The paper illustrates some methods and tools supporting work-related risk assessment with reference to ergonomics and biomechanics, in particular. These aspects will also be described through the analysis of two case studies in order to highlight the main characteristics and problems found during the application phase. Furthermore, using modelling and simulation software, the utility and reliability of such tools in support of the work-related risk assessment will also be evaluated.

Abstract

The paper illustrates some methods and tools supporting work-related risk assessment with reference to ergonomics and biomechanics, in particular. These aspects will also be described through the analysis of two case studies in order to highlight the main characteristics and problems found during the application phase. Furthermore, using modelling and simulation software, the utility and reliability of such tools in support of the work-related risk assessment will also be evaluated.
