1 Scope
This document is intended to be used alongside ISO/TR 12295, ISO 11226, the ISO 11228 series and ISO/TR 23476 in the construction sector.
This document (although the examples shown refer only to the civil construction sector)
gives information on how existing standards can be used in a global sector, such as
construction. Where biomechanical overload is a relevant aspect, albeit with different
characteristics, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are common and specific
preventive actions are needed.
This document is intended to:
-
1) define the user(s) and fields for its application (including non-experts in ergonomics);
-
2) provide examples of procedures for hazard identification, risk estimation or evaluation and risk reduction in different agricultural settings, through:
-
— more synthetic procedural schemes (main test);
-
— more analytical explanations of the procedures, through mathematical models and application examples, and with the use of specific free simple tools in Annexes A, B and C.
