Possibilities and constraints of application of the WERA method for risk assessment associated with VDT work
Апстракт
The WERA is a relatively new method,
which has been used for assessment of risk factors,
associated with work-related musculoskeletal
disorders. The method was tested previously at the
plasterer workplace by the authors of this method.
Since there are no published data about the
application of the WERA method on tasks where is
dominant the static work, the authors of this paper
consider that is of importance to examine the
sensitivity of this method in occupations where is
prevalent the static working activity, such as it is in
the case of VDT work. VDT work is one of the
activities that is performed in sitting position, which
does not require special tools, and for which is
characteristic certain static stress of large musculo -
skeletal regions. Possibilities and constraints of the
WERA method are examined in this preliminary
study, which was performed on a relatively small
group of VDT users.
