Niosh Lifting Equation

Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (RNLE) merupakan sebuah aplikasi yang dibuat oleh National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) yang merupakan sebuah institusi di Amerika yang mengembangkan perangkat penilaian dalam bidang keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja. Salah satu aplikasi yang dikembangkan dinamakan Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation Single Task yang digunakan untuk menguji aktifitas pemindahan barang tanpa perpindahan posisi kaki. Aplikasi yang dibangun akan memberikan penilaian terhadap sistem kerja yang dilakukan oleh seorang pekerja. Salah satu hasil perhitungan dari aplikasi tersebut adalah nilai Lifting Index (LI) yang menyatakan tingkat resiko pekerjaan. Aplikasi RNLE dikembangkan dengan dasar program Microsoft Office Excel. Rumus perhitungan untuk mendapatkan nilai LI dan parameter yang diperlukan disediakan oleh NIOSH dan dapat dipelajari. Penelitian ini mengembangkan rekomendasi perbaikan sistem kerja pada aplikasi RNLE dengan menggunakan program Microsoft Office Excel. Rekomendasi perbaikan yang diutamakan adalah posisi awal benda dan posisi akhir yang sebaiknya diatur sedemikian sehingga mengoptimalkan kemampuan pekerja. Cara optimalisasi yang bisa dilakukan dengan merubah salah satu nilai parameter masukkan tanpa merubah nilai yang lainnya.

Niosh Lifting Equation

AT&T Video Ergonomics Evaluator System (AT&T-VEE) is a state-of-the-art computer analysis system used to analyze the hazards of a Manual Material Handling (MMH) task. This project was funded and managed by the American Telephone & Telegraph Company (AT & T) and designed and developed at Texas A&M University. The system is a lifting analyses tool for the 1992 NIOSH Lifting Equation to determine minimal user effort in lifting an object and to standardize the outputs. This system is now capable of providing the AT & T safety specialists with clear access to: complete NIOSH analyses, pictures of the lift environment, and background information on the MMH process. It was determined that a system, such as AT & T-VEE, was needed to reduce AT & T's MMH injuries and ensuing problems. The scope of the project was to develop a menu driven, user friendly system that would provide employees with the ability to determine the maximum weight of objects utilized at MMH tasks. In order to perform a lifting analysis, a video tape of a manual lift is first produced. The system user, in conjunction with a computer, enters employee's measurement landmarks and points of analyses, e.g., ankles, load center, weight, etc. AT & T-VEE produces a NIOSH Lifting Equation analyses, pictures and records of the MMH task.
