The authors briefly review the risk factors for the spine involved in working activities. Three hundred workers doing different jobs were studied for their general physical condition, job-related postures, the site of any back pain, and motor activity practiced. In line with other studies, data confirm that no worker category is immune from back problems, but highlight the positive role of motor activity in pain perception.
