The tofu industrial production process has not implemented Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) properly there is an OHS risk. Insufficient air circulation, noise from boiler engines, non-ergonomic posture of workers, using PPE while working can potentially cause work accidents. purpose this study was to assess the risk HIRARC method in process. This type research descriptive occupational safet...

This paper investigates mental workloadassessment using statistical features derived fromelectroencephalography (EEG) signals. Mean, root meansquared, and correlation-based features are extracted from dataincluding EEG signal recordings of five participants performinga reading task with three difficulty levels of low, medium, andhigh and a baseline condition. Results rev...

E isen and colleagues have provided a good example of the use of smoothing splines in a thorough analysis of exposure-response data, for a study of lung cancer in relation to silica exposure. Exposure-response data are increasingly important for two reasons. First, as noted by Bradford Hill, a positive exposure-response provides support for a causal interpretation of an association. In the case...

INTRODUCTION Ergonomic interventions designed for office and computer work have become widely available and heavily marketed but there is little evidence to support their use with workers who already have a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD). The purpose of any ergonomic intervention can be to improve worker comfort, safety and/or productivity. The ergonomic research in secondary prevention typical...

Riveting tasks in aircraft manufacturing results in exposure to vibration from both rivet guns and bucking bars. Long term exposure to vibration has been associated with symptoms of vibration white finger and musculoskeletal disorders. Four different bucking bars of the same shape but different material and mass characteristics (90% tungsten, >90% tungsten, cold rolled and stainless steel) were...

Estimation of low-back moments from video analysis a validation study. 78 79 Chapter 6 Validity of a video analysis method 6 ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop, compare and validate two versions of a video analysis method for assessment of low-back moments during occupational lifting tasks since for epidemiological studies and ergonomic practice relatively cheap and easily applicable methods ...

This study investigated the effect of a school-based ergonomic intervention on childrens’ posture and discomfort while using computers using a pre/post test study design. The sample comprised 23 children age 9 and 10 years. Posture was assessed with Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) and a workstation assessment was completed using a Visual Display Unit (VDU) checklist. Self reported discomfort...

In manufacturing, control of ergonomic risks at manual workplaces is a necessity commanded by legislation, care for health of workers and economic considerations. Methods for estimating ergonomic risks of workplaces are integrated into production routines at most firms that use the assembly-type of production. Assembly line re-balancing, i.e., re-assignment of tasks to workers, is an effective ...
