if your CSV has col names that match a table field names (as defined in 
web2py's db.define_table) you simply do

db.define_table('workers',Field('w_organisation'),...., migrate=False)

db.workers.import_from_csv_file(open('filename.csv'))

migrate=False because I assume the table already exists in database, set to 
to True if the table is to be created.
