Federal OSHA Ergonomic Standard
– Promulgated November, 2000
– Congress repealed standard March, 2001 as part of Contract with America, the Congressional Review Act (1995),
For the Future– Same law (i.e. Congressional Review Act) if OSHA promulgates
another standard, the new standard can not be similar to the onethat congress nullified in 2001

– Develop Industry / Task Specific Voluntary Guidelines
– Enforcement - General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of OSHA Act
– National Advisory Committee (convened 2002-3)
– Outreach & Assistance

MANUAL LOADING AND UNLOADING OF PALLETS CONTINUES TO BE
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON AND MOST INJURY PRONE TASKS
IN INDUSTRY TODAY

These are automatic load leveling devices that maintain the top of the load in the 30 to 38” ergonomic window

Sitting or
standing a lift can
eliminate the
back bending to
associated with
pallet
loading/unloading
Portability allows the operator to bring the machine in close & eliminate walking around

Balancers can also be used to unload pallets and make positioning goods
at various locations within a machine or work
center
Notice the bi-directional work station crane
these trays of parts become virtually “weightless”

Lifts and positioners can also be fitted
with turntables for “near side” loading
As much as 40% of the time required
loading a pallet, can be spent walking
around it!
