Abstract:A comparison in terms of the maximum frequency of movement allowed in the no-risk area, when varying the force and the duty cycle, was made among the follows methods: Strain Index (SI), Revised Strain Index (RSI), Occupational Repetitive Action (OCRA) Index and ACGIH (TLV). The RSI provides similar results to the OCRA Index and ACGIH(TLV) in less than 1/3 of the overall pre-set combinations of force (BS) and duty cycle (DC). Some of the highlights are as follows: the ACGIH (TLV) method allows 6 exertions per s… Show more
