Time: 12 to 3pm ET
Presenter: Jim Potvin, PhD, CCPE
Last day to register: March 28 March 30
By popular demand, Dr. Potvin will be doing a deeper dive into tools he has discussed in previous ACE webinars and introduce some new tools. Please review the prerequisite to get the most out of this workshop.
The focus of this workshop is:
- Recent tools to assess manual materials handling tasks integrating biomechanical, psychophysical and physiological criteria.
- To provide practical experience with
- the new Liberty Mutual Manual Materials Handling (LM-MMH) Equations
- methods to assess peak and cumulative lumbar compression forces
- the Dempsey Equations for calculating metabolic cost
- How to integrate the results from these tools to make a final decision on task acceptability.
Prerequisite
In the recording above, Dr. Potvin made reference to his cloud drive.
