Abstract
In this study, a macro-ergonomic risk assessment tool was developed ba sed on criteria of scope, simplicity, practicality, usefulness, reliab ility and job-specificity. A relative stress index 'RSI' was formulate d to take into account multiple parameters, such as frequency, duratio n, repetition, weight, force, travel distance and horizontal distance. This tool was tested in nuclear remediation industry, The results are presented and discussed. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
