Provisional Recommended Weight Limits for Manual Lifting During Pregnancy
OBJECTIVE The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Revised Lifting Equation (RNLE) was adapted to derive recommended weight limits (RWLs) for pregnant workers and to develop corresponding guidelines for clinicians. BACKGROUND In the past three decades there has been a large increase in the number of women employed outside the home and remaining in the workforce during...
متن کاملParametric optimization of cylindrical grinding process through hybrid Taguchi method and RSM approach using genetic algorithm
The present investigation proposes a hybrid technique: Taguchi method, response surface methodology (RSM) and genetic algorithm (GA), to analyze, model and predict vibration and surface roughness in traverse cut cylindrical grinding of aluminum alloy. Experiments have been conducted as per L9 orthogonal array of Taguchi methodology using several levels of the grinding parameters. Analysis of va...
متن کاملApplication of Taguchi design for optimization of corrosion behavior of amorphous silica thin film deposited through sol-gel dipping technique
Amorphous silica thin films were applied on the 316L stainless steel substrates by sol-gel dipping technique. The starting chemicals (TEOS, ethanol, HCl, PEG, and NaOH) were used to prepare a gel and then deposited on a substrate. The microstructure, topography, corrosion behavior, and surface hardness were investigated using SEM, AFM, electrochemical method, and micro-hardness measurements. Th...
متن کاملEffect of background music on maximum acceptable weight of manual lifting tasks.
This study used the psychophysical approach to investigate the impact of tempo and volume of background music on the maximum acceptable weight of lift (MAWL), heart rate (HR) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) of participants engaged in lifting. Ten male college students participated in this study. They lifted a box from the floor, walked 1-2 steps as required, placed the box on a table and...
متن کاملAssessment of manual material handling in a tile and ceramic factory using the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health equation in 2016
Background: Manual handling, lifting, or carrying of material is responsible for non-fatal injuries among employees in industries. It is the second most prevalent reported risk factor in workplaces that can lead to potential manual handling accidents and longer-term musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The aim of this study was the evaluation of manual material handling using the American National...
