abstract = "The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in the population of drivers involved in the transportation of dangerous goods. The case study investigated a company performing such activities since 2010, for which risks have been evaluated in previous studies. The investigation consisted of a survey among drivers to verify the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and perceive risks in the work routine, followed by the application of the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method to the activities of fuel loading and unloading. Half of the drivers reported musculoskeletal disorder symptoms, particularly in feet and ankles, hands and wrists, lower back and neck regions. RULA results demonstrated a need for immediate changes in activities and that the bottom loading system should be prioritized.",
