Hello,

Have you had a look at the RULA or REBA assessment tools? They are quick and easy forms of ergonomic assessments that you may find useful.

Hello

Ergonomic assessment of traditional hand tools can be done either by heart rate or oxygen consumption measurement or subjective methods like RULA, REBA, discomfort scale etc. You can also see my some of papers. After that if you have any confusion, please let me inform.

Thank you Mr.Rocco and Mr. Shivpratap. I tried RULA method but I want to know is there any method out of this. I will refer your papers also.

Thanks.

Please go though following paper from my profile.

Singh, S P. 2013. Ergonomical evaluation of hand operated maize dehusker-sheller with farm women. Agricultural Engineering International: CIGR Journal, 15(2), 194-202.

No problem - You may also wish to look at the ORCA, the Washington State Ergonomic and MSD Risk Assessment tool or the Liberty Mutual Manual Material Handling Tables. I will be uploading more publications shortly. Good luck!

Thank you Mr. Rocco and Mr.Shiv pratap Singh information which you have shared will definitely help to me.
