Cumulative trauma disorders: developing a framework for prevention.
AAOHN J. 1994 Apr; 42(4):164-70.AJ

Abstract

1. The mechanism of a special order by a regulatory agency is an effective tool to reduce workplace CTD injuries. 2. Occupational health nurses can make a major contribution to the health of workers in their companies by developing an ergonomic program to identify the scope of the problem and by providing early identification and conservative treatment. 3. A workplace prevention program for CTD injuries consists of job analysis, recordkeeping, and corrective measures including engineering controls, administrative controls, personal protective equipment, treatment, and training components. 4. The goals of any program to control CTD are to prevent injury and disability to the employee, control costs of such injury to the employee and company, and comply with OSHA regulations.
