Work-associated back problems: collaborative solutions.
Work-associated back problems are a major health issue for which the traditional approaches of manual skills training and worker selection have demonstrated little effect. The common alternative, direct ergonomics intervention, risks work group resentment and non-compliance problems. This paper describes a new ergonomics training approach which changes the role and content of training to facilitate staff and management collaboration.
