Teaching tools for upper limb MSD prevention in the automobile services sector

Abstract

A previous exploratory study produced a portrait of various tasks performed in garages, in order to broaden the knowledge base on the activity and tools of mechanics, painters and body repairers in this sector.

The research team will create different teaching tools for the purpose of improving the prevention of upper limb musculoskeletal disorders in the automobile services sector. These documents are aimed at workers in the automobile industry, preventionists, and instructors and students in the professional education environment.
