Usability of manual handling aids for transporting materials
A survey of 90 users of handling aids was carried out in 12 organizations covering a range of industry and service functions. The most commonly used aids were four-wheeled trolleys, sack trucks, hand pallet trucks and cylinder trolleys. The survey showed that many of the aids were poorly designed or inappropriate for the tasks performed; some design faults increased the risk of injury. Opinions of users are discussed in terms of tasks performed, design factors, forces required, stability, steerability, handle interface, starting and stopping, loading and unloading, and security of the load. Important design features are identified.

Physical workload of lorry drivers: A comparison of four methods of transport
Four groups of lorry drivers transporting goods either on wheeled cages, as packed goods, on pallets or as bulk cargo (reference group), were studied during a complete working day. Working postures were studied by observation and heart rate was also measured. The drivers worked long hours. In general, the highest heart rate was found during loading and unloading. Poor postures of the trunk were observed in drivers lifting packed goods and pallets. It is suggested that the required pulling and pushing forces observed in all but the reference group were largely responsible for the high physical workload during loading and unloading.

Special provisions are made for derogations and for the regulation of the transport of dangerous goods by road within the territory of an individual member State. The Commission shall be assisted by a Committee on the transport of dangerous goods.
