Eliminate the guesswork when determining an individual’s weight lifting limits with BakPak & ArmPak
BakPak/ArmPak
The BakPak software package has been designed to provide the user with a simple method for obtaining answers to questions regarding acceptable loads for a wide variety of manual materials handling conditions.
Often, those who lift heavy loads as part of their jobs are not experts in ergonomics and they cannot resolve the inconsistencies in a reliable way. This can lead to errors that either reduce the productivity of a job or increase the risk of injury.
Myergo uses an intelligent software package that interprets the results of heavy lift analysis (especially inconsistencies) for the user and provides recommendations with a rationale for the decision that was made.
The BakPak software package has been developed to:
- Eliminate the variability in input parameters
- Make it very easy for the ergonomist to use and interpret
- Maintain the accuracy that previously required the use of 5 different methods with numerous input parameters.
Advantages of the BakPak Software Package
Software currently available requires substantial education and experience for proper use. The BAKPAK software requires only the National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOHS) inputs, which most ergonomists are already familiar with.
The package integrates the most current literature regarding the validity of each of the methods used. This information is used to recommend the most appropriate safe load.
The computer model has been developed to provide suggestions for the components of each task. The model will tell you where modifications will reduce injuries.
Easy to Understand
Animations Included
A stick figure will go through the full range of movement in 10% increments from the start to the end. In each position the worst case of likely trunk flexion angles is indicated.
The speed can be altered or stopped. The values on the top indicate the acceptable load based on compression force for that posture.
