Original Kurzfassung:
The demographic change leads to an on average older workforce. Aging is associated with a decrease of physical abilities and an increase in physical disorders. However, guidance for the evaluation of age-critical work tasks and workplaces is needed. Using a mixed method approach, we collected data from 37 interviews with employees and management representatives and descriptively analyzed archival data sources of two large Austrian companies. Empirical findings suggest that data on different levels should be considered in analysis to derive measures that are tailored to the specific needs of industrial application.
