<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Many manual handling activities involve combinations of pull, lift, carry, lower and push, yet few studies have investigated how to assess the risk of such combination tasks. Most recommendations assume that a combination task can be split into its tasks. The aim of this study was to compare the risks assessed in single manual handling tasks with those in combination tasks</abstract>
