Objective
The project will attempt to identify the sources of arduous work in a new method of working steep seams which are amenable to corrective ergonomics measures including:
- technical features (working + machine),
- characteristics of the operators (physical and psycho-physiological),
- detailed working methods (theoretical and practical),
- hazards involved in the operation (breakdowns, incidents, etc.),
- communication, posture,
- environmental factors (noise, dust, lighting, etc.),
- workload.
Ways and Means to Achieve the Work
The three classic methods of ergonomic work analysis will be applied: observation, interview, measurement.
- Observations
These will enable the multidisciplinary team to establish precisely the working stages and their constituent elements.
The accuracy of these observations will determine whether the difficulties involved in the task under scrutiny are correctly perceived and hence whether the action to be taken is soundly based.
- Interviews
Carried out anonymously, in groups and without management pressure, these are not only an essential means of "confirming" the aspects observed but are also a source of more precised information on the tasks involved and give an insider's view of the operations.
- Measurements
There will concentrate on specific working conditions (dust and noise levels, climate, etc.) and will provide a basis for assessing the physical load by recording heart rate (covering whole shifts and several operators).

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
