Zagrożenia dla zdrowia w pracy sprzedawcy w handlu detalicznym
Health risks of a sales assistant at work

Summary/Abstract: In Poland, 3.6 million people work in the trade sector, that is 26% of the total employment. Nearly two thirds of them are women. This sector also offers many jobs for young people who are entering the labour market, and for people with lower qualifications. A sales assistant is a service occupation, in which work load depends on the range of goods sold, duties, working conditions, and the size of the store. In large stores, tasks are divided between employees. In smaller ones, one worker must be able to perform all or most activities. Typical for sales assistants types of workload, such as manual materials handling, forced posture, repetitive motions and accompanying stress, cause many health problems, especially those of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and nervous systems.
