Question: the worker shown below is grinding down the sharp metal edges resulting from punching out the metal frame for HP printers. The printer weighs 15

the worker shown below is grinding down the sharp metal edges resulting from punching out the metal frame for HP printers. The printer weighs 15 lbs and the standard time for her job is 0.2 min. Assuming the worker takes a 20-minute lunch, gets two 15-min breaks in the day, and that there are 6 hand motions per cycle for this operation, how many hand monitors will this worker have per day? What would be the frequency factor for this operation? Assuming the worker has shoulder abduction (<45 degrees), is standing, has to tilt their head down (<45 degrees), and uses a pulp-pinch grip for the grinder, what would be the posture factor for this task? What would be the miscellaneous factor be for this operation (notice the sharp metal edges and vibration from the grinder during this intermittent operation). Assuming a force factor of 0.66, what would be the CTD risk index for this operation?
