The objective is to provide a work environment which will facilitate the efficient operation of the visual display terminal (VDT) and provide the user with comfortable working conditions. In particular, the combined effects of light, noise and heat are important in determining the work environment.

ABSTRACTS capacity
). On any treatment condition, the subjects held the box till their endurance limit. The endurance time and the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were the dependent measures. For the RPE, it was observed that the asymmetric position 6/8 was the best. Similarly, the handle position 6/8 had the longest endurance as observed by a third-order polynomial fit. The differences among the handle positions were consistent across all levels and exertions tested. Further, it appears that the maximum lifting capacity is closer to the grip strength of the non-dominant hand.
