Since 1950s' attention has been paid in enterprises to customize complex technical structures to meet worker's needs. However, work creates negative for worker's health static posture which adversely affects worker's workload. The following research paper introduces certain problematic aspects of static load risk management of staff employed. The issue in question is quite relevant in warehouse labour ergonomics as well as effective organization and handling of tasks. The paper discusses OWAS method as a means to evaluate worker's workload. It also presents the employment of the method to analyse storehouse workload.
