I need legal basis. I would be grateful for every advice. Below I presented the legal regulation for Polish workers.
In Poland under the Regulation of the Minister of Labor and Social Policy of March 14, 2000 on occupational safety and health of manual handling and other physically demanding work tasks (Journal of Law No. 26, Item 313 as amended; No. 82, Item 930; No. 56, Item 462; No. 0 Item 854), the effective energy expenditure:
• for men for physical work involving lifting and carrying objects throughout the shift must not exceed 8400 kJ, and for irregular work (performed no more than 4 times per hour, if the total time of the work performance does not exceed 4 hours per 24 hours) - 30 kJ/min.
• for women for work involving physical effort including lifting and carrying objects throughout the shift must not exceed 5000 kJ, and for irregular work - 20 kJ/min.
Nice question. Need to know too. I am following with interest.

Good luck
I don’t think such regulatio may be there.Energy may be calculated per unit of time for machines and equipments or per unit of production.Maximum demand and connected load plays a role in overall energy consumption .
Dear Ashok Pundir,
The energy expenditure of the workers is measured while they are performing their typical job tasks with their workstations. The measurements are carried out for a few workers.
I determine the energy expenditure for the tasks of the studied job performed on the day of the measurement with the indirect calorimetry method based on pulmonary ventilation measurements . For the remaining activities,I assess the energy expenditure based on the G. Lehmann's estimation method. The pulmonary ventillation measurements is carried out with an energy expenditure meter MWE-1 (designed by the Central Institute for Labour Protection in Poland) which automatically translates the recorded volume of ventillation into energy expenditure. Sometimes I use Oxycon™ mobile (The Oxycon™ mobile device lets you determine breath-by-breath metabolic response to exercise, work or other activities. It is more expensive in practice compared to MWE.) There are more equipment to determine the energy expenditure for the tasks.
Based on the energy expenditure per minute while perfoming basic job tasks, and on their duration, the energy expenditure for the entire shift is calculated.
Best regards,
Aleksandra Polak-Sopinska
