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 />
