Outcome of the Compensation Process Initiated by an Occupational and Environmental Diseases Center
CONCLUSION: This study shows the benefit of a consultation by occupational disease consultants. However, difficulties still need to be solved in these procedures. Thus, the systematic follow-up of patients shows its advantages. The provision of support to carry out the process seems necessary.PMID:38411975 | PMC:PMC10915680 | DOI:10.23749/mdl.v115i1.15517 (Source: Medicina del Lavoro)

The Role of Physical Exercise in the Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Manual Workers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Med Lav. 2024 Feb 22;115(1):e2024008. doi: 10.23749/mdl.v115i1.15404.ABSTRACTWork-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are the most common occupational health problem in the European Union. Physical exercise interventions have been investigated in the prevention of WMSDs in many sectors. Therefore, our aim was to assess the effect of physical exercise in manual workers for the primary and secondary prevention of WMSDs. We conducted a systematic search of the literature and papers were included if: the participants were adult employees exclusively engaged in manual labor tasks; non-acute physical exercise intervention;...

Assessing Workplace Violence: Methodological Considerations
Med Lav. 2024 Feb 22;115(1):e2024003. doi: 10.23749/mdl.v115i1.15186.ABSTRACTThe risk of violence is present in all workplaces. It must be accurately assessed to establish prevention and protection measures tailored to the features of each situation. The risk management process requires compliance in a sequential order: 1) risk identification, 2) quantitative risk assessment, and 3) impact assessment. Gathering workers' experiences using lists, focus groups, or participatory ergonomics groups is necessary to identify the phenomenon. For risk assessment, spontaneous reporting of events is often insufficient. It may be compl...
