- Ergonomic Risk Identification and Assessment require the use of the Systems Approach This allows for a systematic, scientific approach to the quantification of the demands of the job and its tasks on the human being - both psychological and physiological The Systems approach considers the Physical ( Micro ) & Organizational Environment ( Macro ) as part of the overall ergonomic approach
- Notes:
- Notes:
- These Anthropometric Tables ( from HumanScale 1990, NASA 1987) are relatively easy to use Review the letters relative to the body part you are considering with your design. Match the letters to the numbers on the charts on the following page Consider the percentage of population you are accommodating
- What is the lowest height a box should be during frequent lifts to a pallet or worksurface? How high should a worksurface be? Is there anything else you need do know when determining working heights?
- Consider the body dimension you need to know for your office or seated workstation. Match the letters to the letters on the Matrix which follows. Remember , Anthropometric Tables should be considered whether you are trying to improve productivity and quality, prevent accidents and injuries or accommodate an employee back to the workplace following injury/illness
