Explanation:
The main risk factors for repetitive motion injuries (RMIs) in housekeeping are:
heavy physical workload and excessive bodily motions which are a high risk for back injuries
forceful upper limb motions in awkward positions which are a high risk for neck or shoulder and arm injuries
Space limitations require workers to use many uncomfortable postures. These are:
standing or walking
stooping
squatting
kneeling
stretching
reaching
bending
twisting
crouching
A housekeeper changes body position every three seconds while cleaning a room. If we assume that the average cleaning time for each room is twenty-five minutes, we can estimate that a housekeeper assumes 8,000 different body postures every shift.
In addition, forceful movements while using awkward body positions include lifting mattresses, cleaning tiles, and vacuuming every shift. Housekeeping is a physically demanding and very tiring job. It can be classified as "moderately heavy" to "heavy" work because the energy required is approximately 4 kilocalories per minute (4kcal/min).
