About
This intern will work on a project evaluating the impact of line speed on biomechanical exposure and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The intern will be able to analyze videos, electromyography, and electro-goniometer data of workers working during separate weeks when the plant is running at 1106 versus 1400hph. The intern will also be able to organize and analyze some of the survey data. As appropriate, the student will also have the opportunity (though not mandatory) to assist with data collection at a swine processing plant. This is an interdisciplinary team of ergonomists, industrial hygienists, and occupational medicine physicians working together to answer questions posed by the USDA; the results may impact policies on the continuation of the line speed waivers.
