Title Ergonomic survey of mobile cranes.
Bibliographic information June 1973, Vol.4, No.2, p.96-104. Illus.
Abstract A mobile crane survey was purchased for 2 years in conjunction with the Construction Industry Training Board. Information on mobile cranes of the wheel and track type was collected. Operational tasks were studied, together with interactions which affect the optimum performance of the system in relation to the site organisation. Appendices detail noise exposures in crane cabins and present the results of an audiological survey of crane drivers and others.
