Repetitive movements at work

On request of the Minister of Social Affairs and Employment (SZW), the Health Council of the Netherlands examined the question of whether there are current or longer term options for deriving concrete occupational health-related or safety-related exposure limits for repetitive movements at work. This advisory report is one of a series in which the Committee on the Identification of Workplace Risks examines various occupational risks covered by the Dutch Working Conditions Act and its associated regulations. The Committee has studied the scientific evidence on the negative health effects of repetitive movements.
