Study design (please select as many as appropriate)   Prospective cohort Source population (please select as many as appropriate)   Industry / occupation-based Inclusion criteria   The subjects will be aged 20-59 years, and will have worked in their current job for at least 12 months. The latter eligibility criterion is to ensure: a) that participants have been employed in a relevant job throughout the 12 month period over which symptoms will be ascertained at baseline; and b) that itinerant workers are not recruited, as these are likely to be more difficult to follow up. Ideally, participants should be full-time workers. However if they work part-time, they should be performing the relevant activities for at least 4 hours per day. Exclusion criteria   Workers below 20 years or over 59 years, those who have worked for less than 12 months prior to inclusion and those who do not perform the relevant activities for at least 4 hours per day at the time of baseline inclusion will be excluded.
