The effect of frequency on psychophysical responses to lifting. (1994)
Journal Article
OLIVIER, S.C. and SCOTT, P.A. 1994. The effect of frequency on psychophysical responses to lifting. Ergonomics SA, 6(1), pages 9-14.

One of the main goals of ergonomics is to establish task requirements in order to prevent injury. This is of particular importance in manual materials handling (MMH), as manual lifting represents a major cause of injury to workers and a significant c...
