This part of ISO 11228 is designed to provide guidance on the assessment of several task variables, allowing the health risks for the working population to be evaluated. This part of ISO 11228 applies to manual handling of objects with a mass of 3 kg or more. This part of ISO 11228 applies to moderate walking speed, i.e. 0,5 m/s to 1,0 m/s on a horizontal level surface.
