Objective
The project will aim to ease the workload and improve safety in the sorting of salvaged mine materials. It will clarify the ergonomic criteria with respect to
1. The dimensions of the items which are to be pre-sorted by means of a screen.
2. The quantities per unit of time that can be sorted manually.
3. The speed of the sorting belt.
4. The location of the skips.
5. The weight of individual items.
6. Safety aspects.
Ways and Means to Achieve the Work
The degree of stress associated with various belt speeds and throughputs will be identified.
The demands placed on cognitive performance will be determined by examining the number of errors made during sorting in relation to belt speed and throughput.
In order to find the optimum layout of the walkways, belt and skips, video recordings of the work sequence will be made and assessed.
The system as a whole will be examined to identify potential sources of danger and the risks associated with them. To back up these findings, questionnaires will be prepared in collaboration with social and welfare services and used for a survey among workers.
The following measures will be taken
- measurement of heart rate and body temperature;
- measurement of effort;
- video recording of movements;
- determination of error rate in sorting work
