This paper illustrates the viewpoint of a group of Italian research workers who have been directly involved in providing criteria and guidelines for application of EC Directive 90/269, Manual handling of loads. The problems posed by application of the Directive in Italy and which are mainly related to exposure assessment, health surveillance and risk management (work and workplace redesign) are thoroughly examined. Major questions still to be solved include defining methods for assessment of multiple and complex load handling tasks, identifying data sources on 'health effect' trends as investigated in a working population with low exposure or in the general population in order to fix action levels, and setting up a data bank of technical and organizational solutions and products accessible to experts and users.
本文阐述了一组意大利研究人员的观点，他们直接参与了为欧盟第90/269号指令《货物人工搬运》的应用提供标准和指南的工作。该指令在意大利应用时出现的问题，主要涉及暴露评估、健康监测和风险管理（工作与工作场所重新设计），都得到了全面审查。仍有待解决的主要问题包括：定义评估多重和复杂货物搬运任务的方法；确定在低暴露工作人群或普通人群中所调查的“健康影响”趋势的数据源，以便确定行动水平；建立一个技术和组织解决方案及产品的数据库，供专家和用户使用。
