Ergonomic improvement of fitting operations (blade, electrodes) in the production cycle in cold-working shops

Objective

Aims of project:

Prevention of work accidents and musculoskeletal disorders connected with manual handling operations, by:

the development of handling aids.
modification of equipment so as to reduce postural stress.
development of a training module relevant to the particular stresses involved in the operations studied.

The methods are aimed at:

evaluating the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders and accidents connected with the specific working conditions;
quantifying the biomechanical stress and comparing results with the admissible values;
identifying with precision the factors responsible for the mechanical stresses on the back and arms;
developing solutions which would help to reduce or eliminate the stresses without hindering performance.
