| Abstract |
This report is an update of an earlier review for ramp-based baggage handling related literature undertaken in 2005. The aim of this review is to present information relating to alternative methods of loading narrow-bodied aircraft that reduce the manual handling related injury and ill-health risks to the handlers, and to identify knowledge gaps. This was used to inform subsequent work on the prevention of musculoskeletal diseases at an airport in the United Kingdom (East Midlands Airport, see ISN 111996, RR675). |
