Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) of the limbs and spine are painful conditions of the periarticular soft tissues (muscles, tendons, vessels, etc.) and peripheral nerves secondary to overuse of occupational origin.

They can manifest as pain (the most common symptom), discomfort, stiffness, loss of precision in movements or loss of strength. The lumbar spine and upper limbs are the parts of the body most frequently affected by MSDs.

MSDs have a multifactorial origin that can be separated into 2 categories: factors linked to the individual (age, sex, medical history) and factors linked to the work environment (biomechanical constraints, work organization, psychosocial risks).

MSDs are the leading cause of compensated occupational illnesses in France (86% of occupational illnesses in 2021, according to the Health Insurance annual report), particularly in the agricultural sector to which the majority of professions in green spaces belong. . If, in the Grand Est of France, the prevalence of employees exposed to physical risks decreased in the majority of sectors of activity between 1994 and 2017, we note at the same time a slight increase in the prevalence in the agricultural sector over this period. same period (6% in 2017 compared to 3.7% in 1994, SUMER 2017 survey).

Concerning the current context in France, the green spaces sector has undergone changes in recent years following the national implementation of the Ecophyto plan in 2008 (updated in 2015 then in 2018). This plan, the latest version of which is called Ecophyto 2+, aims to reduce the use of plant protection products by 50% by 2025. At the same time, the use of plant protection products for the maintenance of green spaces, forests, roads and walks have been prohibited by the Labbé law since January 1, 2017. In this context, and given the absence of recent data from the literature on this subject in France, the investigator wishes to carry out an inventory recent physical and organizational constraints, as well as the prevalence of MSDs, in the green space sector (targeting more particularly in its study the green spaces of the Territorial Civil Service of the Grand Est)
