| Content | Problem Employees involved in baggage handling tasks at airports are subject to high levels of stress. The large number of load handling operations and the weight of the baggage items lead to strain upon the musculoskeletal system, particularly the back. In addition, ramp agents must load and unload the low baggage compartments of narrow-body aircraft in a kneeling posture. Various international studies have examined these stresses and the scope for reducing them. Workplaces in the bag- gage compartments of narrow-body aircraft were described by 70% of those questioned in the studies as involving high levels of stress. Activities In the context of the TAQP project (a systematic action plan for productivity and health; the German acronym TAQP stands for technological innova- tion, work organization, training and prevention), two new engineered systems have been intro- duced for airport use: three vacuum lifters in the baggage handling centre, and eight rollertrack conveyors on the airport ramp. The project is being conducted jointly by Fraport AG and the DGUV. The IFA studied the reduction in stress achieved by the new systems. For this purpose, baggage handling personnel were studied by means of the CUELA measurement system developed within Ramp agent with CUELA measurement system the IFA. The measurement system is worn on the workers clothing, and records all ergonomically relevant body movements and load manipulations. It was used to determine the stresses upon ten baggage handlers at the technically modified workplaces and at the existing, unmodified work- places. The results were then compared. In addition, the stresses upon 13 ramp agents were measured during 15 loading and unloading operations, during which a total of 719 items of baggage were loaded and 848 items unloaded.
