  • Interactive effect of ergonomics and production engineering on shoulder-neck exposure — A case study of assembly work in China and Sweden.

    Ergonomic improvements of work station design have been widely embraced as a measure for reduction of physical work load (mechanical exposure) and prevention or control of occupational shoulder-neck disorders. However, other elements of work rationalization, more in the hands of production engineers, may also influence the mechanical exposure.

  • Injuries due to assaults on psychiatric hospital employees in Washington State.

    In order to estimate rates and identify risk factors for assaults on employees of a state psychiatric hospital, we examined workers' compensation claims, hospital-recorded incident reports, and data collected in a survey of ward staff. Results revealed 13.8 workers' compensation claims due to assault per 100 employees per year. Assaults were responsible for 60% of total claims. Incident reports revealed 35 injuries due to assault per 100 employees per year.

  • Upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders at a pulp and paper mill.

    A small cross-sectional study of upper extremity disorders was conducted in two departments of a pulp and paper mill. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of upper extremity disorders and identify any associated work place risk factors in long cycle jobs with multiple tasks of varying duration.

  • Effects of ventilation flushout on indoor air quality in a newly constructed office building.

    Washington State building specifications require that all newly constructed public buildings be flushed out with fresh air at ambient temperature for 90 days prior to occupancy in an attempt to reduce air contaminants thought to be associated with construction materials and new furnishings. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of such a flushout in a new office building.

  • Ergonomic effects of a management-based rationalization in assembly work — a case study.

    Due to unsatisfactory productivity, a large company in the Swedish manufacturing industry decided to rationalize their assembly system. The intended rationalization comprised several changes with deliberate ergonomic implications. The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the rationalization on the physical work load of the operators.

  • Normalizing upper trapezius EMG amplitude: Comparison of different procedures.

    Different procedures have been used for normalization of upper trapezius electromyographic (EMG) amplitudes. This complicates comparisons between studies. The present study aimed at investigating the influence of some commonly used trapezius EMG normalization procedures on the results of ergonomic analyses, as well as the test-retest repeatability of these procedures.
