Aim of this study is to assess the risk from biomechanical overload for the whole musculoskeletal system and manual handling involved in the activity of stone paving of the road. According to the guidelines of the Italian Society of Occupational Medicine and Industrial Hygiene various risk assessment methods have been used: Washington State checklist, checklist of Turin and OCRA checklist to assess the risk from biomechanical overload for the upper limb and NIOSH method with the method provided by the State of Washington to assess the risk from manual handling of loads.
