I have not seen any publication on physiological work load of Quarry workers Of Nigerian Quarry Industry but Indian work is available in Ergonomics journal around 1988 to 1999 during this period.
if you wants to evaluate physical work load on Quarry Industry in field condition than you can do it by studying simple heart rate, oxygen consumption, energy expenditure . these are simple reliable, world wide tested procedure. go ahead wish you all the best. pcg Chennai
