Does occupational health surveillance lead to risk reduction for workers exposed to hand-intensive work

---

ABSTRACT
This mixed method study aimed to describe what risk-reducing actions were proposed by ergonomists after the
execution of a guided process for occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to hand-intensive work in
ten companies. Another aim was to describe the exposed workers’ proposals for risk-reducing actions, including
their perceptions of potential changes in the self-assessed exposure levels and work-related pain. Several actions,
targeting organizational, technical, and/or individual measures were proposed. Proposals from the ergonomists
more often targeted the personal measures, whereas the workers’ proposals targeted technology or organizational changes. Six companies implemented at least one of the action proposals. These action proposals were not
related to evaluation metrics, nor were they evaluated. This study indicates that both ergonomists and companies
need guidance on how to improve to work in a participatory process for the implementation and evaluation of
risk-reducing actions, e.g., by how to better include workers’ experiences.
