Full textAbstract:
General Motors (GM) ergonomics activity began over 30 years ago as a decentralized, ad-hoc effort in various plants and divisions. In the mid-80’s GM and The United Automobile Workers (UAW) Union participated in an ergonomics pilot project with the University of Michigan (resulting in several published articles). In 1990 UAW-GM- Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) entered into an agreement on Ergonomics. These were the catalyst for Ergonomics Program in General Motors. By the mid-2000’s GM recognized how critical it was to shift more attention to “designing in” ergonomic principles and guidelines early in the vehicle and powertrain development process. Today, our Global Manufacturing Engineering Ergonomics team (Program Ergonomists) consist of individuals around the globe that execute our ergonomics process across several functional groups, as a single voice to ensure: Vehicle and Powertrain Product Engineering (PE) teams implement ergonomic principles in the products we make, and Manufacturing Engineering (ME) teams implement ergonomic principles when launching new programs in the manufacturing plants. Our primary focus is to design out systemic product and manufacturing issues and prevent future ergonomics issues before the product goes into production. GM’s ergonomics process is based on proactive assessments using internal and external ergonomic tools, research, and guidelines.

Full textAbstract:
Definitions of ergonomics reference its application to both productivity and well-being. Discussions in the ergonomics literature consider the correspondence between these goals in ergonomic practice and make the case for a robust conception that advances the twin agendas of safety and productivity, contrary to the dominant understanding that ergonomics is primarily concerned with safety. This article examines the professional practices as reported from a sample of 21 ergonomists from across Canada with a combined experience of 296 years. The analysis aims to understand the reported intersection of safety and productivity in the ergonomists’ work and the broader conditions that structure this negotiation. Results provide strong support for the view that ergonomics is primarily associated with safety. This is evident in the structural location of ergonomics within health and safety units of workplaces and in ergonomists’ reports that the main focus of their work is safety concerns. A minority of study participants indicated that they addressed productivity concerns in their work, either as secondary or primary outcomes of ergonomic applications. In either instance, efforts to highlight the contribution of ergonomics to production did not significantly disrupt the dominant safety-oriented perception of the field. Financial considerations were major determinants of whether recommendations were accepted and implemented. The argument for the more robust vision of ergonomics advanced within the profession reflects an effort to overcome the organizational divide between safety and productivity by stressing that, in effective ergonomics applications, safety and productivity are joined in the production process and ergonomists have a main role to play in advancing both agendas. The analysis provided here has identified significant challenges to the adoption of this position. An irony of the dominant understanding of ergonomics as oriented to safety is that this provides the main basis for its growing presence in workplaces but also limits its applications.

Full textAbstract:
The sandwich generation phenomenon raises the stereotype that the elderly are a "burden" for the younger generation. This makes the elderly want to be active, independent and productive through self-actualization. One way to overcome this problem is to provide opportunities for the elderly to work and contribute to society. Projects created to help the elderly tend to be less friendly to the elderly such as work environments that are not ergonomic, limited accessibility and services that are not in accordance with the needs of the elderly. Lack of attention to the comfort of the elderly in projects for the elderly can have a negative impact on the health and well-being of the elderly. Based on these problems, the design of the Senior Farmers Market requires an ergonomic study so that the elderly can work comfortably. Thus, ergonomic work environment design is needed to create a comfortable and safe work environment for the elderly. Ergonomics study itself is a relevant approach to understanding and improving aspects of the design of a project that can affect the comfort and productivity of its users. This study aims to explore the ergonomics study approach as a design principle in the context of a senior farmers market that is friendly to its workers who are mostly elderly. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach, observation, and ergonomic analysis to identify the ergonomic needs of the elderly. Keywords: Elderly; Ergonomics; Senior farmers market Abstrak Fenomena sandwich generation memunculkan stereotype bahwa lansia adalah beban bagi generasi dibawahnya. Stereotype ini kemudian membuat lansia berkeinginan untuk mencapai kemandirian dan menciptakan kesejahtraan mereka sendiri. Hal ini membuat lansia ingin menjadi aktif, mandiri dan produktif melalui aktualisasi diri. Salah satu metode untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini adalah dengan memberikan kesempatan bagi lansia untuk bekerja dan berkontribusi dalam masyarakat. Proyek yang di buat untuk membantu lansia cenderung kurang ramah bagi lansia seperti lingkungan kerja yang tidak ergonomis, aksesibilitas yang terbatas dan pelayanan yang tidak sesuai dengan kebutuhan lansia. Kurangnya perhatian terhadap kenyamanan para lansia dalam proyek-proyek untuk lansia dapat berdampak negatif terhadap kesehatan dan kesejahteraan lansia. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, perancangan Senior Farmers Market yang dibuat dalam rangka membantu lansia beraktualisasi diri ini membutuhkan studi ergonomi agar para lansia dapat bekerja dengan nyaman. Oleh karena itu, desain lingkungan kerja yang ergonomis sangat penting untuk membuat tempat kerja yang aman dan nyaman bagi orang tua. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pendekatan studi ergonomi sebagai prinsip perancangan dalam konteks senior farmers market yang ramah bagi para pekerjanya yang sebagian besar merupakan lansia. Untuk menentukan kebutuhan ergonomi untuk orang lanjut usia, penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang menggunakan metode studi literatur, observasi, dan analisis ergonomi yang sesuai untuk lansia.

Ergonomics developed in Italy in the seventies in a milieu characterized by severe social tensions as well as by a huge applicative demand raising the problem of large industrial plant transformation and redesigning. Since then many changes have occurred: a change in demand, a generational change, a change in training, the increasing number of company's ergonomic services. The traditional sector of workplace analysis and redesigning was supplemented by other activities in product ergonomics. Within the process of Italian and European certification, these changes led the Italian Ergonomics Society to work out a professional profile of the ergonomist, which is now included in a Law Bill.

Even though a large amount of ergonomic data and recommendations are available, tools, equipment and products are quite frequently subject to considerable ergonomic deficiencies. The reason for this is that knowledge of ergonomics is not as widespread as the expert would like it. The designer of work places and equipment usually has a rather small background of ergonomics. In many cases it is difficult even for the ergonomist to compress the available knowledge into tables and charts. A computerised assistance system could be of great help

This communication discusses the difficulties encountered by an ergonomics group's participants in two different plants in an ergonomic analysis of varied tasks. During work meetings attended by the ergonomists, the two ergonomics groups analyzed three jobs using an analysis tool developed by the researchers. The participants' difficulties were identified from an analysis of the content of the ergonomists' interventions during the meetings. The results obtained from the analysis of the second job revealed significant differences between the two plants. In plant 1, the participants' difficulties were expected learning-related difficulties, while in plant 2, the difficulties were unexpected and major. In this latter plant, most of the ergonomists' interventions were integrated into discussion cycles and were related to high intensity difficulties. The results indicate that the participants had difficulties that related to their representation of the basic concepts and objectives of ergonomics; they also had difficulty detailing the solutions and did not recognize the benefit of collaborating with company engineers. The results suggest that ergonomics committees' learning is related to company culture and establishes the limits of the ergonomist's role when he fails to change the participants' representations.

Full textAbstract:
The study and implementation of ergonomics are vital for the growth of industries and improvement in work cultures. Sustainable manufacturing cannot be achieved without the implementation of human-factor ergonomics. Ergonomics is used to analyze the link between research studies and industrial practices in order to maximize the efficiency of processes by keeping in view the well-being of workforce. Designing tools, tasks, machines, systems, jobs, and settings for efficient, safe, and successful human usage involves applying knowledge about human behavior, abilities, and limitations. Workers are the backbone of the manufacturing economy. The review outlines significant advancements in preventing ergonomic problems during the design stage of the manufacturing process to achieve sustainability. The bibliometric analysis is used to identify the literature base for ergonomics. To maximize the benefits of ergonomics and to integrate sustainable practices, various methods are required to organize existing processes and technologies. The human-centered design identifies problems and aligns the output with the intended objectives of sustainability. The goal of human factors and ergonomics is to successfully integrate people into systems and develop the manufacturing processes around the well-being of workers and sustainability principles. Similarly, ergoecology, eco-ergonomics, and green ergonomics are frequently used for sustainable manufacturing. Achieving sustainability in manufacturing is not possible without considering human ergonomics. Ergonomists frequently research management, planning, and other topics to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process. Efficient worker performance and quality of life can be enhanced through work design, management, and organizational ergonomics. Human ergonomics relates sustainability with cognitive variables such as situational awareness, human reliability, and decision-making abilities. This review explains the role of human factors and ergonomics for sustainable manufacturing.

Full textAbstract:
The pressure from recent and imminent Health and Safety legislation, both in Western Europe and Canada, has increased the awareness of the important contributions of ergonomics. At the same time it has become clear that ergonomists will never be plentiful enough to attack all workplace problems. In today's world economy, often, many companies lack the resources to employ an ergonomist. This creates a need for the transfer of ergonomics to non-ergonomists so that they can address their own workplace problems themselves. To transfer this skill in an effective and safe way requires a methodology which will incorporate a knowledge base, techniques for identifying mismatches between the people and their work, and ways to assist the users to interpret the results of the analyses and implement the necessary changes. Some useful ergonomics techniques are presented to assist people in assessing their own workplaces. They include techniques which measure work demands and their causes, equipment and environment analysis procedures and techniques that assess the potential for musculo-skeletal injuries.

A study was conducted using patients with musculoskeletal disorders, to aid with the development of a model system for providing work place ergonomic accommodations for elderly and disabled workers. An ergonomic assessment module was added to the multi-disciplinary quantified functional assessment of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Thirty-eight patients (22 female, 16 male) were interviewed by an ergonomist. All of these patients had chronic back pain and other musculoskeletal problems such as leg, head, neck, shoulder or hand pain. The ergonomics module was a 30-minute interview in which information on the current or previous work tasks, equipment, frequency, forceful exertions, and work positions was collected. Observations based on interactions with the medical team providing service demonstrated that data gathered during the ergonomics module resulted in substantially more information about a person's interactions within the work environment than the standard clinical team's assessment.

AbstrakMaraknya pengguna online game memicu terjadinya peningkatan jumlah penyedia jasa bermain game net dengan pengguna anak-anak, namun stasiun komputer yang digunakan ditujukan untuk pengguna dewasa. Akibatnya, muncul isu ergonomi yang dapat mengakibatkan keluhan otot rangka dengan salah satu indikatornya adalah kelelahan otot rangka. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh keergonomisan stasiun komputer game net dan dampaknya terhadap tingkat kelelahan otot jari tangan pada anak-anak pengguna online game. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan wawancara pengguna game net (n=166), survei keergonomisan game net (n=18) dan dilanjutkan dengan eksperimen. Pada eksperimen, sebanyak 36 anak (usia 12 tahun) direkrut secara random sebagai partisipan dan diminta bermain selama 4 jam di stasiun komputer game net yang dikategorikan ergonomis dan non-ergonomis berdasarkan hasil survei. Pengukuran kelelahan dilakukan menggunakan tiga tes kekuatan otot jari tangan, yakni tip pinch, key pinch, dan palmar pinch secara bergantian untuk tangan kanan dan kiri setiap satu jam. Kelelahan didefiniskan sebagai kecepatan pengurangan dari kekuatan maksimum terhadap waktu.

Abstract[Effect of Non-ergonomic Game Net Computer Station on Risks of Musculockeletal Disorders] The number of game net computer station providing online game has dramatically increased in Indonesia. The majority of game net users are children, but the computer stations are designed for adult users. This study was aimed at determining the effect of non-ergonomic game net computer station and its impact on the development of muscle fatigue on children finger. The study consisted of interview of game net users (n=166), survey of game net condition (n=18), and experiment. In the experiment, a total of 36 children (aged 12 years) were recruited as the participant. They were asked to play at both ergonomic and non-ergonomic game net computers for 4 hours. Fatigue development was measured using strength tests of finger muscle, including tip pinch, key pinch, and palmar pinch alternately for the left and right hands in every hour. Fatigue is defined as the rate of reduction in maximum strength by time. Based on t-paired comparison test, it was concluded that the ergonomics condition of computer stations had significant effect on the level of fatigue of children measured through key tip pinch and pinch for the right hand and left hand (p <0.05). The results of this study indicated the importance of ergonomic factors in the design of game net computer station in order to prevent complaint at musculoskeletal system.

Ergonomics is defined as the study of human and other factors of a system. Ergonomic factors during procedures and surgeries are important, because highly skilled performance is required in a medical environment. Evidence exists that even simple surgical procedures have associated occupational hazards if ergonomic principles are overlooked. Anesthesia is one of the most complex medical specialties, which involves precision, minute-to-minute monitoring, and continuous revaluation and adjustments. There is a paucity of published data in ergonomics applied to anesthetic procedure and none that examine patient, operator, and environmental factors simultaneously. Operating room environment has been studied as an ergonomic factor affecting anesthesia outcome. Ergonomics of anesthesia equipment and performance of common tasks such as endotracheal intubation and spinal anesthesia have been studied. The following ergonomic principles can reduce the fatigue and benefit health of anesthesiologists.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, many employees were required to work from home (WFH). During this WFH period, some employees encountered health issues related to sprains and neck or back pain owing to poor working conditions at home. As the WFH trend may continue over a prolonged period, the underlying causes and solutions to ergonomic issues must be addressed to reduce injuries. This study aims to identify the ergonomic issues encountered when working from home and suggests several solutions to minimise these issues. Methods: A qualitative ethnographic methodology was adopted. This study used focus group discussion and the panellists were among experts from the fields of higher education, healthcare, human resources (HR), and ergonomics patient in Malaysia. The most common ergonomic issues identified were based on diagnoses and observations in previous studies. Results: The panellists agreed on ergonomics issues, comprising the use of unergonomic chairs, incorrect sitting postures, irregular arrangement of key objects, improper reach distances of the laptop/keyboard/mouse, poor desk designs, footrest absence, distortion/noise, poor lighting, and poor work environment. Over time, WFH ergonomics issues may lead to burnout, carpal tunnel syndrome or other cumulative trauma disorders, high blood pressure, and stress on the cervical spine and neck. The proposed solutions include a complete WFH ergonomics and wellness checklist for employees and employers, webinar sessions on WFH ergonomics, meet-up sessions with ergonomics or HR experts, workspace rentals for co-workers, implementation of the 20-20-20 rule and job-sharing practices, and the involvement of employers or the government in procuring ergonomic equipment for WFH employees. Conclusions: This is a preliminary study and the researchers are exploring the root causes of WFH ergonomics issues and proposed solutions. While previous studies have examined workplace ergonomics, this study focuses on WFH ergonomic issues and solutions during the ongoing pandemic.

As a surgeon, few of us know much about ergonomics. However, all of us use ergonomics by instinct. How is that then? When we try to put everything at the “right” place in a surgical field, position the patient in a way that makes working easier for us, and perform fine maneuvers with our instruments in deep cavities with limited space we are using ergonomics; or trying to be ergonomic. Ergonomics is a rapidly growing science and is an essential part in every industrial product; be it the handle of a laparoscopic tool or a sophisticated surgical robot. We should feedback the Industry about what is more ergonomic for us, or what we “expect” from a product. If such a mutual communication develops, then we will be more satisfied by technical innovations in instruments. Ergonomics also applies to technical capabilities of humans; what makes some one better than others at handwork. Generally, this is the matter of inherent talent, which is diverse. However, all of surgeons need to be best at handwork during surgery. This is why we should learn more about ergonomics.

Kesehatan kerja karyawan menjadi salah satu hal yang diwajibkan oleh pemerintah kepada setiap perusahaan, hal ini diatur dalam Peraturan Menteri Tenaga Kerja No.5 tahun 2018 tentang K3 Lingkungan Kerja. Salah satu bagian yang diatur dalam Peraturan Menteri ini adalah terkait dengan Ergonomi. Ergonomi adalah ilmu yang mempelajari interaksi manusia dengan sistem, profesi, prinsip, data dan metode dalam merancang sistem agar menjadi optimal sesuai dengan kebutuhan, kekurangan dan keterampilan manusia. Sikap kerja yang tidak ergonomi akan menyebabkan munculnya penyakit akibat kerja. Salah satu aspek ergonomi yang menjadi fokus pada penelitian ini adalah proses kerja diarea Warehouse disalah satu perusahaan otomotif di Indonesia, sebut saja namanya PT XYZ. Sejumlah station kerja di warehouse secara ilmu ergonomi belum sesuai, sehingga harus dicarikan solusi yang tepat. Solusi yang diambil untuk meningkatkan Ergonomi pekerja adalah dengan menerapkan Autonomous Rack Picking System (ARPS). Sistem ini menggunakan sejumlah robot cerdas yang diintegrasikan dengan teknologi terkini dan sistem yang ada diperusahaan sehingga produktivitas dan kinerja dari robot bisa dimonitoring secara realtime. Monitoring performance robot dilakukan secara telemetri.Employee health is one of the things that is required by the government for every company, this is regulated in the Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 5 of 2018 concerning Occupational Health and Safety. One of the parts regulated in this Ministerial Regulation is related to Ergonomics. Ergonomics is a science that studies human interaction with systems, professions, principles, data and methods in designing systems to be optimal according to human needs, shortcomings and skills. Work attitudes that are not ergonomic will cause work-related diseases. One aspect of ergonomics that is the focus of this research is the work process in the Warehouse area in one of the automotive companies in Indonesia, let's call it PT XYZ. A number of work stations in the warehouse are not ergonomically appropriate, so the right solution must be found. The solution taken to improve worker ergonomics is to implement the Autonomous Rack Picking System (ARPS). This system uses a number of intelligent robots that are integrated with the latest technology and existing systems in the company so that the productivity and performance of the robots can be monitored in real time. Monitoring of robot performance is done by telemetry.

Ergonomics is not a panacea. Ergonomics focuses first on fitting the job to the worker, then on fitting the worker into the job. The appropriate application of ergonomic principles, while keeping in mind the individual differences among workers, will lead to improvement in the health and safety of any occupational setting. Perhaps the real significance of ergonomic programs is best considered in light of the possible alternatives. These words from Weiner (1950), also cited by Christensen (1987), sum up the problem of taking a narrow, short term view of the workplace, and the consequences of failing to actively strive for improved ergonomic working conditions: It is a degradation to a human being to chain him to an oar and use him as a source of power; but it is an almost equal degradation to assign him purely repetitive tasks in a factory, which demand less than a millionth of his brainpower. But it is simpler to organize a factory or galley which uses individual human being for a trivial fraction of their worth than it is to provide a world in which they can grow to their full stature (Weiner, 1950).

Asia has more than a half of the world population. However, ergonomics has not been widely applied with exceptions of Japan and Korea. Recently, the excitement of ergonomics is being spread to other countries such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Indonesia. Although there have been two regional conferences, PPCOE and SEA Conference. Asian ergonomists have not met together to discuss their activities in a world conference. Therefore, the objectives of this symposium is to provide the opportunities for them to discuss the current status of ergonomics and possibly joints efforts to promote ergonomics in Asia. At the same time, this symposium intends to introduce the ergonomics activities in Asia to Western and non-Asian ergonomists and to look for new guidance to enhance its activities from the world renowned experts who have experienced in working in Asia with Asian ergonomists. This syposium consists of two sessions: one panel session and one technical session.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) have long been recognized as the most common risks that operation of agricultural machineries poses, thus, undermining the ability to labor and quality of life. The purpose of this investigation was to thoroughly review the recent scholarly literature on ergonomics in agricultural mechanized operations; Methods: Electronic database research over the last ten years was conducted based on specific inclusion criteria. Furthermore, an assessment of the methodological quality and strength of evidence of potential risk factors causing MSDs was performed; Results: The results demonstrated that ergonomics in agriculture is an interdisciplinary topic and concerns both developed and developing countries. The machines with driving seats seem to be associated with painful disorders of the low back, while handheld machines with disorders of the upper extremities. The main roots of these disorders are the whole-body vibration (WBV) and hand-arm transmitted vibration (HATV). However, personal characteristics, awkward postures, mechanical shocks and seat discomfort were also recognized to cause MSDs; Conclusions: The present ergonomic interventions aim mainly at damping of vibrations and improving the comfort of operator. Nevertheless, more collaborative efforts among physicians, ergonomists, engineers and manufacturers are required in terms of both creating new ergonomic technologies and increasing the awareness of workers for the involved risk factors.
