Hearing in warehouse worker safety starting. Info on a hazards at #Amazon and elsewhere.
From Chairwoman @RepAdams : Serious injury rate for workers at #Amazon warehouses was more than double the rate at non-Amazon warehouses. 60 hour/week backbreaking work & mandatory overtime.
Also major problems with temporary workers who receive less training and protections. Sister of temp worker killed in warehouse will testify.
Occupational #wearables for monitoring low back load have potential to improve ergonomic assessments & enable personalized, continuous monitoring of overexertion injury risk in the workplace.

We wanted to know: if we can only use a small number of wearable sensors to monitor low back loading, then which sensors should we use, where should we place them, what type of algorithm should we employ, & how accurately can we monitor back loading during material handling?

To address this we synchronously collected data from the #biomechanics lab & from #wearables to analyze 10 individuals each performing 400 different material handling tasks. We explored dozens of candidate solutions that used IMUs on various body locations & pressure insoles.
