Materials Handling & Workplace Safety

The purpose of this research study was to determine the policy approach that will optimize the effectiveness of such efforts. The rationale upon which this research was conducted held that management, labor, health, and legal perspectives must be developed into a consensus as to the most appropriate approach to the problem. An assumption was made that the most effective solutions to the problem would be those that all stakeholders support.

The research approach in this study was evaluational in character. Alternative approaches to the development and implementation of ergonomic innovations to address work injury risks associated with materials handling were evaluated by representatives of the major stakeholder groups associated with the issue. The research question investigated was as follows: Will the most effective ergonomic responses to materials handling worker injury risks be developed (1) when such action and minimum outcomes are codified into federal law, or (2) when such action and minimum outcomes are left to the discretion of individual companies?

A sample was selected for this research study through the application of random procedures. Representatives from management, labor, health, and law were included in the research sample.

ANOVA was the statistical procedure applied in the conduct of this research study. Quantitative assessments (dependent variables) were compared on the basis of dichotomous classifications (independent variables). Statistical significance was established at p<.05.

Data to evaluate the research question investigated were collected through the administration of a survey questionnaire that measured perceptions of the members of the research sample in relation to (1) the most effective role of government in the management of work place safety, and (2) the most effective approach to the development of ergonomic innovations to promote work place safety related to materials handing activi...
