Abstract
The workstations of monotype work are commonly met in industrial plants and other work places. Both repetitive work itself and the working environment factors make human body overloaded, which may affect in stress, a decrease of work efficiency, fatigue and the numerous ailments including musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). In this article, the definition of repetitive work has been given. Health disorders due to this kind of work, the existing methods for evaluating the degree of nuisance resulting from repetitiveness of movements at work as well as well as the possible impact the physical factors of the work environment may have on the employee performing a monotype job have been discussed. Four repetitive work stations have been characterized and analyzed. Workers’ subjective opinions about their working conditions have been collected by the means of survey study. In the summary, the significance and the complexity of the proper evaluation of occupational risk at repetitive workstations (mainly MSDs risk) have been mentioned. The working environment factors that generate the workload have been taken into consideration as it is crucial to identify those factors properly in order to take the effective health prevention actions.
