"This publication presents the results of an expert forecast on emerging physical OSH risks based on a Delphi survey. The risks identified in the expert survey are related to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), noise, vibration, thermal risks, risks related to ionising and non-ionising radiation, to machinery, work processes and technologies, as well as various ergonomic risks. A literature review explores in more depth the context and the health outcomes of five of the main emerging risks singled out in the forecast."
