Empirical evaluation of training and a work analysis tool for participatory ergonomics

摘要: Abstract A controlled laboratory experiment was performed to test the effects of ergonomics training and NIOSH lifting equation on participatory redesign a simulated manual material handling job. Before performing job, 16 subjects were given instructed how use for tasks. Compared control group, who received instruction identified eliminated more risk factors in While used also factors, they did not eliminate any than group. No additive benefit found using both over either method alone. Ergonomics led better improvements terms eliminated. Implications tools approaches are discussed. Relevance industry This study supports that should be requisite approach. Given fundamental level training, demonstrated capable identifying eliminating
