Sažetak
One of common considerations in physical ergonomics practice is prevention of musculoskeletal disorders with imperative to identify directives that lead to more effective health protection. To ensure safety and well-being, creating of appropriate prevention strategies based on relevant parameters are crucial. Regarding occurrence of LBP (low back pain) and correlated costs, thorough knowledge of the functionality of the spine (as well as complete musculoskeletal functionality) is the basis for determining the appropriate recommendations, and also consequent limitations. This knowledge should be holistic as much as possible. The talk will present biomechanical understanding of the lumbar spine system in order to create safety precaution indicators. Findings indicates that evaluation score of personal psychophysical capacity depends on age, gender, anthropometric data and appropriate skills, experience, assignment structure, its intensity and complexity, but not limited to. Actual task analysis will be illustrated via compared diagrams of lumbar spine moment that are used to point at critical considerations. In conclusion, safety and well-being of individuals requires determination of case sensitive risk factors, limitations and even exclusions. This is considered as most suitable injury prevention and safety implementation strategy that suggests that it is necessary to match task/assignment to person/s that should perform it.
