You are attempting to establish a work rest schedule for a job in which an operator must shovel pellet fuel in to a smelter on at regular intervals. The shovel is very heavy and the boiler room can get quite warm. Before work begins, you take the operator's baseline heart rate and find it t be 82 BPM. After working for 10 minutes, you take it again and find the operator's baseline heart rate has increased to 138 BPM. a) Using Method #1 (Energy Cost of Work - subjective observation), determine which job this most resembles and the corresponding rest cycle that would be required. b) Using Method #2 (Change in Heart Rate), calculate the rest schedule. c) Discuss how the two compare and what might account for the difference.
