Event Description: |
This 2-day course provides hands on and didactic training on the Revised Strain Index and Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation. Applications for surveillance, risk assessment, job analysis, and job design/intervention will be explored. Participants will learn how to collect data and calculate the simple, cumulative, and composite SI/LI scores for both simple and complex tasks, and for job rotation. Collecting, quantifying, and interpreting data will be practiced in a hands-on technique lab, with a maximum 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio.

Objectives:
At the completion of this activity, the learner will be able to:
- Describe the components of the revised strain index and the revised NIOSH Lift Equation
- Demonstrate ability to consistently collect measurements/data as inputs to the RSI & LI
- Calculate the simple, cumulative, and composite indices (RSI & LI)
- Use a problem based approach to applying the RSI and LI to surveillance, risk assessment, job analysis, and job intervention/design
