title: [Logistic manual handling within an airport].
abstract: This paper presents the results obtained in job evaluation of an organization working in the airport logistics. The sector is characterized by different activities that determine many types of musculoskeletal disorder and is marked by lack of knowledge of the accident prevention and health conditions at work. To analyze the workstations we have used video recordings, photographs and test through a dynamometer to determine the force applied during the pushing and pulling phase. In a lot of workstations were unacceptable NIOSH index due to a range of factors such as incorrect conformation of the workstations, the frequency and weight of loads handled, the heights of picking and unloading. Design solution have been studied and verified to reduce or eliminate the problems.
