Repetitive Strain

Lifting of heavy products and machinery’s is one of the major causes of injury in the working place or station. One of the incidents which took place in 2001, the Bureau of labor statics reported that over 28-35 percentage of disaster injuries were shoulder & back injuries. • Musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs) to arms, legs and joints and repetitive strain injuries of various sorts. • Overexertion. • Cumulative trauma. The above stated problems are the biggest factors in the injuries, which are noticed in labours while lifting and moving of heavy parts or machineries. • For detailed & more information about the injuries caused during lifting of heavy parts is mentioned in the site which is in bibliography. When an employee makes use of smart lifting practices, which are in means of mechanical gears or elements and electronics configuration which makes ease to lift any heavy products or machineries.

Repetitive Strain

A new, ultra-small, light-activated microtransponder ("p-Chip") has been integrated into the heads of entomological pins toimprove efficiency in collections management and research through radio frequency identification (RFID) of insect specimens.These specimens are typically small, fragile, numerous and especially difficult to track. Globally, the majority are not currentlyrecorded in any database. The application of unique identifiers has previously proven time consuming and difficult. Permanentand integral to the specimen, each p-Chip transmits a unique serial number allowing tracking without contact and reducing therisk of damage to specimens and repetitive strain injuries (RSI) in curators. The p-Chips and the specimens they tag can belinked immediately to biodiversity web services and collections databases. Specimens can be rapidly assigned to groupings asthey are sorted and their taxonomic identity refined; and accurately tracked through high throughput methods and analyses.Quite importantly, with the p-Chips, the profile of the pin head is unchanged, and there is no discernible tactile difference fromstandard entomological pins. We also describe how p-Chips can be retro-fitted to provide complete compendia of legacy samples.

Repetitive Strain

The prevalence of symptoms of the neck, shoulders and arms of any duration and severity, indicated by RSI, was investigated in female workers of 3 different agricultural branches. RSI prevalence varied from 22% in pig farming to 61–65% in mushroom and flowering culture. Physical workload factors that are known to be risk factors for RSI were different for the 3 groups. The groups also differed with respect to psychosocial workload and personal risk factors, but these differences were less pronounced. The combined data of the 3 groups were analysed. Each of the risk factors on a one-by-one basis correlated with the prevalence of symptoms. Multivariate analysis demonstrated only the physical load factors ‘repetitive movements with hands, arms or neck’, ‘prolonged static activity of hands, arms or neck‘, and ‘force exertion by hands or arms’ correlated significantly and positively with the prevalence of RSI. Model predictions showed a linear relation between the probability of having RSI and subgroups of increasing repetitiveness. The predictions appeared to correspond fairly well with the actual prevalence of RSI in these subgroups. An increase in repetitiveness in combination with an increase in force was shown to result in a disproportional increase in probability of having RSI, except for the highest group of repetitiveness. It is concluded that physical workload factors dominate in the relation between work and RSI in agriculture if multiple branches are considered simultaneously. Given the limitation of only 3 branches included yet and only women involved, it is stated that both research and prevention strategies should be directed towards modifying combined physical workload.
