Abstract

As part of its workplace intervention projects, the IRSST, in collaboration with sectoral associations, has produced various guides to help companies prevent or correct situations which may place workers at risk of developing cumulative trauma disorders (CTD). However, several workplaces have expressed the need for a general prevention tool that emphasizes practical and inexpensive solutions. Several tools of this type already exist, including "Ergonomic Checkpoints", a brochure produced by the International Labour Office (ILO). This project will produce a French version of this document, adapted to the needs of Quebec workplaces, and will make it available to all Quebec companies (including small and medium-sized ones), joint sectoral associations, and other associations which may find it a useful addition to their array of training tools.
