User-centred design for civil construction: optimising productivity by reducing safety and health risks associated with the operation and maintenance of on-road vehicles and mobile plant.

摘要: A range of productivity implications, injury and health risks are associated with the operation maintenance road construction equipment. Potential unwanted events giving rise to these include: slip, trips falls from ground or at height; performance hazardous manual tasks; exposure heat, chemicals whole body vibration; vehicle roll overs; collisions. It may be possible remove reduce risk through improved design equipment wider organisational systems. Design analysis techniques a assessment tool (Design OMAT EDEEP) were applied in review an asphalt job truck. Findings have led preliminary considerations for improvement there implications system changes
