Abstract
�Simplified
models of analysis of the sources of risk and biomechanical overload in
the small industries sector: experience of application among
bartenders�. Background: Over the last 20 years, the
caf�/snackbar sector has undergone a substantial development in Italy,
expanding all over the country via countless small businesses, with
other larger businesses springing up especially along major
communication routes; thousands of workers are employed in this sector
today. The safety issues and health risks involved in working in this
type of service industry are often underestimated, with the risk that
accidents and diseases of occupational origin may occur among the
employees, particularly skeletal-muscular disorders. Objectives and
methods: The study, which was carried out on the premises of a major
operator, applies the method of “pre-mapping” of risk, herein
described, which can identify the presence or absence of occupational
risks and any need for further evaluation. Conclusion: The results of
the study revealed the existence of health risks for the workers: in
addition to the traditional risks there were also biomechanical
and organizational hazards.
