Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Energy expenditure and clearing snow : a comparison of shovel and snow pusher

Notes: Sumario: During the winter in northern countries snow clearing is a common and necessary form of physical work. The purpose of the present study was to quantify the energy demands of manual snow clearing following a heavy snowfall. A comparison was made between shovelling and using a snow pusher. In Scandinavia, snow pushers are generally used to clear wide areas, whereas narrower spaces are cleared with a shovelRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 38, nº 4, April 1995 ; p. 749-753Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Trabajo físico Países nórdicos Fisiología Energía Carga de materiales Climatología Condiciones de trabajo Otros autores: Smolander, Juhani
