Aim of the Project

This report will define theergonomic role in everyday contextby showing the contributiontowards profitability of thecompany, employees health andsafety in the workplace andtangible or intangible

Adequate posture, work height,normal and maximum workingareas are determined for theintended user population.

A case problem (Final Inspectionworkstation) is discussed toillustrate the workstation designprocedure.

WORKSTATION A workstation is the place a worker

occupies when performing a job. Theworkstation may be occupied all thetime or it may be one of several placeswhere work is done. Some examples ofworkstations are work stands or worktables for machine operation,assembly or inspection etc.

A well designed workstation isimportant for preventing diseasesrelated to poor working conditions, aswell as for ensuring that work isproductive. Every workstation shouldbe designed with both the worker and

the task in mind so that work can beperformed comfortably, smoothly andefficiently.

PROBLEMS IN WORKSTATION

The main causes of problems inworkstation are:

poorly designed seating;

standing for long periods;

reaching too far;

inadequate lighting forcing theworker to get too close to thework.

uncomfortable work posture cancause a variety of problems, suchas:

back injury; Inadequate lighting forcing the

worker to get too close

to the work.

circulatory problems in the legs.

BASIC ERGONOMICS PRIENCLE FOR

WORKSTATION DESIGN An ergonomic approach for the

design of workstations is theattempt to achieve anappropriate balance between theworkers capabilities and workersrequirements as well as provide

the worker with physical andmental well-being, jobsatisfaction and safety .

A general rule of thumb is toconsider body size information,such as height, when choosing

and adjusting workstations. Allworkstations must be adjusted sothat the worker is comfortableand the space in workstationmust be utilized properly.

Physiology Assessment As Well As

Cognitive Of Workers Main human body parts to

perform a task at this workstationare hand. Example of the criticaltasks are handling air gun toloose and tighten a bolt, fix awork piece at jig, fix a wire cable,

spark plug cap and air hose. The other human body parts

which are important in this workstation such as eyes for viewingthe condition of equipment fixingand to make a conclusion of theirown tasks based on standardgiven.

The other task which highlyrelated to human body parts atthe workstation is noise level

judgment using normal hearingprocess.

Questionnaire survey

Questionnaire survey on the workers by through interview session.

It is used to identify a level of body discomfort area and sources of injury or uncomfortable feelings.

Direct observation

Direct observation is performed by "walk through" inspection using digital camera to evaluate and identify

ergonomic risk factor based on work activity that has ergonomic stressors present at the workplace.
