Abstract
To reduce occupational-related diseases, injuries and impairments to the musculo-skeletal systems, an ergonomics analysis of the work process is necessary. The authors describe a project to develop an automatic ergonomic work analysis method using existing and developed models of work stress factors. It was designed to record the work accurately without disrupting activities, and describe the situation so that production engineers and designers can be supplied with basic information for ameliorative measures. The system determines such parameters as the position and movement of 14 parts of the body, and such measurements as force exerted, range of movement and static stress. A pilot study with a prototype of the system has been completed and tested with simple work sequences.
