Abstract:
This paper reviews some typical industrial work postures which have to be adopted as a result of either poorly designed machinery or workplace layout. Brief case studies of investigations carried out by the Materials Handling Research Unit (MHRU) are described. They illustrate the dangers associated with the postures and work environments which have been found to contribute to high incidences of industrial back injury. The handling problems considered by this paper will include those associated with cable drums, 200 litre drums, sacks and workstation design.
