International audience. The occupational driving of light-duty vehicles (LDVs) is become increasingly important in the messaging services and parcel drop-off by driver delivers. Whatever the vehicle driven and the work activity, the musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most frequently reported medical problems related to occupational driving, However, it becomes extremely difficult to extrapolate the results of the specific studies to mail delivery and messaging sector as there is paucity of literature focusing on these activities. This is why INRS undetook to analyze through an epidemiological study conducted in collaboration with La Poste group, the association between driving of LDVs for the delivery of mail/parcels and low back pain, upper limb MSDs and perceived health. Highlighting work-related modifiable risk and protective factors of MSDs could contribute to their prevention. . La conduite professionnelle de véhicule utilitaire léger (VUL) prend une importance croissante dans le secteur de la livraison/messagerie. Les troubles musculosquelettiques (TMS) représentent la principale pathologie rapportée en lien avec la conduite professionnelle pour d’autres activités mais les données de la littérature sont difficilement extrapolables à celles de messagerie/livraison. Une étude a été menée à La Poste afin d’analyser l’effet de la conduite dans les activités de distribution de courrier/colis sur les lombalgies et les TMS des membres supérieurs, ainsi que sur la santé perçue. L’identification de facteurs modifiables ouvre des pistes pour des actions de prévention.
