Effect of a redesigned two-wheeled container for refuse collecting on mechanical loading of low back and shoulders

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to compare the mechanical and perceived workload when working with a redesigned two-wheeler container and working with a standard two-wheeled container for refuses collecting. It was concluded that, if empty containers are placed back onto the pavement as infrequently as possible, the introduction of the redesigned container could result in a reduction of the low back and shoulder load for refuse collectors.
