Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Ergonomic research study on aircraft luggage handling

Notas: Sumario: In this study, the lifting and carrying of freight and luggage at a large German airport is classified by typical conditions of performance. These manual load handling tasks take place in height restricted workplaces. Different methods for an ergonomic evaluation of these tasks are used. The results of the epidemiological, physiological, and biomechanical studies indicated a strain bottleneck during loading tasks in aircraft holds. As a result of the study, the airport has developed a special lifting and carrying training for the aircraft handlers which aims to reduce strain on the postural and locomotor apparatus by an appropriate technique of workRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 35, nº 9, September 1992 ; p. 997-1012Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Biomecánica Epidemiología Fisiología Aparato locomotor Enfermedades profesionales Condiciones de trabajo Formación Carga de materiales Aeropuertos Otros autores: Rohmert, Walter
