ACGIH method for ergonomically assessing hand and arm activity. Considers frequency and level of effort by employees in hand/arm activities. Can document existing conditions or assess a proposed task. Compares a task’s frequency and level of effort to the Action Limit and TLV for the activity.
Detailed Overview:
Prolonged exposure to vibration on the job is the
leading cause of Hand/Arm injuries in the work place.
Currently Hand/Arm injuries due to vibrations are ranked
as the 3rd largest source of workers compensation payouts
in the UK and a growing concern in the US, EU and Pacific
Rim. Methods to monitor and mitigate this type of
injury should be one of the major concerns for industrial
hygienists of today not only for workers health concerns
but also because governmental regulatory agencies have
renewed their efforts to monitor these threats in the
workplace. DataPipe's Hand/Arm Activity module will help
manage your employee data on these types of issues in the
work place.
