Abstract
The purpose of this study was to design a program of epidemiological surveillance for occupational lumbar pain, based on the analysis of the health and work conditions of 64 production workers in the crop of Pompoms at Jardines de Colombia during the first semester of the year 2000. With this purpose in mind, the researchers built a general and specific risd panorama of the task, drew up a complete profile of the work place, and obtained a subjective assessment of work conditions. The health conditions of the participants was determined by a medical examination and a report made by the workers themselves about previous experiences and their current situation concerning lumbar pain.
