Abstract:

Eight nanosized CaCO3 (nanoCaCO3) manufacturing workplaces in a plant were investigated for the possible exposure to nanoparticles (NPs). Personal sampling, area sampling, and real-time monitoring were performed using CPC (condensation particle counter) and OPC (optical particle counter) to characterize the mass exposure, particle size distribution, and particle number exposure. Only the mass concentration for area samplings in package and waste treatment workplaces were found to exceed the PNOS (particles not otherwise specified; 3 mg/m3) set by ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists), but lower than the OELs (occupational exposure levels, 4.0 mg/m3) set by the China Ministry of Health for CaCO3 fine, other workplaces were relatively lower than existing occupational exposure limits. The NPs and fine particles were most frequently released in package and waste treatment workplaces lacking of the engineering control. The mass concentration for area sampling in waste treatment workplace reached their highest values at 3.2647 mg/m3, while the number concentration in package workplace reached their highest values at 4.07×1011 pt/m3. So the workplaces of package and recovering particles in nanoCaCO3 handling progress were the major emission sources of NPs.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper describes a software system for the application of spacing methods in engineering companies. As input, the system uses the material flows of the planned production. The solution is based on the triangle net method, which has been modified in this design. The main idea of the modifications of this method is to create a system that would locate each machine workplace based on a comparison and evaluation of all the possible locations in the given space. The system offers the possibility of creating a custom database of machine workplaces. The graphical output shows how the machine workplaces are spaced and the materials flow between them.

Abstract:

Human Factors Engineering is an interdisciplinary science concerned with the effect of work on the human body and its relationship to the workplace. Since the 1970s, UNB – Forest Engineering has been a major contributor to teaching and research in this discipline, and in its application to forest operations. Rapid advances in mechanized tree-harvesting systems resulted in significant new workplace issues for operator health, safety, and machine design. Researchers responded by creating a CSA standard, working cooperatively with FERIC, CPPA and more recently the CWF, and founding the International Journal of Forest Engineering, which is a unique source for research results and developments in this discipline. Future research will involve multi-national teams of Human Factors Engineers, supported by related disciplines in healthcare and engineering. Key words: human factors, forest engineering, workplace health, workplace safety, mechanized forest operations

Abstract:

In recent years, there have been more and more collaborative workplaces in different types of manufacturing systems. Although the introduction of collaborative workplaces can be cost-effective, there is still much uncertainty about how such workplaces affect the capacity of the rest of production system. The article presents the importance of introducing collaborative workplaces in manual assembly operations where the production capacities are already limited. With the simulation modelling method, the evaluation of the introduction impact of collaborative workplaces on manual assembly operations that represent bottlenecks in the production process is presented. The research presents two approaches to workplace performance evaluation, both simulation modelling and a real-world collaborative workplace example, as a basis of a detailed time study. The main findings are comparisons of simulation modelling results and a study of a real-world collaborative workplace, with graphically and numerically presented parameters describing the utilization of production capacities, their efficiency and financial justification. The research confirms the expediency of the collaborative workplaces use and emphasise the importance of further research in the field of their technological and sociological impacts.

Abstract:

This research includes an examination about the impact of three organisational factors upon the perceived usefulness of workplace social networks for problem solving in engineering SMEs. As well this research examines the impact of the perceived usefulness of workplace social networks upon the innovative behaviour of engineering SME employees. More specifically, the dimensions of Social Capital Theory are applied as a lens to develop an understanding into the effect of the strength of workplace social network ties, sociability and organisational culture upon the perceived usefulness of workplace social networks for problem solving. This study examines the proposed model by applying mixed methods. The research method includes a survey with engineering employees' and interviews with senior management. The findings confirm that the organisational factors tested (tie strength, sociability and organisational culture) impact upon the perceived usefulness of workplace social networks for problem solving. Furthermore, the findings also confirmed that the perceived usefulness of workplace social networks affects the innovative behaviour of engineering SME employees. Therefore, this research adds to the current body of literature by providing insight into the usefulness of workplace social networks for problem solving and the impact this has on the innovative behaviour of engineering SME employees.

Abstract:

<p class="Abstract">This paper deals with collaborative robotics by highlighting the main issues linked to the interaction between humans and robots. A critical study of the standards in force on human–robot interaction and the current principles on workplace design for human–robot collaboration (HRC) are presented. The paper focuses on an anthropocentric paradigm in which the human becomes the core of the workplace in combination with the robot, and it presents a basis for designing workplaces through two key concepts: (i) the introduction of human and robot spaces as elementary spaces and (ii) the dynamic variations of the elementary spaces in shape, size and position. According to this paradigm, the limitations of a safety-based approach, introduced by the standards, are overcome by positioning the human and the robot inside the workplace and managing their interaction through the elementary spaces. The introduced concepts, in combination with the safety prescriptions, have been organised by means of a multi-level graph for driving the HRC design phase. The collaborative workplace is separated into sublevels. The main elements of a collaborative workplace are identified and their relationships presented by means of digraphs. </p>

Abstract:

Risk assessment is the systematic recording and evaluation of all factors in the work process that can cause occupational injuries, illnesses or health damage. It can identify the options, ways of preventing, eliminating and reducing risks.The risk assessment considers the work organization, work processes, raw materials and materials used in technological and work processes, personal protective equipment and equipment at work, as well as other elements that may cause risk of personal injury, health damage or illness of the employee.The primary objective of occupational risk assessment is the protection, safety and health of employees.Risk assessment helps to minimize the risk of employees being compromised during work process activities. It also helps to maintain the efficiency of the business activity.A risk assessment act is an act containing a description of the work process with an assessment of the risk of injury and / or damage to workplace health in the work environment and measures to eliminate or reduce risks in order to improve safety and health at work.This act determines the possible types of hazards and harms in the workplace, assesses the risk of injury at work or health damage of the employee, determines ways and measures to eliminate them, or reduce their risk to minimum.Mechanical engineers design machines and tools, organize their production and handle their exploitation. They are experts for propulsion engines, vehicles and vessels, process and power plants, load-bearing structures. As designers, they design a product or manufacturing process so it can best meet the requirements and functions they need. In a process of designing a product, they take available raw materials and available production technology, and if they design the production process, they are guided by the type of input material and processing technology. Mechanical engineers in manufacturing plan, manage and supervise the production of machinery and plant. They systematically test the manufactured components, because they depend on the efficiency, reliability and safety of the whole system. For quality assurance, they constantly carry out tests and measurements of input materials and finished products with measuring instruments.This work is based on an analysis of the position of a mechanical engineer in the company named "Flamma-Systems Ltd." based in Nis. The company employs mechanical engineers and it deals primary with manufacturing of high-power boilers for heating greenhouses and buildings. The main market for this company is Sweden.

Abstract:

Designing a robotic workplace is a time and knowledge intensive process. It requires systems engineers who specialise in the design of this type of workplace and have the appropriate know-how in this area. Due to the time-consuming nature and the small number of experts, a small number of solution options are often created, from which the most suitable one is subsequently developed. The aim of the development was to create a tool that would simplify the design of robotic workplaces. The result is a software tool integrated into the SolidWorks CAD system. The tool uses a database of models. The connection between the developed software tool and the database is realized through the API of the SolidWorks CAD system. Thanks to this tool, it is possible to simplify and speed up the work of workplace design. More variant solutions can be developed and overall better results can be achieved.

Abstract:

Engineers are responsible for solving highly complex problems and, hence, some training to solve such problems, particularly real-life issues, are necessary. The Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC), Board of Engineering of Malaysia (BEM), emphasizes the important of engineering competencies in engineering Program Learning Outcome (PLO), such as the ability to identify, formulate, analyze, and apply mathematical knowledge to engineering problems. However, it was reported that students in university face more challenges in understanding engineering mathematics as they are not taught by instructors who specialize in the respective field. Thus, this study was conducted using a phenomenological approach to identify the mathematical competencies (MC) among practicing engineers at manufacturing workplaces in PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) process workflow. Three respondent engineers were chosen as respondents for this study, but only one respondent reported in this study. Data was gathered through intensive interview sessions at the workplace. Data analysis technique of phenomenological reduction was primarily utilized in this study were Epoche, identify significant statement, Meaning Units, Textural Description of the Experience, Structural Descriptions of the Experience, and Textural-Structural Synthesis phenomenology. The method provides logical, systematic, and coherent design elements that lead to an essential description of the experience. The findings revealed that the MC elements frequently used at each stage of the PDCA process are thinking mathematically, problem handling, and mathematical communication. This study will inform instructors to develop mathematical competencies related to real-life problem-solving during teaching and learning in engineering activities and academic programs at their institutions.

Abstract:

Usually, the handling characterisation of workplaces is not taken into consideration during the handling equipment selection process, so the handling solutions are not optimized and require additional modifications. If we could exactly define the handling parameters of workplaces and take them into account before the selection of the handling equipment, the result will be better suit. In this paper, the handling parameters of production workplaces and their effects to the handling solutions are presented. The focus is on the external handling process and the relation among workplace and handling equipment parameters, and an example is also presented.

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the effects of workplace noise on neural activity and alpha asymmetries of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during mental stress conditions. Workplace noise exposure is a pervasive environmental pollutant and is negatively linked to cognitive effects and selective attention. Generally, the stress theory is assumed to underlie the impact of noise on health. Evidence for the impacts of workplace noise on mental stress is lacking. Fifteen healthy volunteer subjects performed the Montreal imaging stress task in quiet and noisy workplaces while their brain activity was recorded using electroencephalography. The salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) was measured before and immediately after each tested workplace to evaluate the stress level. The results showed a decrease in alpha rhythms, or an increase in cortical activity, of the PFC for all participants at the noisy workplace. Further analysis of alpha asymmetry revealed a greater significant relative right frontal activation of the noisy workplace group at electrode pairs F4-F3 but not F8-F7. Furthermore, a significant increase in sAA activity was observed in all participants at the noisy workplace, demonstrating the presence of stress. The findings provide critical information on the effects of workplace noise-related stress that might be neglected during mental stress evaluations.

Abstract:

LGBT+ workers are invisible in Turkish work life. This paper aims to investigate LGBT+ workers as internal customers and how their performance in the workplace is affected by minority stress. Since LGBT+ individuals face covert discrimination in the workplace, this might cause minority stress. According to this argument, this study will investigate whether minority stress causes performance loss in the workplace and whether this affects LGBT+ people's performance as internal customers. Grounded theory approach has been used in this research. To conduct the qualitative study, 36 phone interviews were conducted. Participants were recruited with the snowball sampling method. The interview form was prepared according to the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index questionnaire and included a video that shows a job interview. Based on the results, minority stress causes performance loss in the workplace. The findings highlight that LGBT+ individuals generally prefer not to be out at their workplaces because of internalized homophobia, perceived stigma, and prejudiced events concerning their sexual identity and gender expression. Furthermore, nondiscrimination is not legally enshrined in Turkey. LGBT+ individuals face covert discrimination in the workplace, which affects their performance as internal customers. Only a few Non-Governmental Organizations have reported on LGBT+ individuals’ working situation. This research paper comprehensively examines their work lives and attitudes towards companies. Keywords: LGBT+, internal customer, minority stress, gender, workplace

Abstract:

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) a highly contagious viral respiratory disease has been declared as pandemic due to its global spread across most countries. Social isolation (i.e. physical distancing) and strict embracement of personal hygiene are few demonstrated preventive methods of COVID-19 transmission. All countries, based on the recommendations of World Health Organization (WHO), have adopted lockdown strategy (promoting physical distancing) to prevent COVID-19 transmission in the community including workplaces. In the interest of economic sustenance, many countries have partially relaxed the lockdown policies, to resume selective functioning of factories / organizations / institutes / workplaces. However, in the absence of appropriate occupational health and safety policies, workplaces are a potential threat for COVID-19 transmission & outbreak. The following document reviews the conventional hierarchy of occupational safety and health control measures (i.e. engineering controls, administrative controls and PPE), necessary to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks at workplace, based on the current scientific evidences on COVID-19.

Abstract:

Purpose. Determination of the noise induced permanent threshold shift for a coal miners in five main working professions, taking into account the noise impact on the way to the workplace and back based on data obtained from personal sound level meters. Methodology. A strategy is selected for measuring the level of noise exposure at workplaces No. 3 per workday (GOST ISO 9612-2016) in a coal mine. Personal sound level meters were attached to the miners shoulders; they measured the noise level on the way to the workplace, during the work shift (8 hours) and on the way back. The processing of the measurement results was carried out on the basis of a quantitative assessment of the noise impact on workers according to the noise induced permanent threshold shift (NIPTS). The NIPTS values were calculated for a period from 3 to 30 years for 5 main professions, taking into account the noise impact when moving to the workplace and back. Findings. The values of the equivalent noise level at miners workplaces of are determined, which are 15 to 20 dBA above the maximum permissible equivalent level (80 dBA). Based on the results obtained, a constant shift in the hearing threshold was forecast for workers of five occupations with seniority of 3 to 30 years. A reduction in the hearing threshold of a sinker will amount to 25 dB in 30 years, which corresponds to the occupational disease Stage 3. Originality. Constant displacement of the hearing threshold for workers in coal mines, caused by the effect of an increased noise level during the journey to the place of work and back, was revealed. Practical value. It was found that in order to prevent the development of an occupational disease (sensorineural hearing loss) in underground miners, it is necessary to measure the noise level by using personal sound level meters for an 8-hour working day, taking into account the way time to the workplace and back. Noise exposure assessment should be based on a continuous decrease in the hearing threshold.

Abstract:

Purpose. To analyse the process of heat exchange between the man and the environment, including production areas, as well as to develop and study the criterion of workplace comfort by the thermal factor. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are to be solved: - to consider the characteristics of the microclimate in the workplace, including that of office space using information technologies; - to develop a mathematical model of heat exchange between the human body and the environment; - to develop a criterion for the efficiency of functioning of microclimate normalization systems in the workplace. Methodology. To perform the tasks in the work, an analysis of the literature and sanitary and hygienic documentation on the specified problem is performed; analytical method is applied for studying the comfort of the sanitary and hygienic condition of the indoor air using a mathematical model of heat exchange between workers and the environment. Findings. Based on the theoretical analysis, the criterion of microclimate comfort is obtained, which differs from the known ones in that it takes into account all types of heat transfer from the human body to the environment depending on the nature and intensity of human activity, allows estimating the total value of heat flow depending on the environmental condition with fair accuracy for the practical purposes and can be used to substantiate the efficiency of methods and means of normalizing the microclimate when performing work using information technologies. Originality. A mathematical model of heat transfer in the man environment system is developed and theoretically substantiated. The criterion of microclimate comfort at workplaces is offered and mathematical relation to calculate it is obtained. Practical value. The results of calculations of the comfort criterion in the workplace can be used when developing tools and methods for normalizing the microclimate in the workplace and assessing the effectiveness of their implementation.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on transition of engineering graduates to work. It asks: “What approaches and enabling activities can organisational induction programs use to support successful transition to practice for new-career engineers?” Design/methodology/approach The paper is grounded in literature review; it discusses central themes in the literature relating to transition to the workplace for Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) graduates. These include: skills required for the workplace; challenging factors in the transition to workplace; and, disciplinary socialisation. Findings There is a lack of literature that explores the design of workplace induction programs to assist novice engineers transition to professional work. An emerging topic in the literature is educational institution and employing organisation co-production of induction and transition to work programs. Originality/value Much of the literature relating to transition to work programs is from higher education rather than from the viewpoint of the workplace. This review contributes to knowledge of transition to work for early-career engineers from the perspective of workplace development programs.

Abstract:

The current COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the world of work, one of which is the informal industry. To protect informal workers from exposure to COVID-19, control efforts can be carried out through the UKK Post from the Puskesmas, one of which is by developing an engineering control-based workplace design that is in accordance with ISO/PAS 45005:2020. Design of this research is Research and Development Level 1, using instruments in the form of questionnaires, interview guidelines, and validation sheets. The sample in this study was the Head of the UKK Post and the UKK Pos UKK cadre at Puskesmas X with the sampling technique being purposive sampling, and 3 validators. The results of the research conducted indicate that the development of workplace designs carried out is the development of ventilation, room layout, floor signs or markers, and physical barriers in the administrative, production and finishing areas. Workplace design development products that have been made get grades in a decent category with minor improvements based on the validation carried out with the validators.

Abstract:

Following contextual design, we identified motivational and social aspects, as well as environmental factors of desk-based office workplaces, that contribute to sedentary behavior in the workplace. Through 10 full-day work observations, we gathered detailed qualitative data on why and when workers sit and unveiled tacit knowledge about habits and physical workplace layouts that favor prolonged sitting, complementing the mostly quantitative research done in the field. Developing social motivations for standing and walking, distributing frequently used objects to require more walking, and reducing the attractiveness of sitting turned out to be key drivers for reducing and interrupting sedentary behavior.

Abstract:

Construction machinery is one of the most common noise sources in the environment and at the workplace. In Russia about 40% of all occupational injuries and 40% of the loss of working capacity are recorded at the construction sites. The noise levels at the operator’s position exceeds noise limits up to 40 dBA. However, personal hearing protection recommended in Russia can not provide sufficient noise reduction. To reduce construction noise administrative and engineering controls, substitution of noise with the standardization of noise emissions and replacing of noisier equipment with quieter items can be recommended. Administrative measures of noise reduction include reduction of work time, training and audiometric testing. To elaborate engineering controls a method of separation of noise sources with mathematical modelling was proposed. Basing on this method the most effective noise reduction measures were proposed that helped to reduce noise in the cabin of a backhoe by 6-7 dBA.

Abstract:

One goal of college technical writing courses is to prepare students for real-world writing situations. Business writing textbooks function similarly, using guidelines, sample assignments, and model documents to help students develop rhetorical strategies to use in the workplace. Students attend class, or read and perform exercises in a textbook, with the faith that these skills will apply to workplace writing. In an attempt to better understand the similarities and differences between industry and academe's expectations of one genre of workplace writing, the memo, we compared the perceptions of memo quality by engineering faculty, students, and practitioners. All three groups responded to three sample memos taken from textbooks used by engineering professors in their undergraduate classrooms. The results indicate that students' and engineers' opinions of memo quality were more closely related to one another than to professors' comments, focusing on content, while professors were the most critical of style issues.

Abstract:

Modern society shifts its focus to the security of the individual, as the basic unit of society, in all spheres of his life. The aim of this study is to present the results of research on the subjective feeling of safety of employees in the gaming industry in Serbia. The results showed that almost half of them feel insecure in their workplace. Analysis of the results of research tells us that the socio-demographic characteristics of subjects, such as sex, age structure, but also the Serbian region in which they live, and also if they belong to the student population, have an impact on their perception of the level of safety in the workplace. Other socio-demographic characteristics of an individual which have been studied have shown no statistical significance. Stress in respondents who feel very insecure in the workplace increases most when there is a physical conflict with someone or a major material loss. A linear correlation between indicators of stress and feelings of safety in the workplace was confirmed. The obtained results can be used to improve the safety situation at workplaces where money and people are handled, but also to take preventive measures in order to reduce the level of risk.

Abstract:

One of the most crucial factors that influence the success of a construction project is communication. However, past studies found that communication failure frequently occurs at civil engineering workplaces. Among communication failures reported were oral communications, such as giving instruction and briefing; skills, which are supposed to be mastered by engineering graduates during their study years. Thus, students need to equip themselves with proper oral communication skills before they enter the industry. As such, this study aimed to develop a valid and reliable survey instrument to measure Workplace Oral Communication Skills (WOCS) by performing a step-by-step instrument validation through exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The questionnaire consisted of nine components, with 39 items of Workplace Oral Communication Skills (WOCS). In the study, the EFA was carried out in three rotations until every item’s factor loading met the minimum requirement of 0.60. Notably, Bartlett’s test of Sphericity was significant (p <0.05), and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test was more than 0.60 in every rotation, which means that the sample size was adequate. Furthermore, all components showed a Cronbach Alpha >0.70, which indicates that the instrument is reliable. The final result of the EFA showed that the WOCS construct only had six components with 25 items. Therefore, this study had managed to validate the instrument. Thus, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) can proceed in the next study using the validated instrument.
