  • Title: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders with reference to the revised occupational diseases list.
    Author: Cimaglia G, Miccio A.
    Journal: Med Lav; 2006; 97(3):550-6. PubMed ID: 17009693.
    Abstract:
    Due to the different compensation schemes, compensated musculoskeletal disorders vary widely between countries. In Italy, following the Constitutional Court Decision no.179/1988, these disorders were treated as "non-listed" diseases and workers must prove their occupational origin by submitting a compensation claim for musculoskeletal disorders to INAIL. The Italian Workers Compensation Agency (INAIL) supplied guidelines for the management of these claims. Recently, a new occupational diseases list has been submitted to the Labour Ministry for approval. This list includes musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb, back and knee.
