Раскрыта их сущностная характеристика и наполняемость, дана характеристика эргономической компоненты образовательной среды, отмечены этапы, принципы, параметры, требования и показатели процесса формирования эргономической образовательной среды, а также указан компонентный состав технологии создания и применения комфортной среды в образовательном процессе. Делается вывод, что при формировании эргономической образовательной среды на основе эргономического подхода учет учебной деятельности обучающихся и трудовой деятельности педагога обеспечит развитие личности и сохранение здоровья. The article investigates the issue of creating the conceptual apparatus of a new branch of pedagogy, namely educational ergonomics. The relevance of the research is accounted for by the necessity to ensure comfortable and safe education, which can only be achieved through an ergonomic educational environment. The aim of the research is to provide a theoretical substantiation of the necessity to create an ergonomic educational environment which ensures learners’ harmonious development and health preservation coupled with learners’ educational potential. The article investigates Russian and foreign scholars’ works devoted to the investigation of terminology related to educational ergonomics. Having researched the formation of ergonomic educational environments, we can maintain that the phenomenon is largely underinvestigated. Pedagogical ergonomics is only treated as a branch of pedagogy. We have formulated a number of notions such as ergonomic educational environment, ergonomic educational system, ergonomics, ergonomic learning space, ergonomization. The article characterizes the essence and the content of the notions, characterizes the ergonomic components of educational environments, speaks about the stages, principles, parameters, requirements and indices of the process of ergonomic educational environment formation. It also discusses the components of the technology of creating a comfortable learning environment. The author concludes that when an ergonomic educational environment is created, the analysis of teachers’ and learners’ academic activities can ensure both personality development and health preservation.

Agricultural machine tools with technology can help processes in agriculture so that time is more effective, cost-effective and improves the quality or quality of plants or products, such as vacuum frying which is used to fry fruit chips that are susceptible to hot temperatures so that the taste of fruit chips from vacuum frying will be similar to the original fruit. The use of agricultural tools and machines cannot be separated from K3 and ergonomics. Therefore this research was conducted for the ergonomics of a vacuum fryer in terms of anthropometry, recommended workload, work fatigue, and the physical work environment. This study used a quantitative method supported by literature studies on the ergonomic dimensions of a vacuum fryer or in accordance with the size of the human body. The results showed that the ergonomic dimensions of the tool corresponded to the dimensions of the operator's body in the form of control box height, stove height, frying tube cover height, pressure output height, pressure regulator height, and stirrer lever. The level of operator fatigue is classified as ergonomic because the CVL (Cardiovascular Load) percentage obtained is ≤ 30% so that fatigue does not occur in operating the tool. The recommended workload is classified as ergonomic because the actual load lifted is lower than the RWL calculation results. The temperature measurement is not ergonomic because the temperature exceeds the NAV, while the lighting is classified as ergonomic because it has exceeded the minimum standard value for lighting and the noise measurement is classified as ergonomic because it does not exceed 88 dBA. In operating a vacuum fryer, it can be done in the morning or there is a work station repair so that glare does not occur when using the machine, and when using it, it must be equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE). Keywords: Anthropometry, Ergonomic, Vacuum Fryer

In the era of increasing attention to ergonomic work organization (which also affects employee safety), ways are being sought to improve and detail ergonomic analyses aimed at proposing ways to improve working conditions. One such method may be the use of Mo-Cap technology, which allows for examining the position of employee body segments while performing key activities at work. The findings are at least partially compatible with ergonomic assessment techniques, e.g. REBA, in order to obtain a more accurate analysis resulting from better recognition of work planes. The presented article focuses on recognizing the possibilities of using Mo-Cap in ergonomic analyses on selected examples. The positive aspects of the application were identified (e.g. better recognition of the employee's body position during work) as well as limitations (e.g. lack of possibility to translate the ad-reading into determining the angles of the body segments' position). The results support the use of ergonomic assessment methods. They are also analyzed in relation to the benefits and barriers of using Mo-Cap technology in ergonomic analyses.

Ergonomics is the study of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body, its movements, and its cognitive abilities. In the context of students in the 21st century, ergonomics is important because of the increasing amount of time that students spend using technology, such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. Poor ergonomics can lead to physical discomfort, pain, and even long-term injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and back problems. This article assessed the relationship between students, some ergonomic factors they may come into contact with during their stay at the university, and how the relationship can be improved. The study adopted a correlational survey research design. All the undergraduate students from the faculty of sciences formed the population of the study. 357 students were randomly selected to participate in the study. The determination of the sample size was guided by Research Advisors (2006). An instrument titled “Ergonomics and Students’ Health” was developed and used for data collection. It was validated, and it was used to conduct a pilot study. A reliability index of 0.98 was obtained using Chrombach Alpha at the 0.05 level of significance. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results from the study found that most of the students do not see ergonomics as a factor of concern. A negative relationship was also found between ergonomics and students’ health conditions at the university. It was concluded that ergonomics is a silent issue with numerous negative health effects that needs urgent responses from both students and university management. It was therefore recommended that the university management take the necessary measures to improve the ergonomic conditions of its students.

Manual activities of workers in palm oil factories cause pain complaints that can be resolved with an ergonomic program. However, the uncertainty of the success of the ergonomic program requires active involvement from workers. This study aims to discuss the role of workers’ perceptions towards the success of the ergonomic program intervention in palm oil mills. By referring to the theory of reasoned action and technology acceptance model, acceptance of workers to ergonomics programs are influenced by perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived trust. All these research variables were analyzed simultaneously using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) software, in which data were obtained from questionnaires given to 280 people working in 20 palm oil mills in North Sumatra Province. The sampling method used is simple random sampling and model estimation is performed using PLS regression algorithm and resampling bootstrapping method. The result shows that perceived usefulness has the biggest effect on the success of the ergonomic program, followed by perceived trust and perceived ease of use, which has a smaller effect. This study focuses on workers’ perception that needs to be considered for facing uncertain results in implementing an ergonomic program.

Many of those working on construction sites are exposed to demanding work loads; construction workers lift and carry heavy materials and work in awkward postures. Occupational injuries and accidents due to poor ergonomics are more common in the construction industry and many times lead to human tragedies, disrupt construction processes and adversely affect the cost, productivity, and the reputation of the construction industry. In Sweden, it is reported that concrete workers have the highest relative work-related musculoskeletal injury frequency. Therefore, the use of ergonomic production methods to prevent this can have a significant human, social and financial impact. Research introduced here presents a case study of comparative analyses of ergonomic situations for concrete workers performing concrete casting processes. Three different ergonomic risk assessment methods were used to assess the physical strain, hand-arm vibration and noise affects risks involved in concrete casting work tasks. The combination of technical and managerial factors results in a system where workers are as efficient and safe as possible during their work tasks, and thus, makes the construction work environment sustainable. The aim of our research is to find practical methods to evaluate and compare two different concrete casting methods from an ergonomic perspective. The focus is on the production of cast-in-place concrete bridge constructions where the traditional concrete casting method is compared with the SCC (Self-Compacting concrete) casting method. To be able to identify work-related musculoskeletal injury risks due to concrete casting work tasks, QEC (Quick Exposure Check for musculoskeletal risks), PLIBEL (Checklist for identification for Ergonomics Hazards) and ErgoSAM (Ergonomic production technology method) methods were used. Ergonomic risks analysis methods QEC, PLIBEL and ErgoSAM have all shown capabilities to evaluate construction work activities and thus determine whether a construction work activity constitutes a musculoskeletal risk to the worker or not before any ergonomic intervention is introduced. As a result the present ergonomic risks emanating from work methods used in the traditional concrete placing can be significantly reduced with the use of self-compacting concrete (SCC) that eliminates awkward work postures, noise and hand arm vibration, thereby reducing if not eliminating musculoskeletal injuries among concrete workers during their concrete casting work tasks.

Full textAbstract:
Wearable devices are pervasive solutions for increasing work efficiency, improving workers’ well-being, and creating interactions between users and the environment anytime and anywhere. Although several studies on their use in various fields have been performed, there are no systematic reviews on their utilisation in ergonomics. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to identify wearable devices proposed in the scientific literature for ergonomic purposes and analyse how they can support the improvement of ergonomic conditions. Twenty-eight papers were retrieved and analysed thanks to eleven comparison dimensions related to ergonomic factors, purposes, and criteria, populations, application and validation. The majority of the available devices are sensor systems composed of different types and numbers of sensors located in diverse body parts. These solutions also represent the technology most frequently employed for monitoring and reducing the risk of awkward postures. In addition, smartwatches, body-mounted smartphones, insole pressure systems, and vibrotactile feedback interfaces have been developed for evaluating and/or controlling physical loads or postures. The main results and the defined framework of analysis provide an overview of the state of the art of smart wearables in ergonomics, support the selection of the most suitable ones in industrial and non-industrial settings, and suggest future research directions.

ndustrial Engineering Sciencesischaracterized by the ability to design. Abilityof work system design with object ofmanufacturing and servicesindustrial. The work system design that still involves humans in operational work activities, absolutely requires ergonomic education model. Ergonomics is a multidisciplinary applied science that is described as science, technology and art to identify the design of tools and systems as well as the working environment of human ability, capability and limitations for the creation of healthy, safe, comfortable, and efficient working conditions and environments including the highest possible work productivity. The situation and condition of industry in the region is still dominated by the SME’ssector with minimalhightechnology and standardization. Therefore, it is necessary to design educational model of total ergonomic approach in the relevant Industrial Engineering Scientific Curriculum based on local wisdom in the region to support productivity improvement and progress of SME’ssector. This paper initiated the model and competence of educating the total ergonomic approach through the SHIP study (systemic, holistic, interdisciplinary, and participatory) and the application of Appropriate Technology based on local wisdom that is practical, simple, grounded and participatorytouches the human aspect in its proven work activities can help design work system, improve life quality worker and productivity of SME’s.

This study evaluated the knowledge and application of ergonomic principles as well as manifestation of pain by dental students at the Federal University of Maranhão. Forty-four students answered a questionnaire on ergonomic principles. Photographs of the clinical rounds were performed to evaluate the postures adopted, without the students knowing the moment of photographic registration, avoiding that they modified their posture. The relationship between theoretical knowledge and the applicability of ergonomics in dental setting was evaluated. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The Chi-square test analyzed the distribution of categorical variables among the evaluation instruments (α = 5%). Most of the participants adopted a satisfactory posture and presented knowledge about ergonomic postures, however, one can observe the poor positioning of the eyes and spine. 75% of the patients experienced pain in the body, being the spine (61.4%) and neck (40.9%) the most affected sites. The sample evaluated had good knowledge on ergonomic principles, but these were not adopted entirety, which may have led to the onset of pain.
