Example of Our Strategy in Design Projects
Our strategy is to integrate ergonomics as part of a quality assurance
system throughout the design process, starting at the conceptual design.
|
|
|
The outline of an ergonomic quality assurance system can be part of a specific Health and Safety
case or separately issued for example as part of a corporate ISO 9001 standard.
It will identify when to use ergonomic tools in the design process and results in user requirements in the design specifications.

Applying Ergonomics
Man-machine and work environment interfaces are often seen as common sense. This approach can easily results in
implementing safety hazards, inefficiency and poor work conditions.
Systematically identifying and applying user requirements is part of the ergonomic approach:
Physical requirements (workspace, layout, manual handling aspects)
Mental requirements (information uptake, overload, underload, job boredom)
Work environment requirements (climate, noise, illumination, vibration)
Task requirements (plant routing efficiency, sampling, inspection, alarm handling)
Other important steps are:
Raising ergonomic awareness among design engineers with ergonomic workshops
Carry out ergonomic reviews during the design, construction and commissioning
Ergonomics in the workplace
In many cases Ergonomics Engineering is asked to carry out ergonomic surveys on location.
These projects can range from office workstations and manual handling assessments to offshore surveys and training the workforce.
Drivers behind these projects are often identification and assessments of possible health and safety hazards
and compliance with legislation.
