The NIOSH equation has helped with predicting the risk of getting injured while lifting things. The NIOSH equation helps determine what a weight should be for a lift for different tasks that people do over there shift. The NIOSH equation is very important because back injuries are the most common injury at work. The lower back area on people is the area where most people tend to hurt while lifting items. The way the NIOSH equation works it helps determine a recommended weight for a specific task (RWL) that a person would accomplish during their normal workday which consists to be an 8 hour work day. The NIOSH equation for RWL is determined by the equation RWL=LC x HM x VM x DM x AM x FM x CM. The equation is based on six different areas. The six different acronyms mean: LC = How much an object weighs, HM = the horizontal distance of a person’s hands to what would be the midpoint of their ankles, VM = is the distance between your hands to the floor when your hands are vertical, DM = is the vertical distance between where the lift starts to the final placement of the lift, AM = Angle of asymmetry, FM = Average rate of lifts done per minute and CM = is a …show more content…
The second way would be that the LI is used to calculate roughly how much physical stress can be expected from a job task and what the injury risks are for performing the job tasks with that lifting procedure. The rule of thumb for again is that if the LI value is smaller a person performing the job has a better chance of performing there tasks for their job safely without hurting there back. It’s also a good rule of thumb to compare at least two preferably more designs for the same task. The last way is that the LI should be used to set priorities for tasks that need to be relooked at for better ways to lift objects. The tasks should be rated and given a priority on how sever the task to help determine which task should be looked at
3.3 It is vital you identify any immediate risks to the individual to ensure they are 100% safe and can be moved completely safely. For example if the sling for the hoist has a loop that is used to keep them positioned correctly and safely and the loop has ripped then that sling MUST NOT be used. You would identify this risk immediately when ensuring everything is hazard free before starting the moving, handling and positioning.
The distance from the elbow to the tip of the hand is a quarter of the height of the man
There are two main class levers being used during the lift. The 3rd Class lever is being used towards the lower part of the back since the athlete is bending over. The fulcrum is the lower part of the back, while the MAF is the shoulder area and the MRF is the barbell itself. The barbell is causing resistance in the opposite direction of the lift. Another lever that is being used is the 1st Class lever. This lever is being used twice in this lift. The first time is in the arms, the elbows are the fulcrum while the shoulder areas are the MAF and the barbell is the MRF. This structure also applies in the legs. The knees are
Like Maus, Noelle Stevenson’s Nimona also explores themes of othering and alienation; however, whereas Maus depicts a true story of the Holocaust, Nimona instead explores these themes through a fantasy story of heroes, villains, and monsters. In Nimona the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics acts in a way similar to the Nazi government in Maus by splitting people into a binary of virtuous heroes and evil villains, typically based on their person’s physical appearance. For example, the primary antagonist of the novel, Ballister Blackheart, is made into a villain by the Institution when he loses his arm in a rigged jousting tournament, and Nimona is labeled a monster because of her shapeshifting powers. In the world of Nimona, morality and monstrosity are “never an intrinsic qualit[ies],’ but rather ‘narrative[s] imposed on certain appearances or behaviors at particular times in specific social contexts’” (Precup, 3).
Analysis of Political Anti-Semitism in Interwar Germany and Poland," writer William Hagen proposes that in the pre-World War II political anti-Semitism, Germany and Poland shared interests in advancing and modernizing Christian middle-class elements in the industrial-capitalist order at the cost of a Jewish population. Hagen states the liberal interwar economy crisis allowed the role of a totalitarian state became a tool for spreading anti-Semitism in Germany. However, Hagen argues that central and eastern European Jews faced the threat of extermination before anti-Semitism spread in Germany. According to Hagen, the structural crisis between Jewish communities and modernizing
Also to protect people during the lifting, carrying and moving of equipment or children, often those with disabilities, with the aim of preventing injury such as sprains and strains. It aims to inform people with the necessary information through policy and procedure , for example, knowing the safe weights to be lifted and when two people are required to lift etc,.
3.3 It is important to check the person, equipment and environment before moving and positioning individuals to identify any possible risks. You should consider if the person is still able to cooperate with the activity and that all equipment is clean and safe. Other things to consider could include; is the person’s footwear suitable and are there any obstacles on the floor. When positioning people who are unable to move themselves, it is important to check their pressure areas as poor positioning techniques can cause pressure areas to develop.
For example if a service user wants to go swimming then you must assess how you’re going to get the service user into the water this could be by a hoist, you must then assess if there are any hazards or risks of doing this task, then if you do find a hazard then you must think of different ways of how you can reduce the risk of it.

There once was 2 brothers named, Ramzi the god of lightning and Nizer the god of magma/rocks. Ramzi was a man of kindness and full of honesty. The same cannot be said for Nizer, he was an evil man and also a thief. Nizer loved to see people suffering and be in pain from the hideous things he had done to them. Nizer and Ramzi would also get into fights because of the evil jobs of Nizer.
Turcois Ominek once said, “The worst battle you will ever have to fight is between what you feel and what you know.” This is true in Cold Equations, a short story by Tom Godwin. In the story, an Emergency Dispatch Ship (EDS) pilot, Barton, is faced with a choice when he finds a young stowaway named Marilyn. He must follow the rules he has learned, even when it doesn’t seem right in the situation. Barton realizes that sometimes in life there are hard choices, and the desired choice is not always able to be chosen.
Heavy Lifting – Lifting heavy boxes is common task. The simple act of lifting a box to stock new product may result in pulled muscles, slipped disc, shoulder strain, or sever permanent injury that can affect an employee for life.
This research study utilizes the SLS test, TUG test, and the norms for each test. Participants will use a chair with armrests for the TUG test and both tests will use a timer. This study will also use a chart of norms for each test to interpret the data.
Women have gained respect, worked their way to demolishing patriarchy, and have conquered in achieving a worthy opinion of their genders. In the taming of the Shrew, William Shakespeare expresses the Elizabethan views of oppressive gender roles and the expectations of the submissive behavior of women. This play is about a man named Petruchio who is trying to tame a “shrew” Katharina .The play is misogynistic, which is apparent through the constant need for Petruchio to tame the shrew, Katherina, women’s dependence on men, and the ownership of women in the play. The leaps made by women towards equal rights and freedoms currently are evident through how poorly the women are treated in the play the taming of the shrew.
