| Abstract | Manual baggage handling at aircraft container loading cannot be avoided. Over 80% of the baggage will be heavier than ergonomic guidelines indicate as safe, thus posing occupational health risks. The HF challenge is to find engineering solutions to reduce the manual workload on an individual level. Automation is relatively costly and may not be effective, if the number of baggage handlers is reduced also. Hence, more innovative approaches are needed. A leading baggage handling systems manufacturer took the challenge to engineer for reduced workloads. The engineering process, the human factors input, as well as an overview of the results is presented in this paper. |
