title: Macro-ergonomic risk assessment in nuclear remediation industry.
abstract: In this study, a macro-ergonomic risk assessment tool was developed based on criteria of scope, simplicity, practicality, usefulness, reliability and job-specificity. A relative stress index 'RSI' was formulated to take into account multiple parameters, such as frequency, duration, repetition, weight, force, travel distance and horizontal distance. This tool was tested in nuclear remediation industry. The results are presented and discussed.
