title: [Ergonomic assessment of main activities in grana padano cheese production].
abstract: Aim of this work is to describe results obtained by risk assessment of biomechanical overload for workers involved in grana padano cheese production: from breeding to obtain milk to the finished product in dairy. To analyze operation tasks authors used video recordings, interviewed operators and visited workplaces in order to proceed with evaluation instruments, using internationally recognized technical standards ISO 11228, such as OCRA, NIOSH and Snook and Ciriello's studies. The results show significant risk of biomechanical overload for spine and upper limbs both in breeding and in dairy.
