Workplace risk assessment of physical workload with the Key Indicator Methods – current status of the tool and future challenges

Introduction: Risk assessment at workplaces with high physical workload is essential to derive ergonomic workplace redesign and other preventive measures. With the completion of the MEGAPHYS project in 2018, six major types of physical workload were distinguished and defined (manual lifting, holding, [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
