Abstract

The purpose of this study was to reduce the chronical low back pain for the manual material handlers. The objectives of this study was to: (1) examine lifting variables, (2) analyze collected data, and (3) suggest lifting redesign recommendations in workplace. The data were collected in A company, manufactures various paints in Si-Wha industrial complex, Kyunggi-Do. It was found that Sb(horizontal distance), Sc(vertical distance), 54(travelling distance) and Sf(frequency) were significant at the 0.01 level and Sa(weight) was significant at the 0.05 level.
