rotation might be an effective preventive measure to reduce the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints, although its effect has not been yet established. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of job rotation in refuse collecting on need for recovery, prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints, and sick leave due to musculoskeletal complaints. Methods A 1-year prospective study among refuse collectors was performed, using standardized questionnaires. Job rotation was performed between collecting two-wheeled containers and driving a refuse truck. The experimental groups of rotating refuse collectors at t 0 and t 1 (group R-R) and non-rotating refuse collectors at t 0 and rotating refuse collectors at t 1 (group NR-R) were compared with a reference group of non-rotating refuse collectors at t 0 and t 1 (group NR-NR). Results The adjusted need for recovery of group R-R was marginally significantly lower than need for recovery of the reference group. Groups R-R and NR-R had a more than two times higher risk for complaints of the low back than the reference group. No other significant results were found. Conclusions Job rotation seemed to coincide with a reduced need for recovery and was associated with an increased risk of low back complaints. No effects were found on sick leave due to musculoskeletal complaints. The results might be influenced by the healthy worker selection effect in the reference group and its inverse in the rotating groups. Am. J.
