I have taken one of their courses and find the assessment tools contained in their Applied Industrial Ergonomics manual to be well thought out and credible.  I just wish I had more opportunity to use those tools to better assure the consistent application to which your article refers.  At the same time, I do acknowledge having more frequently used the NIOSH lifting equation for assessments of ergonomic stress situations I have encountered.  &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">hygieneman</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:01:50 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
