Results from a study on load handling in two warehouses are presented. The loads were mainly handled with the back bent and in twisted postures. The so-called 'correct lifting' method was rare. The dimensional constraints of storing systems and the influence of the environment and load characteristics on handling strategies are described. As a conclusion, it is proposed that training in lifting skills should be replaced by training in manual handling in general, and by ergonomic improvements.
本文展示了对两个仓库货物搬运情况的研究结果。货物搬运主要采用背部弯曲和扭转姿势。所谓的“正确搬运”方法很少见。文中描述了存储系统的尺寸限制以及环境和货物特性对搬运策略的影响。作为结论,建议将提升技能培训总体上替换为一般手动搬运培训以及进行人体工程学改进。
