Abstract

In addition to offering different practical advice, this document proposes solution scenarios that are easy to implement for better prevention of handling-related accidents and the associated back pain. It responds to a real need, because in the retail sales sector, particularly warehouse superstores, back pain represents between 40 and 50% of the accidents compensated by the CSST, while this proportion is less than 28% in all of the sectors.
