A Survey lifting the cylindrical things and comparing them with the NIOSH lifting index
Background and Objectives: This study focused on lifting drill rods. Drilling is a repetitive and heavy mining operation with a high incidence and severity of musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of this study was to examine how to lift a vertical drill bit (1.61m and 35kg in height) using two types of rod height and four feet positions, and finally compare them with the Lifting Index (LI). M...
متن کاملMechanical lifting energy consumption in work activities designed by means of the “revised NIOSH lifting equation”
The aims of the present work were: to calculate lifting energy consumption (LEC) in work activities designed to have a growing lifting index (LI) by means of revised NIOSH lifting equation; to evaluate the relationship between LEC and forces at the L5-S1 joint. The kinematic and kinetic data of 20 workers were recorded during the execution of lifting tasks in three conditions. We computed kinet...
متن کاملEfficacy of the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation to Predict Risk of Low-Back Pain Associated With Manual Lifting: A One-Year Prospective Study
OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of the Revised National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) lifting equation (RNLE) to predict risk of low-back pain (LBP). BACKGROUND In 1993, NIOSH published the RNLE as a risk assessment method for LBP associated with manual lifting. To date, there has been little research evaluating the RNLE as a predictor of the risk o...
متن کاملa comparative assessment of manual load lifting using niosh equation and wisha index methods in industrial workers of shiraz city
background: manual load lifting is the most common and stressful activity that imposes high biomechanical pressures on the body, particularly on the back. diverse studies have shown that load lifting can cause work-related musculoskeletal disorders among workers. this study was conducted to assess manual lifting activity using niosh equation and wisha index and compare the results of the two me...
متن کاملAn evaluation of the NIOSH Lifting Equation: a psychophysical and biomechanical investigation.
Using the results of psychophysical and biomechanical experiments, NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Recommended Weight Limit (RWL), the Lifting Index (LI), the form of the asymmetry multiplier, and the criterion for compression force were investigated. Analysis of the results indicated a significant difference between the NIOSH RWL and the reported Maximum Acceptabl...
