Manual Materials Handling MMH creates special problems for many different workers worldwide. Labourers engaged in jobs which require extensive lifting/lowering, carrying and pushing/pulling of heavy materials have suffered increasing rates of musculo-skeletal injury, especially to the back.; This guide is intended to include all activities involved in MMH lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying and holding. Recommendations are provided in the form of design data that can be used to design different MMH work activities. The guide is divided into two parts. Part I outlines the scope of the problem, discusses the factors that influence a person's capacity to perform MMH activities and / or should be modified to reduce the risk of injuries, and reviews the various design approaches to solving the MMH problem. Part II provides specific design data in six distinct chapters. The seventh chapter of Part II of the guide describes various mechanical devices that are available to aid MMH activities.; The guide is aimed at all concerned with the health impact of MMH activities; occupational health and safety workers; senior human resource managers; ergonomists; workers' compensation lawyers; union representatives.

The problem of injuries from manual materials handling in industry has shown little improvement over many years; the injuries account for 20% to 30% of all injuries in many countries. During 1974, a NIOSH committee produced a report (CDC-99-74-118, Herrin, Chaffin, and Mach) outlining future research needs in this area. These research needs were only able to be prioritized in a relatively simple manner at the time. Following this report, the need was felt for a mechanism to obtain national and international input to help shape NIOSH research policy in the field of Manual Materials Handling Safety. The mechan◆ism chosen to obtain this input was an International Symposium: Safety in Manual Materials Handling, which was held at the State University of New York at Buffalo in July 1976. The objectives of the symposium, and of this book reporting its findings, were two-fold: ~to present a logical and consistent framework for summarizing current knowledge in the field; ~to utilize the expertise of the international community to prioritize future research by NIOSH within the context of research proceeding in other countries.These objectives were accomplished by inviting respected members of the research and safety communities to review parts of the field, thus presenting cur◆rent knowledge in a coherent manner. Twenty-four papers were presented. These began with an overview of the needs of NIOSH, proceeded through a review of the sub-systems of the body stressed in these tasks, continued with numerical models of human performance and safety, reviewed the factors that can affect performance, and ended with problems of implementation of research. In addi◆tion to the speakers, other prominent figures in the field were invited to chair ses◆sions and lead workshops. A number of industries also sent representatives. The research areas above are presented as chapters in this book, with a final chapter summarizing the results of three goal-oriented workshops that took place on the final day of the symposium. The findings of these workshops are sum◆marized in the final recommendations. It is recommended that any future safety standard must include, as a minimum, the weight, size, and position of the load handled and its frequency of handling, as well as indicate which loads need preplacement testing of workers. Future research needs are for improved diagnosis, reporting and job description procedures, new epidemiological studies to determine the effect of particular fac◆tors, and studies to enable the effectiveness of any proposed standard to be esti◆mated.

Manual material handling (MMH) work contributes to a large percentage of the over half a million cases of musculoskeletal disorders reported annually in the United States. Musculoskeletal disorders often involve strains and sprains to the lower back, shoulders, and upper limbs. They can result in protracted pain, disability, medical treatment, and financial stress for those afflicted with them, and employers often find themselves paying the bill, either directly or through workers' compensation insurance, at the same time they must cope with the loss of the full capacity of their workers. Scientific evidence shows that effective ergonomic interventions can lower the physical demands of MMH work tasks, thereby lowering the incidence and severity of the musculoskeletal injuries they can cause. Their potential for reducing injury-related costs alone makes ergonomic interventions a useful tool for improving a company's productivity, product quality, and overall business competitiveness. But very often productivity gets an additional and solid shot in the arm when managers and workers take a fresh look at how best to use energy, equipment, and exertion to get the job done in the most efficient, effective, and effortless way possible. Planning that applies these principles can result in big wins for all concerned. This booklet will help you to recognize high-risk MMH work tasks and choose effective options for reducing their physical demands. Illustrated inside you will find approaches like: Eliminating lifting from the floor and using simple transport devices like carts or dollies; Using lift-assist devices like scissors lift tables or load levelers; Using more sophisticated equipment like powered stackers, hoists, cranes, or vacuum assist devices; Guiding your choice of equipment by analyzing and redesigning work stations and workflow.
