Ces aspects ont fait l’objet d’une étude portant sur 100 employés de 10 entreprises dans le secteur de la fabrication de pièces mécaniques en Chine et en Indonésie. Il a été constaté que, dans les entreprises indonésiennes concernées, les femmes étaient victimes de davantage de blessures que les hommes, et qu’en Chine et en ... |
