| Tiivistelmä: | Back pain in the nursing profession is an acknowledged widespread occupational hazard. This study used OWAS (Ovako Working posture Analysis System) to measure the severity of the working postures adopted by nurses when carrying out manual handling operations for animate and inanimate loads. The results of the study lead to the recommendation that an attitudinal change is needed to successfully address and reduce the manual handling burden which is currently being carried by the nursing staff. |
