EAWS method
The EAWS method was developed in Germany at the University of Darmstadt in order to materialize international standards for manual handling of loads (EN1005 and ISO 11228).
It is of workplace assessment that combines all aspects of manual load handling. It is a combination of posture, strength, weight and repetition.
The EAWS method ( Ergonomic Assessment Worksheet) is originally an extension of the Automotive Assembly Worksheet (AAWS) developed by IAD based on the “New Production Worksheet”, launched in 1997 by General Motor Europe (GME), and the “designCheck ”, produced simultaneously at Porsche. The development of the EAWS was carried out between 2006 and 2008 by international experts in occupational health, biomechanical engineering and industrial engineering from around the world, coordinated by the IMD (International MTM directorate).
It is a holistic system (covering all risk areas) that provides detailed results in four sections:
This method was developed from the automotive industry, where one works with defined cycle times.
