Abstract

Ergonomic studies related to commercial aviation have focused on improvements related to drivers’ commands and cockpit. However, a small number of studies are devoted to the ground manual transport related to the airplane cargo hold. This study aimed to analyze the biomechanical overload in manual load lifting tasks among ramp operators of commercial airplanes through the application of NIOSH and RULA methods. Two cases involving luggage loading and unloading activities were observed. Data collection was performed with a ramp operator, which photos and filming of activities and workplace during passenger boarding and disembarking of passengers. The biomechanical factors observed and analyzed in this study, with the application of NIOSH and RULA methods, allowed generating values that indicated that luggage loading and unloading activities bring high biomechanical risk for both the manual load lifting activity and for the postures used during luggage handling, which may cause health problems to ramp operators.

商用飞机货舱行李搬运分析——以工效学为例

与商业航空相关的人体工程学研究主要集中在驾驶员指挥和驾驶舱方面的改进。然而，对与飞机货舱有关的地面人工运输的研究较少。本研究旨在应用NIOSH和RULA方法，分析商用飞机停机坪操作员手动升降任务中的生物力学超载。观察到两例涉及行李装卸活动。数据收集工作由一名坡道操作员进行，该操作员在乘客上下飞机时拍摄和拍摄乘客的活动和工作场所。本研究中观察和分析的生物力学因素，应用NIOSH和RULA方法，得出的值表明，行李装卸活动对手动负载搬运活动和行李搬运过程中使用的姿势都带来了很高的生物力学风险，这可能会对坡道操作员造成健康问题。
