Objective Aims of project: To reduce the risks of biomechanical stress during maintenance work in the steel industry and to draw up a code of good practice for training personnel in the ergonomic design of equipment and working methods. Methods: Description of workplaces; report on musculo-skeletal problems found, industrial accidents resulting in biomechanical injury, musculo-skeletal complaints reported by workers; research into and evaluation of phases in the work where there was a high risk of biomechanical damage, and research into the technical reasons for the stresses observed; recommendations for each potentially hazardous activity. Aims of the research: The work of tundish liners, METACON millwrights and other millwrights on three continuous casting lines.
