Date: Thursday, April 28, 2022
Time: 12 to 3pm ET
Presenter: Jim Potvin, PhD, CCPE
Last day to register: April 22
By popular demand, Dr. Potvin has agreed to do a deeper dive into tools that have been discussed in previous ACE webinars and introduce some new tools. Please review the prerequisites to get the most out of this workshop.
The focus of this workshop is:
- Recent advancements for the quantitative evaluation of upper extremity task demands.
- To provide practical experience with
- the Arm Force Field (AFF) method for estimating manual arm strength
- a new tool for work above the shoulder
- the Maximum Acceptable Effort (MAE) equation
- the ACGIH TLV for Localized Fatigue
- the Recommended Cumulative Recovery Allowance (RCRA) tool for evaluating the cumulative effect of multiple subtasks placing demands on the upper extremities
Prerequisites
RCRA Recommended Cumulative Recovery Allowance, Murray Gibson, May 21, 2020
The New ACGIH Upper Limb Localized Fatigue TLV, David Rempel, January 25, 2017
OPTIONAL: The tools that Dr. Potvin will be discussing, and relevant papers are available from his cloud drive. You don’t need to look at this before the workshop.
