Manual lifting : a guide to the study of simple and complex lifting tasks / Daniela Colombini [and others]
"Preface One of our vocations as "old, hardened researchers" has always been to seek solutions for the prevention of occupational risk of biomechanical overload and to teach self-management of the problems at the source Prevention should be done directly by those designing workplaces...
