Pushing, pulling, and manoeuvring an industrial cart: a psychophysiological study.
One of the most frequent manual occupational tasks involves the pushing and pulling of a cart. Although several studies have associated health risks to pushing and pulling, the effects are not clear since occupational tasks have social, cognitive, and physical components. The present work investigates a real case of a pushing and pulling occupational task from a manufacturing company. The study initially characterises the case in accordance with Standard No. ISO 11228-2:2007 as low risk. An experiment with 14 individuals during three modalities of pushing and pulling was performed in order to further investigate the task with the application of electrophysiology. At the end, a simple questionnaire was given. The results show electrophysiological differences among the three modalities of pushing and pulling, with a major difference between action with no load and fully loaded with a full range of motions on the cart to handle.
