| Abstract |
The results of this study show that having to push more than 350 trolleys over a distance of 50m or more than 150 trolleys over 150m per hour becomes a heavy workload for the worker; that pushing more than 20 or 30 trolleys at the same time should be avoided and that strapping the trolleys together does not reduce the hardness of the task. |
