7、) Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a
8、 technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matte
9、rs of electrotechnical standardization. The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This doc

ISO/TS 20646 cancels and replaces ISO/TS 20646-1:2004, of which it constitutes a technical revision. This corrected version of ISO/TS 20646:2014 incorporates the following correctio
14、ns: the title has been changed from Ergonomic procedures for the improvement of local muscular workloads to Ergonomics guidelines for the optimization of musculoskeletal workload.iv ISO 2014 All rights reserved ISO/TS 20646:2014(E) Introduction The onset of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, su
15、ch as low back pain and upper and lower limb disorders, is becoming a great ergonomic concern in both industrialised and industrialising countries. The high incidence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders is an important problem to be solved not only to improve workers health and the quality of
16、working life, but also to improve productivity. In order to solve the problem of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, it is important to work out primary preventive measures, through improving working conditions and providing adequate health guidance and training, as well as to establish measures
17、 for secondary prevention, treatment, and reassignment of the workers after a long sick leave. Above all, the establishment of primary preventive measures, mainly measures to improve musculoskeletal workloads (MSWL), are considered to be the most cost-effective solution and improve the quality of wo
18、rking life. Various activities to improve MSWL have already been promoted. In addition, regarding ISO/TC 159/SC 3, new standards are developed to improve working conditions relating to the factors causing MSWL. However, in order to improve MSWL, it is indispensable to take a comprehensive work-relat
19、ed perspective and find a solution, in consideration of the aforementioned factors. ISO 2014 All rights reserved v Ergonomics guidelines for the optimization of musculoskeletal workload 1 Scope This Technical Specification provides information and guidelines to properly utilize various ergonomics st
20、andards concerning the factors related to musculoskeletal workload (MSWL), and helps develop activities to reduce or optimize MSWL in workplaces and non-professional activities, in an effective and efficient manner. The activities are intended to be based on a risk assessment. This Technical Specifi
21、cation is intended primarily for employers, ergonomics and occupational health-related staff and workers in enterprises, and workers. Prevention of MSWL is not always a matter of reducing the load. The approach to reducing MSWL also involves assessing the work environment and organization as a syste
22、m to identify how changes can help to safely manage MSWL. Although this Technical Specification provides ideas of effective and efficient measures to reduce or optimize MSWL, it does not certify the complete prevention of health problems caused by MSWL. 2 T erms a nd definiti ons For the purposes of

SOURCE: ISO 11064-2 3 General guiding principles 3.1 Basic principles to im
28、prove MSWL Management should clarify in writing existing and predicted MSWL and possible health- and productivity-related problems, and publish improvement goals and targets, a basic schedule to achieve the targets, and the organization to implement the improvement (see Annex A). 3.2 Basic framework
29、 and responsibilities of MSWL-improvement activities 3.2.1 General As organizations draft, implement, and assess MSWL-reduction plans, organizations at the enterprise level and department level, and advisory organizations, should develop activities in a collaborative manner. The participation of wor
30、kers and/or their representatives is essential. 3.2.2 Enterprise level A structure to manage MSWL should be established at the enterprise level, either as part of existing management systems for work design or occupational safety and health, or as a specifically designated project activity. The owne
31、r or executive director with overall management authority should be responsible for the establishment and the conduct of this organization. 3.2.3 Department level This refers to an organization within an individual department, for which the departmental manager should be responsible. Its function is
32、 to draft, implement, and assess the improvement plans for the department.2 ISO 2014 All rights reserved ISO/TS 20646:2014(E) 3.2.4 Advisory level This refers to an organization offering advice concerning the validity of drafting, implementation, and assessment of improvement plans. The organization
33、 can be established inside or outside the enterprise. 3.3 Processes for MSWL risk assessment including implementation of risk reduction activity 3.3.1 General An MSWL risk reduction plan should not be limited to a few specific factors causing loads. It should be based on MSWL risk assessment in the
34、workplace. On the basis of comprehensive risk assessment using this multi-factorial analysis, specific action targets should be set to eliminate or reduce unacceptable risks. Basic processes in achieving this target(s) are given in 3.3.1 to 3.3.4 (see ISO 12100). 3.3.2 Risk assessment 3.3.2.1 Genera
35、l To study necessary activities to reduce the risks of MSWL, risk assessment should be implemented. This includes a risk analysis with work description, hazard identification, and risk estimation as well as a risk evaluation. Priority risks should be addressed immediately, so as to reduce risks or r
36、einforce the ongoing measures. 3.3.2.2 Specification of w or k situation To study the characteristics of work, the following items should be described: a) production process, contents of work, and tasks to be performed at the workplace; b) statistics on occupational accidents, incidence of work-rela
37、ted diseases and other diseases, sick leave, etc.; c) work organization and shift systems; d) work hours per day, week, month, or year; e) operating time per day, continuous operating time, and a rest system; f) characteristics of the workers, such as body size, muscle strength, history of injuries
38、and diseases affecting work, work experience, vocational education and training, and age; g) characteristics of the work, such as static workload, physical inactivity, repetitive work, and manual handling. 3.3.2.3 Hazar d identifica tion The following factors are the main hazards for MSWL (see Annex
39、 B). They are divided into six sections. 3.3.2.3.1 Checklist section 1 Work hours and work concentrations a) long working shifts more than 8 h a day b) frequent and long overtime work c) long continuous operating time d) insufficient rest breaks e) insufficient days off ISO 2014 All rights reserved

49、sible preventive measures for risk reduction, the following factors should be considered: results of the risk analysis; ease of implementation of the risk reduction plan; effect of the improvement after reducing the risk; number of workers who will benefit; cost-efficiency of the plan. Use of an action-oriented checklist is recommended to perform risk analysis, and to get hints for improvement (see Annex C). The recommended procedure for using the checklist is as follows. a) Organize a group to implement a checklist
