Low back injury continues to be a problem for residential care workers. There is an absence of an assessment tool that will determine probability of low back injury based on occupational exposure. This study analysed injury incidence among residential care workers and determined perceived stress and exertion, hand forces, postures, and task frequencies encountered in routine work tasks. Biomechanical analysis determined joint forces at the low back to be in the range of 467N to 3811N compression and 66N to 471N A-P shear over all tasks. Task frequencies, joint compression forces, population low back injury data and material fatigue characteristics were used to model risk of low back injury as a function of occupational exposure. The fatigue model predicts that 50% of residential care workers will experience a low back injury by their eighth year of work experience, and 95% by their fifteenth year of work.
