Safe maintenance in practice<br />

Maintenance is to keep and preserve equipment<br />

and facility in a functional state. Maintenance is<br />

structures or productivity <strong>of</strong> a company, but regular<br />

maintenance also has an important role in providing<br />

safer and healthier working conditions.<br />

The report is primarily aimed at maintenance<br />

managers and engineers, production managers who<br />

procure external maintenance services, managers<br />

<strong>of</strong> maintenance companies that carry out contract<br />

maintenance, and safety and health representatives.<br />

EU — Facts and figures<br />

The World Health Organisation has defined a workrelated<br />

disorder as one that results from a number<br />

<strong>of</strong> factors, and where <strong>the</strong> work environment and <strong>the</strong><br />

performance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> work contribute significantly, but<br />

in varying magnitude, to <strong>the</strong> causation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> disease.<br />

The term musculoskeletal disorder denotes health<br />

problems <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> locomotor apparatus, i.e. muscles,<br />

tendons, <strong>the</strong> skeleton, cartilage, <strong>the</strong> vascular system,<br />

ligaments and nerves.<br />

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders include<br />

all musculoskeletal disorders that are induced<br />

or aggravated by work and <strong>the</strong> circumstances <strong>of</strong><br />

its performance.<br />
