Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents ).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.

Introduction

According to ISO 11228-1:

“Disorders of the musculoskeletal system are common worldwide and one of the most frequent disorders in occupational health. Factors such as the size and mass of the object being handled, working posture, and the frequency and duration of manual handling can, alone or in combination, lead to a hazardous handling activity and generate the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.”

This document specifies the workstation ergonomic design requirements of handling personnel for baggage checked-in by airline passengers to be carried into aircraft cargo holds, in order to:

• contribute to improving work conditions for baggage handling agents and reducing the incidence of musculo-skeletal disorders (MSD) in this population;
• facilitate enhancing the overall efficiency of baggage handling.

Throughout this document, the minimum essential requirements are identified by use of the keyword “shall”. Recommendations are identified by use of the keyword “should” and, while not mandatory, are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe and efficient baggage handling. Any deviation from the recommendations should only occur after careful consideration and thorough service assessment have shown alternate methods provide an equivalent level of work safety.

ISO 12604-1 specifies standard mass and dimensions requirements for baggage checked-in by airline passengers to be carried into aircraft cargo holds. ISO 12604-2 ¹ provides requirements and guidelines for baggage handling.

The carrier and handling services provider are responsible for identifying and complying with legal requirements that are locally applicable, such as Health and Safety government legislations and regulations applicable to machinery or manual handling of loads.

1 Scope

This document specifies the requirements for workstation ergonomic design of baggage handling agents for individual pieces of baggage checked-in by airline passengers at airports to be carried into aircraft cargo holds.

This document applies to all manual handling workplaces in the processing chain for sorting, safe handling and routing of the baggage (containers and bulk baggage, departure and arrival circuits, at terminal and at aircraft, excluding passenger check-in process and loading into aircraft cargo holds). This document doesn't apply to manual handling of odd-sized baggage.

This document does not specify the baggage handling systems in and out of airport terminals, except the baggage weights and dimensions to be handled and the critical characteristics of manual workstations.

This document does not specify the baggage handling systems in the aircraft.
