Work-related musculoskeletal disorders with reference to the revised occupational diseases list.
Due to the different compensation schemes, compensated musculoskeletal disorders vary widely between countries. In Italy, following the Constitutional Court Decision no.179/1988, these disorders were treated as "non-listed" diseases and workers must prove their occupational origin by submitting a compensation claim for musculoskeletal disorders to INAIL. The Italian Workers Compensation Agency (INAIL) supplied guidelines for the management of these claims. Recently, a new occupational diseases list has been submitted to the Labour Ministry for approval. This list includes musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb, back and knee.
