Gives guidance on assessing relaxation times and recovery periods for human activities that have been measured by any of the work measurement techniques identified in BS 3138. Covers definitions, determination of relaxation and recovery times and exposure limits, method of determination, relaxation times for physical activities, recovery periods for non-physical activities, recovery and exposure times for environmental conditions and application of the results.
