1 Scope
This document establishes an ergonomic model for any cyclical human work planned and
executed in an industrial competitive environment. It also covers the process of measuring
work based on the concept of normal work performance and of the assessment of risk
factors commonly associated with body postures, body or hand forces, manual material
handling of loads and handling low loads at high frequency.
This document applies to the adult working population and is intended to give reasonable
protection for nearly all healthy adults. Those areas concerning health risks and
control measures are mainly based on experimental studies regarding musculoskeletal
loading, discomfort or pain and endurance or fatigue related to work organization and methods.
The scope of this document is any cyclical human work planned and executed in an industrial
competitive environment. The most typical cases are within industries where there
is the need to define an expected output (products or services) based on the optimization
of the trade-off between labour productivity and health and safety.
The most sensitive organizations to this proposal are those within labour-intensive
manufacturing industries with series and batch production systems:
— automotive (original equipment manufacturer and tier 1 and 2 suppliers);
— industrial automotive (trucks, buses, agricultural and mining equipment);
