This paper summarizes a three year epidemiological study conducted in five large industrial plants in order to evaluate the validity of two alternative modeling approaches to overexertion injury prediction. Detailed biomechanical and psychophysical job evaluations were performed for 55 industrial jobs comprised of 2934 potentially stressful manual materials handling tasks. The medical experiences of 6912 incumbent workers were monitored retrospectively for two years and prospectively for one year to establish a data base for comparison of the different models. The results show that each of the models can be used to predict both the incidence and severity of certain overexertion types of injuries such as contact, musculoskeletal and back injuries. The application of these models to identify or design administrative and engineering controls, however, may be limited as a result of the inherent correlation between the available indices and multifaceted jobs.
本文总结了一项在五家大型工厂进行的为期三年的流行病学研究，目的是评估两种用于预测过度劳累损伤的替代建模方法的有效性。对55个工业岗位进行了详细的生物力学和心理物理学工作评估，这些岗位包含2934项潜在压力较大的手工物料搬运任务。对6912名在职员工的医疗经历进行了两年的回顾性监测和一年的前瞻性监测，以建立一个数据库，用于比较不同的模型。结果表明，每种模型都可用于预测某些过度劳累类型损伤的发生率和严重程度，如接触性损伤、肌肉骨骼损伤和背部损伤。然而，由于可用指标与多方面工作之间存在内在相关性，这些模型在识别或设计管理和工程控制措施方面的应用可能会受到限制。
