Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders are common among waste workers but preventative effort is lagging behind. This exploratory study assessed trunk posture during waste sorting tasks via statistical and experimental means. Posture exposure exceeded levels previously shown and related to elevated risk of Low Back Disorders (LBD). Results show predisposition of waste workers to LBDs.
