title: [Assessment of the risk of occupational biomechanical overload: comparison of methods currently used].
abstract: Some of the most common methods for the evaluation of the ergonomic risk of Work-Related Musculo Skeletal Disorders were applied to different workplaces. The results show that an evaluation of the single components of the synthetic risk-indices given by the methods is needed to evidence the specific critical aspects.
