Unlike that, work load assessment is still under-represented in agricultural work science research. Reasons for that are the complex interactions of the influencing factors on the one hand, and the varying possible reactions of the workers on the other. Thus, besides few broad approaches like the "Work Data Entry Form for Task Analysis (ABT)" according to LANDAU, 1978, a variety of heterogeneous methodical approaches for specific tasks have been developed under practical conditions.     «
