Different Evaluation Techniques for Manual Material Handling

Balwinder Singh, Jaswinder Singh

Abstract :

In this present paper, some of manual box lifting techniques are reviewed which are generally used by Industries globally. Different manual box lifting methods have different impact on heart rate (HR) and oxygen consumption (VO2) and related factors while doing a manual lifting task. Box shape and type with maximum lifting frequency increases the HR, VO2, L4/L5 compression force and other related human factors during manual lifting task and also increases the fatigue. In order to minimise the effects of box lifting on these factors and fatigue we have to practice on new and better manual box lifting techniques and we have to use some precautions based on physiological, biomechanical and psycho physiological approach.
