6. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling If the workstations are too tall or too low people will not adapt, they will just be placed into tasks that will put them under additional stress. Traditionally equipment was designed for the average worker which meant that it was too low for half of the population and too high for the other half. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

7. Ergonomics is a term that comes from two Greek words “ ergos ” and “ nomos ” which could be literally translated as the study of work. Ergonomics is not a new concept it has been around for decades… We often discuss ergonomics in terms of fitting the work to the worker. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling Ergonomics

8. This is opposed to a previous concept were workers were expected to adapt to existing equipment and setup. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling Ergonomics

9. Many people have studied the science of ergonomics and their results can provide us with information that we can use to design jobs and tasks that will better fit our workers. If the design fits the worker better, it means that it is also designed to match their physical abilities better. This fact should make it easier for the worker to perform their job.

10. " Manual handling " means using your body to exert force to handle, support or restrain any object, and includes not only lifting and carrying but also repetitive tasks. A  manual handling   task that has the potential to cause injury is a "hazardous   manual handling   task". Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

11. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling Manual Handling  also involves any transporting or supporting of a load by one or more employees or moving a load,…. which by reason of its characteristics or unfavorable ergonomic conditions, involves  risk , particularly of back injury , to employees.

12. If not carried out ergonomically, manual handling activities can lead to serious physical injury – to you and the person you are moving. Risks of Hazardous Manual Handling Task Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common injury caused by non-ergonomic manual handling practices. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

13. Risks of Hazardous Manual Handling Task Like back pain and upper and lower limb disorders, including aches, tenderness and stiffness in the legs, hips, shoulders, neck and joints. The person being moved may also suffer from damage to fragile skin, cuts, grazes, bruises, and injuries to the neck, shoulders and arms if they are not handled with care. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

14.  Anthropometry and Anatomy Anthropometry , or anthropometrics ; is the study of human body measurements . At its most basic, anthropometrics is used to help scientists and anthropologists understand physical variations among humans. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

15.  Anthropometry In the modern era, anthropometrics have had more practical applications, particularly in the areas of genetic research and workplace ergonomics.  Anthropometrics are useful for a wide array of applications, providing a kind of baseline for human measurement.  Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

16. The typical body measurements used in anthropometrics include height, weight, body mass index (or BMI), waist-to-hip ratio and body fat percentage. By studying the differences in these measurements among humans, researchers can assess risk factors for a host of diseases.  Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

17. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

18. ANTHROPOMETRICS IN ERGONOMIC DESIGN Ergonomics is the study of people's efficiency in their working environment. So ergonomic design seeks to create the most efficient workplace while providing comfort for the people within it. For the purposes of ergonomic design, anthropometrics offers information about the average human build to accommodate the largest set of the population based on an anthropometric range. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

19. Ergonomics & Manual Handling This gives chair makers data they can use to devise more comfortable seating, for example. Desk manufacturers can build desks that don't force workers to hunch in uncomfortable positions, and keyboards can be designed to reduce the likelihood of repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome. 

20.  Anatomy Anatomy; from the Greek  anatomē  "dissection” cut up, cut open“, is the scientific study of the structure of organisms including their systems, organs and tissues. It includes the appearance and position of the various parts, the materials from which they are composed, their locations and their relationships with other parts. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

21.  Anatomy Anatomy ;  The study of human or animal form, by observation or examination of the bodily structure of humans and other living things, especially as revealed by dissection and the separation of parts. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

22.  Anatomy Physical  ergonomics  is concerned with human  anatomy , and some of the anthropometric, physiological and bio mechanical characteristics as they relate to physical activity. For example, an anatomist is concerned with the shape, size, position, structure, blood supply and innervations of an organ such as the liver. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

23. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling

24. For example, an anatomist is concerned with the shape, size, position, structure, blood supply and innervations of an organ such as the liver. Physical  ergonomic  principles have been widely used in the design of both consumer and industrial products. Introduction to Ergonomics & Manual Handling  Anatomy

25. Medical conditions are often related to other diseases and conditions. These conditions may be a cause or symptom of Low Back Pain or be a condition for which you may be at increased risk. Types and causes of injuries and illnesses  Back/lower limb pain

26.  Back/lower limb pain or Sciatica? Back pain is extremely common. There are many causes of lower back pain that are not sciatica. Frequently, low back pain is caused by back strain of muscles and ligaments. The characteristic feature of sciatica is pain that radiates down the leg from the low back, often reaching the foot. Types and causes of injuries and illnesses

27.  Back/lower limb pain ( Sciatica) Sciatica is a pain that radiates from the low back down a lower extremity; it is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve transmits sensation from the lower extremities and lumbar area of the low back. It is common for people to recover from sciatica without a surgical operation. Types and causes of injuries and illnesses

28. Sciatica Symptoms; Low back pain that radiates to the hip, buttock, and down a lower extremity is the most common symptom of sciatica. Sometimes sciatica pain worsens with bending at the waist, coughing, sitting, or sneezing. Sciatica can also cause tingling, numbness, or weakness of the leg. Sciatica symptoms can occur rapidly and persist for weeks.  Back/lower limb pain ( Sciatica) Types and causes of injuries and illnesses

29.  Sciatica is common as we reach middle age. Pregnancy can lead to sciatica as a result of direct pressure on the sciatic nerve by the enlarging uterus. Other causes of sciatica are degenerative spinal arthritis and lumbar disk hernia. Who Is Likely to Get Sciatica? Types and causes of injuries and illnesses

30.  Is your Back/lower limb pain Sciatica? Cause: Herniated Disk. Disk hernia is a common cause of sciatica. The disk cushions between the spinal vertebrae weaken and are more vulnerable to injury as we age. The weakened disk can herniate its gel-like center to cause direct pressure on the nerves in the spinal canal that form the sciatic nerve. Types and causes of injuries and illnesses

31. Diagnosing Sciatica: To detect the cause of sciatica, the doctor will ask about all the symptoms you are experiencing and their location and aggravating or relieving features. During the examination, you may be asked to do various maneuvers with the lower extremities  Is your Back/lower limb pain Sciatica? Types and causes of injuries and illnesses

47. Standing is a natural human posture and by itself poses no particular health hazard. However, working in a standing position for long periods of time and on a regular basis can cause; Ergonomics principals to Standing & Manual Handling Workstation job sore feet, swelling of the legs, general muscular fatigue, lower back pain, stiffness in the neck and shoulders, all in a relatively short time.

48.   For the best health and safety outcome, workers should be able to adopt a variety of positions - that is to have the option to sit, stand, move around and vary the nature of work tasks.  Ergonomics principals to Standing & Manual Handling Workstation job It is important for the worker to be able to equally distribute loads on different parts of the body, with no physical strain.

49. Variety of good posture at workstation.   Ergonomics principals to Standing & Manual Handling Workstation job

50. Ergonomics principals to Standing & Manual Handling Workstation job Reduce the time spent standing or walking Obtain suitable, adjustable chairs Have more rest breaks Alternate standing and walking with sitting Make work surfaces height- adjustable. The following key advice from the TUC (Britain's peak union council) and the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety on Standing & Manual Handling Workstation job should be to:

51. Floor/standing surface Wooden, cork or rubber-covered floors are far preferable to concrete. If the floor surface is hard, then provide mats for the workers to stand on. Ergonomics principals to Standing & Manual Handling Workstation job Floor mats must be dense enough to cushion the feet, but not too thick ('anti-fatigue' matting is available). Too much cushioning, from thick foam-rubber mats, for example, can cause fatigue and increase the hazard of tripping.

52. Advice for proper Standing Workstation position: Workers should always face what they are working on, with their body close to the work. Workspace should be adjusted for enough space to change working position. Ergonomics principals to Standing & Manual Handling Workstation job Foot rail or portable footrest be provided to shift their body weight from both legs to one or the other leg. A seat whenever possible while working, or at least during rest breaks.

53. Comfortable Footwear: The comfort of the legs, hips and back depends on the feet and Foot comfort depends largely on footwear. Ergonomics principals to Standing & Manual Handling Workstation job Shoes need to be wide enough to leave room to move toes. Shoes should have arch supports to prevent flattening of the feet, and a heel with a firm grip to prevent slipping. The footwear should have heels that are not flat, but are no higher than 5 cm (2 inches).

54. Ergonomics principals to Standing & Manual Handling Workstation job Lace-up shoes are preferable, as they allow the worker to tighten the instep of the footwear, ensuring the foot does not slip inside the shoe or boot. If the worker is standing on a metal or cement floor, the foot should be cushioned with a shock-absorbing insole. Comfortable Footwear: The comfort of the legs, hips and back depends on the feet and Foot comfort depends largely on footwear.

55. Ergonomics principals to Standing & Manual Handling Workstation job Relief stress on a Pedestal Stool A pedestal stool is an adjustable seat, usually 65-85cm high, which is tilted forwards between 15 and 30 degrees. Pedestal stools are generally used in the workplace to vary a standing work posture, when workers are required to stand for long periods. They allow the worker to adopt a semi-supported posture, to relieve the stress on the legs. Do not use a pedestal stool for long periods of time, as it is only suited to relief stress on long standing activities.

56. The Manual Handling Operations The Manual Handling Operations Correct and Proper Handling & Lifting Techniques The manual handling risk assessment procedure

57. The Manual Handling Operations Squat  down, bending at the hips and  knees  only. If needed, put one knee to the floor and your other knee in front of you, bent at a right angle (half kneeling). Correct and Proper Handling & Lifting Techniques Slowly lift  by straightening your hips and  knees  (not your back). Keep your back straight , and don't twist as you lift. Do not attempt to lift by bending forward. Never lift a heavy object above shoulder level.

58. The Manual Handling Operations Correct and Proper Handling & Lifting Techniques Use your feet  to change direction, taking small steps. Lead with your hips  as you change direction. Keep good posture.   Look straight ahead, and keep your back straight, your chest out, and your shoulders back. This helps keep your upper back straight while having a slight arch in your lower back.

59. The Manual Handling Operations Correct and Proper Handling & Lifting Techniques Hold  the load as close to your body as possible, at the level of your belly button. Set down   your load carefully, squatting with the knees and hips only

60. The Manual Handling Operations The manual handling risk assessment procedure gives direction and practical information to those that work in the manufacturing sector on action that can be taken to manage the potential hazard of manual handling in the workplace. This is necessary to work towards preventing musculoskeletal injuries at work and reducing exposure to high financial costs including compensation claims.

61. The Manual Handling Operations Introduction The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (as amended) requires employers to: avoid the need for hazardous manual handling, as far as reasonably practicable; assess the risk of injury from any hazardous manual handling that can’t be avoided; and reduce the risk of injury from hazardous manual handling, as far as reasonably practicable. The risk should be reduced to the lowest level ‘reasonably practicable’. That means reducing the risk until the cost of any further precautions - time, effort or money - would be far too great in proportion to the benefits.

62. The Manual Handling Operations The basic principle of the regulation is that where manual handling activities may involve a risk of injury (particularly to the back) due to unfavorable ergonomic conditions, the employer must take measures to avoid or reduce the risk of injury. The manual handling risk assessment procedure

63. The Manual Handling Operations The employer needs to take measures to implement preventative measures based on the outcomes of the risk assessments. The manual handling risk assessment procedure The employer needs to manage the hazard through implementation of a manual handling risk assessment process .

64. The Manual Handling Operations The manual handling risk assessment procedure information objectives are; • To raise awareness of the business case for the hazard of manual handling and why it needs to be managed in the workplace . • To understand and recognize the potential risk factors of manual handling in their workplace To give direction on manual handling risk assessment to be used to highlight potential hazards

65. The Manual Handling Operations The manual handling risk assessment procedure objectives (continue) • To develop better ways of working, including use of handling aids, improved housekeeping or better work processes resulting in reduced handling of stock and reduced risk of musculoskeletal injury To explain how to complete a manual handling risk assessment process •To give direction on developing a safe system of work plan

66. Guide on Manual Handling Risk Assessment in the Manufacturing Sector It is useful, through consultation with staff, to get an understanding of the potential risk factors as they relate to specific tasks. Manual handling tasks that will need to be risk assessed will include one or all of the following risk factors:

67. Note: This is not an exhaustive list of risk factors for manual handling of loads Risk factor (unfavorable ergonomic condition) Picture The lifting of the load requires repeated bending of the trunk The lifting of the load requires repeated manipulation of the load at a distance from the trunk The load is very large and difficult to grasp Guide on Manual Handling Risk Assessment in the Manufacturing Sector The Unfavorable Ergonomic Manual Handling Risk Factor

68. The Unfavorable Ergonomic Manual Handling Risk Factor Note: This is not an exhaustive list of risk factors for manual handling of loads Risk factor (unfavorable ergonomic condition) Picture The physical effort can only be achieved by a twisting of the trunk The load is carried over a long distance and there is poor housekeeping with unsafe access The handling repeatedly takes place at floor level or above shoulder height Guide on Manual Handling Risk Assessment in the Manufacturing Sector

69. Note: This is not an exhaustive list of risk factors for manual handling of loads Risk factor (unfavorable ergonomic condition) Picture The lifting of the load requires repeated bending of the trunk The lifting of the load requires repeated manipulation of the load at a distance from the trunk The load is very large and difficult to grasp Guide on Manual Handling Risk Assessment in the Manufacturing Sector The Unfavorable Ergonomic Manual Handling Risk Factor

70. The Manual Handling Operations Preventative measures based on the outcomes of the risk assessments include safe system of work plans for site-specific tasks, providing; information on the use of mechanical aids, reorganization of a work activity to allow loads to be handled at a safe height or the provision of instruction to workers on; how to use handling aids or handle loads safely.

Is training required? Control Considerations for Manual Handling Ergonomic Manual Handling Checklists Think before you Lift. Manual handling occurs when you are Lifting, Lowering, Pushing, Pulling, Carrying, Moving, Holding, Restraining…. Any person, animal or thing

73. Ergonomic Manual Handling Checklists Before Lifting Stop and assess the load and if too heavy seek advice Consult management or safety officer for advice on how to manage heavy loads Plan the lift. i.e. estimate the load and know exactly where it is to be placed prior to lifting Avoid reaching out. Do not reach out to pick up any object Handle heavy objects close to the body Keep yourself in good physical shape with proper exercise and diet Avoid lifting heavy loads without help and plan the lift together Can you reduce the load??? Wherever possible use mechanical means, e.g. can you use a Forklift, winch or crane Avoid placing objects on ground if they have to be picked up at a later date Instruction and demonstration Safe Work Instruction on Manual Handling SW001

74. Ergonomic Manual Handling Checklists When Lifting Bend your knees, keep a straight back and make use of your legs to lift Lift slowly and smoothly without jerking and when turning move feet. Do not twist or turn with hips or shoulders Make sure you have a firm grip Position the feet evenly on each side of the load Bend the knees Keep you back straight and your arms close to the body Brace the stomach And remember “Lift using your legs NOT your back” Instruction and demonstration Safe Work Instruction on Manual Handling SW001 Ensure objects to be lifted have sufficient space around to enable safe lifting Make sure you are capable of lifting and your body is warm and flexible especially when weather is cold
