Ergonomic Design of Porter’s Load Bearing Device Using Digital Human Modeling

  • Harish Kumar Sharma

Abstract

This paper expects to recognize the problems arising load lifting by a porter and application of DHMs to give a solution with low risk factors .Author designed a Load bearing device for helping porter at railroad stations considering ergonomic factors usingdigital human modeling (DHM).To assist the design advanced simulation CAD software CATIA-V5 is used for assessment of ergonomic factors examination to evaluate the potential harm possibilities, thinking about difference among using and not using the help gadget. The task of the porter is carrying heavy loads manually. So as to carry load the subject needs to twist his body parts which might be liable to different injuries. Motivation behind assessment was improvement to conveying and to recognize risk that could achieve physical harm in a genuine work environment. Outcomes recommend, utilizing the proposed model can diminish injury hazard conceivably and increment load conveying limit.
