◉ Most states require employers with ________ employees to maintain
workers' compensation insurance or be self-insured.. Answer: five or
more
◉ The first state to pass a workers' compensation law was __________,
which enacted a law in ____.. Answer: Wisconsin, 1911
,◉ By ______, all 48 states and two territories (Alaska and Hawaii) had
enacted workers' compensation laws.. Answer: 1948
◉ A ___________________________ can be one of the most effective tools in
reducing workers' compensation premiums and experience
modification rates.. Answer: return-to-work/light duty program
◉ Formula to calculate EMR. Answer: EMR = Adjusted Actual Loss +
Ballast/Expected Losses + Ballast
◉ SECTION: ERGONOMICS. Answer:
◉ Recommended Weight Limit. Answer: -the primary product in the
NIOSH lifting equation
-defined for a specific set of task conditions as the weight of the load
that nearly all healthy workers could perform over a substantial
period (e.g., up to 8 h) without an increased risk of developing
lifting-related low back pain or injury.
◉ Lifting Index. Answer: provides a relative estimate of the level of
physical stress associated with a particular manual lifting task
, ◉ Lifting Frequency. Answer: Average number of lifts per minute
over a 15-min
period
◉ NIOSH Lifting Equation. Answer: RWL = LC × HM × VM × DM × AM
× FM × CM
◉ Acronyms in NIOSH Lifting Equation. Answer: RWL -
Recommended weight limit
LC - Load constant
HM - horizontal multiplier
VM - vertical multiplier
DM - distance multiplier
AM - asymmetric multiplier
FM - frequency multiplier
CM - coupling multiplier
◉ Define Significant Control. Answer: A condition requiring
precision placement of the load at the destination of the lift
◉ Coupling classifications. Answer: good, fair, or poor
