Risk Factors Associated with Lifting and Moving Materials. •Risk factors are characteristics of the job or task that increase the risk or chance of sustaining a low back injury. The more risk factors that are present on the job, the greater the employee’s risk of back injury. With lifting injuries, one of the most obvious risk factors is the weight of the object. Heavier objects require more muscle force to stabilize the trunk and produce greater compressive forces on the spine. Heavier objects are also more hazardous to handle for the following reasons:

Heavier objects require more strength to handle which limits the number of employees who can safely handle them.

When an object is too heavy for an employee to easily move, he/she may attempt to force the object to move by assuming an awkward posture or using momentum to jerk or twist. Abruptly twisting the back while lifting or quickly accelerating objects produces even larger forces on the spine, and greatly increases the risk of muscle and ligament strains and sprains as well as wear and tear on the discs.

Heavier objects require more energy to handle and can cause early whole-body and muscle fatigue. As an employee becomes fatigued, he/she will be more likely to make errors, use improper lifting

Risk Factors and Risk Reduction

– This section provides some examples of common risk factors that are associated with various work processes.

– Examples of ways to reduce or eliminate the risks are also presented. The guide may best be used by an individual or committee designated to conduct a survey of the workplace.

– The surveyors can use the guide in two ways. They may use the risk factors to determine whether the same risk factors exist at their work site. Once the risk factors are identified, one or more of the corresponding control examples may be adapted.

– Another way is to look through the examples and identify similar work processes. When adapting control methods, be careful not to create another risk factor!

Rough sketch/Design/Idea

Project 2:“Mechanical PorterMechanical Porter”

Mechanical Porter

• This machine is as same as the luggage trolley with slight modifications.• The main objective of mechanical porter is to provide some sort of

relaxation.• The applications has wide range of usage at homes, Departmental stores

and libraries as well.• Lifting the luggage IN/OUT of trolley is more troublesome for the lady

passengers, senior citizens and physically challenged people, especially when they travel alone. Likewise the house wives at homes depending others to lift and carry gas cylinders(30Kg) and water bottle(20 lt) and other heavy domestic things.

Current Model

Drawbacks of Mechanical Porter•Too much of paddling.•After reaching the top, it shakes, which brings trouble for the user.•It becomes to heavy and bulky to be shifted from one place to another.•It lacks its main objective that makes it difficult to Use.
