The IEA MusculoSkeletal Disorder (MSD) Technical Committee is accepting submissions for the IEA 2009 Congress in Beijing, China.

This Track encourages papers, special sessions, panels, and demonstrations that address prevention of MSD in different working and geographical contexts. Main topics could include epidemiological, laboratory, field and case studies, methods for risk assessment and management, and practical demonstrations.

Relevant topics include experiences of MSD prevention in special working sectors (e.g. agriculture, fishing, construction, SME, healthcare) as well as in “traditional” manufacturing and office work.

Special sessions devoted to national or international MSD prevention strategies, guidelines and standards, as well as cost-effectiveness aspects and demonstrations of new tools/software/methods addressing MSD prevention are welcome.

If you intend to organize some special event in the area of “MSD”, or for any other questions, please contact me at epmenrico@tiscali.it or Enrico.Occhipinti@unimi.it
