[Musculo-skeletal disorders and diseases in the complex metal-mechanical industry].
Among work-related diseases, musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremities have obtained increasing attention in last decades. In this paper we present and discuss the results of a work place ergonomic survey in a complex manufactory industry (Indesit S.p.A.), considering upper limbs disorders for biomechanical work-load risk. Ergonomic analysis has been performed using OCRA check-list, ORAGE method and Strain Index (S.I.). Results highlight the effectiveness use of the three arranged methods to assess risk situations and improve work places ergonomics conditions.
