From time to time we will add downloadable programs, as well as other tools, which may be of some
interest or usefulness (time permitting).
Ergonomics
Many businesses need to institute formal evaluation of ergonomically demanding jobs, including lifting jobs. The NIOSH Lifting Equation is a useful tool, but is complicated to use for multitask jobs. Our simple to use shareware program, HeavyLiftingII, will do the mathematical "heavy lifting" for you, resulting in quick and easy analysis of lifting jobs. Further details are available at HeavyLiftingII.
Relative values for job task ergonomics can also be estimated using a simple interactive web page based calculator (Internet Explorer only for the time being).
For more quantitative assessment of jobs which present a possible risk of distal upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders, see StrainAnalysis.
