This presentation explores the use of data to evaluate ergonomic risk factors and how PG&E collected this data to help create an algorithm that accurately predicts the risk of ergonomic discomfort.
Computer Assisted System for Enhancing the Application of Ergonomics in Manuf...Waqas Tariq
The current paper focuses on the need and a plan for the development of a Computer Assisted Interactive and Intelligent Ergonomics System which, through a user friendly consulting mode presents the guidelines and formalized procedures for the application of ergonomics knowledge and data in manufacturing organizations. The system is expected to allow a production engineer or supervisor or even a worker with minimal ergonomics knowledge, to understand, analyze and find solutions to problems related to industrial ergonomics. A survey which is conducted in this regard is also described in this paper and through the out come of the survey it is shown that the poor acceptance and application of ergonomics is due to lack of exposure to ergonomics knowledge and non-availability of ergonomics knowledge in a suitable form for its application in manufacturing systems. 10

Directions: This is your final project for this course. You are to perform a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) identifying individual steps, which poses increases increased risk for ergonomic injuries.
(1.) The first step is to identify a job task, which is repetitive in nature. You are to watch and record the individual steps within the task or the work cycle. Work cycles normally do not exceed 2 minutes. Reach step within the work cycle is called an element and the time in seconds associated with each element. Record the time in seconds in the appropriate column.
(2.) Record the appropriate percentage of time the task is usually done in the correct column.
(3.) In column 3 record the dominant hand left or right (L/R) associated with this step of the task. Dominant hand meaning the one doing the majority of the work.
(4.) If the worker is using a tool to perform a task within one specific element record here and estimate the amount of force necessary to perform the task in column 4. The amount of force should be recorded in kg.
(5.) Name/describe the tool used to perform the task for each step if there is one. Record the approximate weight of the tool and if it vibrates.
(6.) Describe the posture of each step as normal, abnormal and if abnormal which body part is out of the neutral position.

Ergonomics have become a concern within the workplace as improper or poor ergonomics can cause repetitive strain injuries, resulting in lost productivity, worker’s compensation claims and other liabilities for an organization.
Today, American companies spend approximately $30 billion annually on Repetitive Stress Injuries and Cumulative Trauma Disorders. These injuries could be prevented or lessened in severity through ergonomics health and wellness training.
