Repetitive handling tasks in cold environments
Repetitive Handling in Cold Environments: What Are the Impacts?
The physical effects of repetitive handling in the workplace are well known: muscle fatigue, injuries, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)… But what happens when these tasks are performed in an environment considered cold?
Working conditions change drastically: lower temperatures cause stiffness, reduced dexterity, decreased alertness, and accelerate the onset of fatigue. These constraints add to the biomechanical risks already present during handling operations.
In certain sectors, thousands of employees face this dual challenge daily: handling, moving, or carrying loads while also coping with the cold.
