DESIGN OF MANUAL
HANDLING
COURSE : ISYE6157011– HUMAN INTEGRATED SYSTEMS
YEAR : 2023
 OBJECTIVES
1. To be able to differentiate the right lifting method and the wrong

lifting method which can cause injury.

2. To be able to calculate NIOSH Lifting Equation.

3. To be able to calculate the effect of compressive force and shear

force in the process of lifting of the load.

4. To analyze NIOSH lifting equation, compressive force and shear

force. BIOMECHANICS AND DESIGN OF MANUAL HANDLING

 WHAT IS BIOMECHANICS?

ACCORDING TO FREIVALDS (2011)

Biomechanics is the science that deals with the
internal and external forces acting on the human
body and the effects produced by these forces.
 WHAT IS MANUAL HANDLING?

Manual handling is an activity that requires a person to lift,

push, pull, or hold a certain object by hand or bodily force.

This is usually found in the workplace.

 ORGANIZATIONS

OSHA NIOSH

(OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY (NATIONAL INSTITUTE

AND HEALTH FOR OCCUPATIONAL
ADMINISTRATION) SAFETY AND HEALTH)
• Job Strain Index (JSI) → Hands and Wrists

• Rapid Upper Limb Assessment Method (RULA) → Neck, Trunk, Shoulders,

Arms, Wrists

• Rapid Entire Body Assessment Method (REBA) → Whole Body

• The Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) → establish an action level for

change based on reports of worker discomfort on the office using computer.

ROSA > 5 Extremely dangerous

• Occupational Repetitive Actions (OCRA)→ upper-limb injury risk factors

NIOSH
NIOSH Equation

LIFTING INDEX = LOAD WEIGHT / RWL

LI ≤ 1 Not dangerous
1 < LI ≤ 3 Quite dangerous
LI > 3 Extremely dangerous
 CALCULATION FOR LIFTING
(EXAMPLE)
Diketahui :
Load Constant (LC) = 23 kg
Load Weight (LW) = 3 kg
Lifting repetition = 48 times
Times = 3 minutes
CM = 1
Aawal = 0’
Aakhir = 90’
Hawal = 25 cm
Hakhir = 48 cm
Vawal = 105 cm
Vakhir = 54 cm
