This part of ISO 20646 provides information and guidelines to properly utilise various ergonomics standards
concerning the factors related to local muscular workload (LMWL), and helps develop activities to reduce
LMWL in workplaces, in an effective and efficient manner. This part of ISO 20646 is intended primarily for
employers, ergonomics and occupational health-related staff in enterprises, and workers. Specific measures
to reduce LMWL can be applied to non-professional activities. Although this part of ISO 20646 provides ideas
of effective and efficient measures to reduce LMWL, it does not certify the complete prevention of health
problems caused by LMWL.
