Abstract

Due to the occupational demands, more and more workers are subject to the development of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injuries). To combat such disturbances the information is indispensable, offering to the worker an appropriate knowledge, so much theoretical as practical. The aim of this study is to discover, through a questionnaire, the semantic nets about RSI built by the participants and non participants of a work site health promotion program. The results demonstrated by the group that participated in the work site health promotion program indicated that the same seems to have been efficient in the RSI's prevention.
