| Abstract |
Heart rate, musculoskeletal complaints and diseases as well as pressure on the lower lumbar column of 44 luggage handlers were determined. Work comprised loading and unloading of aircrafts. The influence of the height of aircraft luggage compartments and of load weight on physiological strain was analysed. Results led to a training programme on ergonomic luggage handling in confined spaces. |
