Título Study of the work load of domestic garbage collectors at Haarlem
Título original Onderzoek naar de arbeidsbelasting van Haarlemse huisvuilbeladers [en holandés]
Información bibliográfica 15 Aug. 1984, Vol.62, No.16, p.635-641. Illus. 14 ref.
Resumen Study carried out with a view to evaluating organisational changes in garbage collection (once a week only instead of twice a week before, replacement of dust bins by polyethylene bags): 10 garbage collectors were selected and subjected to ergometric tests (measurement of maximum pulling strength, maximum aerobic endurance, heart rate and oxygen uptake). The results of these laboratory tests and of measurements made during actual garbage collection in 2 Netherlands towns under different conditions are given. A comparison of the results reveals that none of the garbage collectors exceeded the maximum permissible weight of 15kg per throw, and that there were no obvious differences in heart rate between the 2 towns.
