Ergonomic risk assessment of sea fisherman part III: Manual handling and static posture
According to ILO, WHO and EU data, the fishing sector is among the most dangerous working sectors. Common standardized protocols for biomechanical risk assessment can hardly be used due to peculiar characteristics of high seas fisheries (exposure to extreme temperatures, boat instability, floor slipperiness). Few studies, carried out in laboratory simulations, have already highlighted the high biomechanical load risk to which workers are exposed.
