FEASIBLE ABATEMENT MEASURES
Stressor(s) associated with items 63 through 68 of this citation include
(1) repeated reaching, bending and stooping while transferring
ingredients, (2) repeated bending while scooping ingredients, (3)
deviation of the wrist while employees scoop ingredients.
Stressor(s) associated with items 69 through 105 include (1) repeated
reaching above shoulder height and bending and stooping while carrying
the pans with both hands to load/unload the pan racks, (2) repeated
bending and/or stooping while carrying pans with both hands from dolly
carts to the conveyor line(s), and rolling pin forces on hands.
Stressor(s) associated with items 106 through 133 include (1) repeated
reaching above shoulder height and bending and stooping when plastic
trays, containing packaged bakery product, are stacked and (2) repeated
twisting, reaching and bending over conveyors when employees place
bakery products into packaging and when packaged bakery products are
placed into plastic trays.
A feasible program for the reduction of workers cumulative trauma and
musculoskeletal disorders includes the following items:
1) Identify employee(s) experiencing symptoms associated with cumulative
trauma and musculoskeletal disorders.
2) Conduct an ergonomic assessment to identify stressors.
3) Implementation of control measures for reducing job stressors.
a) Install gravity-feed bulk hoppers to contain and/or measure-out
dry ingredients. Use of hoppers can eliminate scooping of dry
ingredients which is causing stress to the musculoskeletal
system. (Applies to Items 63 through 68).
b) Modify and/or redesign scale(s) and scaling racks to provide for
flush transfer, or push, of weighed ingredients from scale to
rack(s). (Applies to Items 63 through 68).
c) Adjust the height of scale(s) to prevent employees from bending
while weighing dry ingredients. (Applies to Items 63 though 68).
d) Redesign scoop handle to eliminate ulnar deviation when employees
scoop raw ingredients. (Applies to Items 63 through 68).
e) Provide mechanical devices to load pans from dolly carts onto
conveyors. (Applies to Items 69 through 105).
f) Provide automatic leveling devices to eliminate repeated employee
bending and twisting motion(s) when loading pans onto and off
conveyor(s). (Applies to Items 69 through 105).
g) Provide for the use of pan racks that are designed to limit
employees reaching above shoulder height and bending over when
employees load pans onto the rack(s). (Applies to Items 69 through
105).
h) Provide for the use of lightweight pans racks, such as aluminum
with low friction wheels, to eliminate the strain to employees
shoulders and arms when moving the racks. (Applies to Items 69
through 105).
i) Redesign of operation to eliminate employees reaching and bending
over conveyors. (Applies to Items 106 through 133).
j) Limit the height to which employees must stack plastic trays
filled with packaged product. (Applies to Items 106 through 133).
k) Automate packaging of products, such as GT rolls. (Applies to
Items 106 through 133).
4) Implementation of an education and training program to make employees
aware of the types of movements and postures which may cause
cumulative trauma and musculoskeletal disorders. Concerted efforts
should be made in identifying and eliminating obstacles which would
prevent, or otherwise deter, employees with symptoms from reporting
them.
5) Implementation of medical surveillance and treatment program for
employees exposed to cumulative trauma and/or musculoskeletal
disorders. The program should contain the following elements and be
reading accessible to all exposed employees:
a) Pre-employment medical examinations pertinent to medial nerve
distribution and muscular aberations, wrist flex test,
electromyelogram (nerve conduction test);
b) Detailed medical examinations and counseling of employees should
be conducted as soon as symptoms generally associated with
cumulative trauma and musculoskeletal disorders are reported.
Conservative treatment measures should be developed and
implemented upon detection of early symptoms. The use of
prescription medication(s) should be prescribed with care and only
after consideration of adverse health effects. Employees should be
advised of the adverse health affects associated with prescribed
drugs and/or medical treatment/therapy.
c) Employees on restricted work activities should be assigned jobs
which will not aggravate their medical condition.
d) Follow-up of complaints and/or cases related to cumulative trauma
and/or musculoskseletal disorders should be conducted to ensure
that medical treatment and/or job changes have been effective.
