Furthermore, by developing risk\u0000 assessments, workplaces can reduce accidents and improve the safety and\u0000 healthiness of working conditions. Since a lot of time and resources are\u0000 used for risk assessment at workplaces, the assessment should be efficient\u0000 and successful. With risk assessment, companies can simultaneously improve\u0000 job productivity and competitiveness and support the preservation of\u0000 workers' ability to work. Previous studies have suggested that risk\u0000 assessment development needs include, for example, the development of\u0000 resourcing and improvement of communication, competence and knowledge. This\u0000 study aims to produce knowledge of Finnish workplaces' risk assessment\u0000 development needs related to safety and health at work in order to better\u0000 meet the company's own needs. The material was acquired with a new\u0000 questionnaire that aids organizations in finding out personnel's perceptions\u0000 of the practices and development needs of occupational safety risk\u0000 assessment. Based on the responses, development targets can be identified,\u0000 and risk assessment skills in different parts of an organization can be\u0000 compared. The questionnaire can be used to determine, for example, whether\u0000 the objectives of risk assessment have been understood within an\u0000 organization. The questionnaire includes both closed and open-ended\u0000 questions. The open-ended questions clarify previous selections and for\u0000 example, suggest ways to arrange training to an organization. The\u0000 questionnaire was part of a larger project, and the questions were based on\u0000 previous phases of the project. Four companies piloted the questionnaire.\u0000 After receiving feedback, a few modifications were made. The process and\u0000 methods of creating the questionnaire will be described in more detail in\u0000 the article. The final questionnaire was sent to three organizations. The\u0000 first is a part of a public organization, the second is a private company in\u0000 the transport sector, and the third organization provides maintenance\u0000 services for industrial companies. The companies' contact persons forwarded\u0000 the link to the questionnaire respondents, and 348 responses were received.\u0000 The results were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The\u0000 revealed development needs generally concerned, among others, the planning\u0000 of risk assessment, which includes for instance risk assessment goals and\u0000 frameworks planned by the organizations. Regarding the definition of\u0000 measures, the determination of risk assessment and management was raised.

The devices are named suggestively: wearable chairless chair. What\u0000 all these products have in common is an additional support behind the heel.\u0000 The additional support, a ground contact behind the heel, appears to add\u0000 more stability and at the same time increases the complexity of the product,\u0000 the weight and the difficulty of wearing it.The research assumes that there\u0000 is no need for additional support nor ground contact. The working method\u0000 consisted of analyzing products on the market. The analysis was followed by\u0000 understanding the functioning and the biomechanical cause for the existence\u0000 of the posterior support. The analysis was carried out by relating the human\u0000 silhouette, its body volumes and geometry, to the shape and structure of the\u0000 devices. We focused on the side view because it is the one that gives the\u0000 asymmetric behavior of the body volumes. In the biomechanical analysis we\u0000 kept the premises of locating the center of mass, of spatial summation of\u0000 the partial centers of mass (the head, the trunk and the limbs) as well as\u0000 the reference to the ground support polygon of the soles. Biomechanical and\u0000 static analysis was followed by the identification and isolation of that\u0000 component of body geometry responsible for the need of posterior support.\u0000 The analysis was then repeated in its absence. It was necessary to correct\u0000 the geometry of the body and change the degree of flexion of the knees and\u0000 ankles. The verification of the hypothesis has been achieved by developing a\u0000 device that corresponds to a body geometry, does not provide posterior\u0000 support and at the same time eliminates orthostatic muscle stress. Tests\u0000 were carried out with primitive mock-ups and prototypes, with briefly\u0000 articulated parts that meet the condition of being wearable through\u0000 permanent contact with the leg and the thigh. The results were encouraging\u0000 from the point of view of stability but were unsatisfactory from the point\u0000 of view of the comfort offered by the primitive prototypes. Refinement of\u0000 the prototype was achieved by developing the design of the thigh and leg\u0000 interface components as well as the design of the flexion locking subsystem.\u0000 Of particular concern was the contact between the product and the surface of\u0000 the thigh and calf. Refined in this way the prototype unquestionably\u0000 preserved the stability of the human subject and presented an improvement in\u0000 comfort criteria.In conclusion, the research confirms the hypothesis. The no\u0000 ground contact prototype allows a posture in which orthostatic stress is\u0000 avoided, with good stability and with enough containment to be wearable.","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128190055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tasks\u0000 associated with its execution require advanced training, expertise,\u0000 experience, and a collaborative Navigation Team. Furthermore, naval\u0000 operations demand higher readiness, accuracy, and resilience due to\u0000 additional constraints. The response to these challenges has been\u0000 integrating further automation and information systems. However, the\u0000 effectiveness of innovative trends had been questioned by recent naval\u0000 accidents like those involving the US and Norwegian naval ships.In bridge\u0000 crews, collaboration is progressively more dependent on technological means\u0000 since they are the information sources, and team members need to share and\u0000 exchange different information formats besides audio. Furthermore, the\u0000 increasing number of control functions and information systems required to\u0000 strengthen the bridge situational awareness came with an additional cost to\u0000 human operators. Therefore, navigation teams need further assistance in this\u0000 challenging context to achieve a consistent and coherent situational\u0000 awareness regarding the integrated systems in use, comprising technological\u0000 and human agents' activities. The proposed solution under development is a\u0000 Collaborative Decision Support System (C-DSS) fitted to the vessels' bridge\u0000 systems requirements to reduce the cognitive workload, enhance collaboration\u0000 between team members and information systems, and strengthen team\u0000 situational awareness and sensemaking.Several studies addressed the need to\u0000 provide enhanced interfaces with higher levels of abstraction\u0000 representation, adjusted to the changed role of human operators, easily\u0000 adaptable; improved collaboration between humans and automated agents, and\u0000 superior information integration from internal and external environments.\u0000 The most critical property of interfaces is to simplify the \"discovery of\u0000 the meaningfulness\" of the problem space. World's representation should\u0000 include the relevant and critical elements tailored to the task, augmenting\u0000 the interaction experience, increasing the decision-making skill, and\u0000 assisting the discovery of significant phenomena.

In this context, 'reprocessing' means a cleaning,\u0000 disinfection or sterilisation process carried out on a used device in order\u0000 to allow its safe reuse. A typical IPC responsibility assignments matrix\u0000 includes healthcare facilities, manufacturers of reprocessing agents and\u0000 equipment, and manufacturers of medical devices. This project aims to\u0000 analyze and validate the Instructions for Use (IFUs) for reprocessing of\u0000 ultrasound (US) probes, from the point of view of the usability, in\u0000 accordance with IEC 62366-1:2015+AMD1:2020 and IEC TR 62366-2:2016.US probes\u0000 enable a wide range of applications, with the level of infection risk based\u0000 on the Spaulding Classification, going from noncritical and semi-critical\u0000 (intact skin and mucous membrane contacts respectively), to critical\u0000 (intraoperative). In addition to the diverse clinical procedures, the risk\u0000 of contamination depends also on the variability in the healthcare\u0000 environment and user knowledge and expertise.Safe reprocessing of an US\u0000 probe requires that its IFUs, considered as part of the user interface, are\u0000 clear, legible, and complete. For this reason, to ensure their correct\u0000 execution and workflow, a usability testing for the reprocessing IFUs is\u0000 performed. According to the IEC 62366 standards, such test consists of two\u0000 steps: formative and summative evaluations.

This paper reports a trial of intervention experiment of the\u0000 online rehabilitation exercise, which was conducted as a 12-time event for\u0000 three months. A subject, a female in 78 years old with left hemiplegia who\u0000 desires more rehabilitation opportunities, joined about 45-minute online\u0000 exercise sessions in addition to regular outpatient rehabilitations. She\u0000 exercised by watching a model exercise on a tablet screen that is connected\u0000 to the nursing facility. The model exercises were performed by an\u0000 occupational therapist for the first four times and by on-site care workers\u0000 for the rest. A manual with notes on exercise instruction was distributed to\u0000 the workers. The instructor change and the manual are for the future regular\u0000 operation of the service.

However, in\u0000 public discussion and in generic understanding, it is not clear what HF/E or\u0000 ergonomics means nor who are HF/E specialists or ergonomists, what do they\u0000 do and where do they work.This study aims to contribute to the above\u0000 presented discussion. A questionnaire was conducted to collect\u0000 internationally HF/E experts' (n = 8) opinions on proactive designing of\u0000 work and work environments. Beside the questionnaire, to gain the same\u0000 understanding nationally, qualitative interviews for Finnish professionals\u0000 (n = 9) were conducted with a semi-structured interview form. The questions\u0000 in both phases were based on a handbook, “People in designing work and the\u0000 working environment - a handbook for the proactive planning of work and\u0000 design of working environments” (later “handbook”), commissioned by the\u0000 Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. The handbook aimed to offer\u0000 tools for proactive planning of work and designing working environments. In\u0000 this study, related to the questionnaire, the focus is on the questions\u0000 “What is your image about who are doing the planning of work and design of\u0000 work environment at workplaces?”, “Who are responsible for taking care that\u0000 all needed actions for planning and designing the work will be done?”, “Who\u0000 are responsible for the whole process (designing of work)?”, “Who are\u0000 responsible for the needed knowledge (designing of work)?”, and “How would\u0000 you define the role and tasks of a HFE professional in this kind of process\u0000 (designing of work)?”. Related to interviews, the focus is on the generic\u0000 views and comments about the design process and the roles in it, inspired by\u0000 the discussion about the handbook. The materials were analyzed by\u0000 categorization.In the interviews, the overall opinion was that there is no\u0000 clear picture of who actually is an HF/E specialist, how it is defined and\u0000 who are they specifically in Finland, which may lead to false impressions.","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125014710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
