Performed a detailed assessment of baggage handling activities in response to an OSHA citation at a hub. The evaluation of the various handling conditions, planeside, in the pit, piers and off-loading conveyors were analyzed with respect to low back biomechanical loading as well as muscle activity analysis of the upper and lower extremities utilizing motion capture (MOCAP) system and surface EMG.

Perform analysis of electrical pole climbing with spurs while performing traditional high wire activities to determine plantar loading using insole force sensors. Perform an analysis of wheelchair ramp handling and storage at various platform locations.

Perform analysis of postural and physical biomechanical demands related to coach cleaning and seat design characteristics.

Perform workplace assessments relative to manual material handling activities, postural demands and biomechanical loading for various crafts within the organization.

Review documents, conduct site visits and prepare reports relative to litigation for various railroad crafts and FELA claims.

Review documents, conduct site visits and prepare reports relative to litigation.

Investigate the loads on the shoulders relative to a single strap satchel versus a dual strap satchel with a waist belt. Investigate the lower extremity and physiological demands of delivering mail with a cart versus a dual satchel in a return to work environment. Investigate how handling and reading mail affect the ability to recognize slip/trip/fall hazards on route as well as the severity of the type of slip. These studies utilized heart rate monitors, surface EMG, eye tracking, as well as tribology related measurements.

Conduct biomechanical assessment of lifting track equipment. Conduct ergonomic assessment of seating and cab environment for track equipment. Conduct whole body vibration assessment of track equipment.
