Abstract

The lifting of heavy loads is the most physically demanding aspect of many occupations. Clean-up work at hazardous waste sites involves heavy manual labor, frequently under significant thermal stress created by personal protective equipment. Worker fitness is particularly important in hazardous waste work in view of the increased demands required on the musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary systems.
