Abstract
The objective of the study was to reduce musculoskeletal disorder risks by applying the NIOSH lifting equation variables include the horizontal location, the vertical location, the vertical travel distance, the asymmetric, the lifting frequency and the coupling classification. The 17 specific samples from 4W and ZECP division were selected by the weight of box 15.4 - 28.7 pounds. The standardized Nordic questionnaire for the analysis of musculoskeletal symptoms with pain scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain) was used to self-report feeling. The ergonomics redesigns trained for the workers included: 1) brought the load closer to the worker by training; 2) raised the height of objects placed to reduce the vertical distance between the origin and destination of the lift; and 3) moved the origin and destination of lift closer together to reduce the angel twist. The new procedures were trained to all participated workers. The result found that the lifting index was safer (
Highlights
In 2013 the Department of Labor Protection and Welfare, Thailand reported the amount of occupational disease was 131,826 cases that had 1335 workers (1.01%) who lifted or moved the heavy object [1]
The NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) is an institute where dare to the office researches occupational health and safety of the United States of America. They do the development go up the equation for use to assess lifting of manually conveniently in the usability more and more, since 1981 by specify the risk factor in the work at might cause dangerous the muscle system and bone compose the material weight, How to cite this paper: Meepradit, P., Sunee, N. and Chantrasa, R. (2015) The Application of NIOSH Lifting Equation to Prevent Musculoskeletal Disorder Risks
The researcher do interested in the importance in work condition adaptation to be safe for the worker who performs about manual lifting in an auto-part factory at might have the condition risks to build abnormality occurrence is lower back area, by taking the factors of the equation come to use for adaptation work condition, and assess compare with before and after by using the related factors of NIOSH lifting equation for decreasing the risk might have an effect on to the low back pain symptoms and give the worker has the safety permanently
