Health and safety at work directly influence the development of sustainable agriculture. In the agricultural sector, many farm workers suffer musculoskeletal disorders caused by forced posture. The objective of this research is to assess working postures during melon cultivation in Almería-type greenhouses. The Ovako Working Posture Assessment System (OWAS) has been used with pictures of the tasks. The variables studied by multiple correspondence analysis were as follows: Subtask, Posture code, Back, Arms, Legs, Load, Risk, and Risk combination. The OWAS analysis showed that 47.57% of the postures were assessed as risk category 2, 14.32% as risk category 3, 0.47% as risk category 4, and the rest as risk category 1. Corrective measures should be implemented immediately, as soon as possible, or in the near future, depending on the risks detected.

“…et al [41], Tixier et al [42]) in laboratory experiments (Dempsey et al [43]) or using digital human modeling (Illmann et al [44], Demirel and Duffy [3], Fritzsche et al [45], Neumann and Medbo [46], Cimino et al [47]) have been used to complete the comprehension, formalizing and modeling of the decisional subsystem of the system under study. Quantitative or qualitative characterization of such a model can be achieved using Bayesian methods (Knegtering and Pasman [48], Hu et al [49]) or multi-criteria methods such as AHP (analytical hierarchy process) (Saaty, [98]) or ELECTRE, when specific events can be associated with risks and probabilities of their occurrence can be estimated.…”

Airliner maintenance is a high-risk sector from an occupational health and safety perspective. In the current context of increasing air traffic worldwide and in view of the economic and safety issues associated with aircraft maintenance, it is imperative that companies providing this service receive support in their quest to reconcile operational performance with OHS. A survey of interdisciplinary research published from 2004 to 2014 allowed analysis of current thought in industrial engineering, human factors engineering and aeronautical de-icing, thus revealing a need for the design of aircraft de-icing activities that are sustainable, holistic and integrated. In response to market evolution, aeronautics will have to offer aircrafts that are greener, meaning safe for all users (including maintenance workers) and the environment throughout the product lifecycle.

“…Physical ergonomics deals with human anatomical, anthropometric, physiological and biomechanical aspects as they relate to physical activity; whereas cognitive ergonomics emphasizes on issues like perception, memory, reasoning and motor response (International Ergonomics Association, 2000). Interactions between human and the industrial working environment create challenging problems, reportedly increasing during the last few years, especially in the manufacturing systems scenario (Cimino et al, 2009).…”
