Air Transport

Some authors performed a study in which a new RULA method was developed. This allowed astronauts to be posturally assessed [138].

3.1.8. Accommodation and Food Service Activities

Three studies are differentiated in this field of knowledge (Table 10).

**Table 10.** Accommodation and food service activities.


Workers in an industrial kitchen, chefs at a Chinese restaurant and pub workers were assessed. RULA was used in all of these along with other ergonomic methods or tools. In the first case, RULA obtained more harmful results than for the other methods applied. The second showed that repetitive actions were performed on the upper extremities. The third concluded that very harmful tasks existed that required corrective actions [148–150].
