Essay / Integrating Environmental Health and Safety for...
(2) Introduction: The main objective of ergonomics for human use is to develop a cost-effective way to solve problems related to environmental factors humans through a systematic and targeted method. Data collection, analysis of the collected data, implementation of solutions, results and associated monitoring actions contribute to ergonomics. Ergonomic factors in thermal power plants that can contribute to plant output are equipment design, worker productivity, occupational health and safety (OHS), workload, working posture, noise, temperature and lighting of the factory [1]. A seamless human-machine interface optimizes performance, but creating such a system is a major challenge of the 21st century [2]. Organizational failures create the necessary preconditions for human error and also worsen the consequences of these errors [3]. Therefore, interface systems must match the operator's capabilities [4, 5]. A total ergonomics program requires teamwork among all levels of managers and operators. Working in groups or teams improves the productivity and reliability of manufacturing systems. Studies show that teamwork improves productivity. Operators and supervisors must provide feedback to each other, which is essential to achieve efficient and cognitive results. Productivity and economic growth are closely linked and continuous electricity production is the key to industrial growth. Economic growth has implications for the use of resources and technology [6]. Productivity growth is necessary to support increased production and services [7]. In summary, a total ergonomics model takes into account all design features of conventional ergonomics and thus ensures optimal ergonomic compatibility of the system components with the overall system structure. This approach makes it possible to optimize the joints...... middle of the article ......., 1995. Relationships between ergonomics and quality in assembly work.
