Scope of this TutorialScope of this TutorialScope of this TutorialScope of this Tutorial

This tutorial will give Industrial and Manufacturing Engineers an understanding of the basic concepts of ergonomics, known risk factors, methods of analyzing tasks, and suggested ways of reducing risk in an industrial or warehousing environment.

Ergonomics is an ‘inexact science’ and the results of some method analyses can be open to interpretation. However ‘a little common sense’ goes a long way.

What is Ergonomics?What is Ergonomics?What is Ergonomics?What is Ergonomics?

A study of the relation between people and their work environment.

Is used to prevent injuries and illnesses associated with the design of physical work.

Is used to increase employee safety and comfort and to optimize work performance and quality.

HOMEHOME



The term ‘ergonomics’ comes from the Greek words ergon (work) and nomos (law).

Too often ergonomics is only applied because of the ‘Law’.

Ergonomics should be seen as a ‘win/win’ opportunity to improve productivity and quality while increasing employee safety and morale.

What is Ergonomics?What is Ergonomics?What is Ergonomics?What is Ergonomics? Reactive Ergonomics – is where you respond to a

work place complaint or injury.

Reactive Ergonomics – is where you respond to a work place complaint or injury.

Proactive Ergonomics – is where you analyze a proposed task at design time to prevent an injury.

A real world ergonomics program should include both analyses. But due to constraints of time and staffing not every task can or indeed needs to be analyzed.

Good work station & tool design will prevent a lot of problems whatever the task.

It is important to note that occasional exposure to a risk factor is not usually harmful.

Significant exposure to a risk factor may be harmful to sections of the population.

You can’t specify the physique, age, sex of the operator.

Ergonomic analysis tools are going to be based on 95% of the working population being able to do the work.

Our bodies use energy from the food we eat to meet two kinds of physical demands.

Internal demands are the processes which maintain life and growth within our bodies.

External demands are the physical activities which we perform during our waking hours

If activities exceed our personal limits of stamina or strength (and this varies from person to person), then two kinds of fatigue may result

Localized fatigue:- effects the particular part of the body that is working, for example the arms.

Whole – body fatigue occurs when several body parts are over exerted.

FatigueFatigueFatigueFatigue

HOMEHOME


Is either dynamic or static.

Dynamic exertion is where there is visible movement of the body.

Static exertion is where the body or part of the body is held in place.

Static exertion is often more tiring because the muscles have no chance to recover.


Physical ExertionPhysical ExertionPhysical ExertionPhysical Exertion

HOMEHOME


The amount of force you use in an exertion and the length of the exertion both effect how soon and how much fatigue will set in.

Localized fatigue is best relieved by changing activities to rest working muscle groups or by resting the working limb.

Whole body fatigue is best reduced by reducing the level of body activity or by resting the body.


Fatigue and RecoveryFatigue and RecoveryFatigue and RecoveryFatigue and Recovery

HOMEHOME


If an operator works in an activity that exceeds their strength or stamina, then overexertion injuries and cumulative trauma injuries are possible.

Overexertion can cause immediate injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments. Such as sprains, strains and tears.

Cumulative Trauma injuries are of the ‘wear and tear’ type and include damage to hands, wrists, shoulders, elbow and some back disorders

Risk Activities may occur at work, and may occur at home. Consider the body posture, force requirement and hand grip when bowling or hanging washing on a line.

When walking a factory, you can often tell the physically demanding tasks by the operators performing them. Big, buff, men! But consider who will get the blame (and cost) for operator injury if ‘Big Bill’ hurt his back at home, and now has to do his physically demanding tasks?

The work has to fit the operator, not the operator the work!

Things to considerThings to considerThings to considerThings to consider


HOMEHOME


Tasks often have multiple Risk Factors

To analyze the task, multiple assessments have to be done to cover Force, Repetition, Posture, Fatigue

The task time is important. If risk is found, any proposed solutions must take into account manufacturing cycle time requirements, and of course

COSTCOST.

Since you obviously can’t assemble anything without the use of hands and fingers we have to be concerned with the position of the hands, the type of grip forces involved, vibration, pressure, temperature and the number of repetitions.

A wrap or power grip is best.

Pinch forces over 7lbs can cause injury.

Hook and contact grasps expose the operator to the potential of contact stress with sharp, or hard objects.

Using the hand(or any body part) to strike objects obviously isn’t recommended, but you do see it, as an operator ‘slaps’ something into place.

Horizontal reach over 25 inches (62.5cm) is greater than the reach of 5% of the female population without bending. A vertical reach of over 70 inches(175cm) is above the reach of 5% of the female population

The longer the reach, the greater effect of any weight involved. The more off center the reach, the greater effect of any weight involved.

The most frequently used lifting analysis in the USA is the NIOSH91 guide.

This has a maximum weight of 51 lbs (23kg)

It mainly uses weight and body posture to determine a lifting index for the 5% female.

This screen shows input for NIOSH91, as well as for the Alpha analysis

An index of 1 or less is ideal, but may be unrealistic. What % of your workforce are 5% female

Some companies are OK with a 2 or below

This screen shows the results of a NIOSH91 analysis of a given lift



HOMEHOME


Whilst NIOSH91 focuses on the entire body, the analysis shown here gives results for strength, fatigue and recovery by back, shoulder, elbow and hand.

A 4 means that 95% of the working population can’t do the task without risk of injury.



HOMEHOME


By using the tools available you can see areas of concern

Rule of thumb – as you increase the weight of a lift (50 lb max) the more neutral you must keep the body posture.



HOMEHOME


Space constraints Available rest between lifts Capability of the employee

skill in handling loads past injuries

Note:Note: The affectivity of safe lifting techniques has been questioned. “Proper lifting’ is not a substitute for a well engineered work place. Loads that can be lifted by the legs from a squat can exceed the capacity of the lower back. Other variables that can effect the degree of difficulty in lifting loads safely are:

Size (bulk) of load Floor/shoe traction Stability of load Adequacy of grip Distance to carry



HOMEHOME


Pushing is better than pulling (less strain on back).

Pushing can be split into whole body or arms only.

Suggested standing force limits are 50lbf using 2 hands.

A 2 wheel manual cart should not be loaded with >250lb or 114 kg.

3 or 4 wheel manual cart should not be loaded with >500lb or 228kg

Pushing can be split into whole body or arms only

Suggested force limits are 24lbf using 2 hands.

Pinch forces of over 2lbs (1 kilo) are generally considered to have injury potential

Carrying loads greater than 50 lbs is to be avoided.

Constant use of hands & fingers – rotate to jobs where hand use is lower.

Arms extended & unsupported – alter the design of the work station to bring the work closer. Don’t work above shoulders, don’t require elbow abduction (elbows up).

Bending & Twisting – reposition the objects to the front of the worker at an appropriate height

Using significant force – reduce the weight of the load if possible, keep the body in neutral postures, use assisted lifts, reduce pinch forces, use power grips, minimize lift distance.

Static body posture – alternate between standing and sitting, rest one foot on a support while standing

Vibration – isolate body from vibration source, rotate to non vibrating job, use better designed tools

Contact Stress – cushion exposed body parts (eg gloves), pad hard or sharp objects, round or smooth rough edges

Heat/cold – limit exposure to temperature extremes, provide heating/cooling systems, provide protective clothing

Noise – use hearing protection, reduce exposure to high noise levels.

New Product DesignNew Product DesignNew Product DesignNew Product Design

New products should not be designed solely for function, but also for assembly.

Part of DFA (Design for Assembly) is accounting for ergonomics.

EASE, Inc has integrated software modules that reflect this belief.

HOMEHOME



New products are designed in a DFA module that uses standard touch labor data as part of the process.

When a beta design is ready, it can be transferred to a routing system, standards in place by operation for the addition of material handling data (where parts are in relation to the work station & operator, that may not be known at design time) and input of manufacturing engineers.

HOMEHOME


The process plan is then transferred to line balancing to ensure that different production schedules can be met.

Each station for a new process, should have an ergonomic review done proactively.

If problems surface at this stage, the beta design can be sent back for revision.

Once the design is acceptable, work instructions can be added to the routing, and we are ready for production.
