Last Updated a year ago
The normal working day is a maximum of 8 hours. However, it is possible to select situations where manual handling of loads is carried out in working days of more than 8 hours. This option can be applied with the factor "Extended time" which allows the following values to be selected:
- Not applicable (≤8 hours)
- Between 8-9 hours
- Between 9-10 hours
- Between 10-11 hours
- Between 11-12 hours
This factor shall only apply when the duration of the task is "Long".
Likewise, for frequencies of less than 0.2 lifts/minute, the extended time multiplier shall not apply, adopting the value of 1, even if duration values of more than 8 hours are selected.
