Protocol to check the risks linked to cold exposure in meat-cutters and pickers in cold rooms.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

The paper particularly examines the risks due to low temperature, for two kinds of workers: meat cutters (0 to 8 °C) and pickers (till -30 °C). These low-temperature risks, added to some other factors (awkward position, high repetitiveness, mental strain) are linked to the development of osteo articular and neurovascular diseases of the upper limbs.
