- W1987017464 abstract "The most frequent and expensive cause category of compensable loss is manual material handling (MMH). In an attempt to minimize these losses, refinement of existing MMH guidelines is a component of redesigning high risk MMH jobs. In the development of our present MMH guidelines [Snook and Ciriello, 1991. Ergonomics 34, 1197–1213] maximum acceptable weights (MAWs) of lowering were assumed to respond similarly to the parameters of lifting. Also, MAWs of lifting various vertical distances with a large box were assumed to respond in the same way as lifting various vertical distances with a small box. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effects of vertical distance and box size on MAWs of lifting and lowering and the effects of height on MAWs of lowering. The effects of a four component combination task on MAW were also investigated. Ten female industrial workers performed 27 variations of lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, and carrying. A psychophysical methodology was used whereby the subjects were asked to select a workload they could sustain for 8 h without “straining themselves or without becoming unusually tired, weakened, overheated or out of breath.” The results revealed that MAWs of lowering were not affected by distance of lowering, height of lowering or box size. The results also indicated that MAWs of lifting large boxes were not significantly affected by vertical distance of lift. Maximum acceptable force of push in the combination task comprised lifting, carrying, lowering and pushing was significantly reduced compared to an individual pushing task. It was concluded that our existing guidelines present a conservative estimate of the variables studied except for the combination task. In that case, recommendations are given for adjustment of MAW. Lowering is the second most common MMH task but has been given considerably less attention in research as compared to lifting. This study investigated select variables of lowering in an effort to improve estimation of MAWs for ergonomic redesign." @default.
