摘要
本研究旨在填补印度翻车机操作员全身振动(WBV)暴露的研究空白,对翻车机操作的具体阶段进行全面调查。结果表明,59%的操作人员超过了下限,90.8%的操作人员暴露于振动水平超过了A(8)和VDV(8)值的下限。频率分析确定了与关键身体部位一致的峰值,证实了流行病学调查结果。统计分析(ANOVA)显示,不同活动组的白脑病毒暴露有显著差异(p p p
Assessment of whole-body vibration exposures among dumper operators in iron ore mines: a comparative investigation of haul truck activity.
This study aimed to fill the research gap on whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure of dumper operators in India, conducting a comprehensive investigation into specific phases of dumper operations. Results indicated that 59% of operators exceeded lower limits, with 90.8% exposed to vibration levels surpassing the lower limit for A(8) and VDV(8) values. Frequency analysis identified peaks aligning with crucial body parts, corroborating epidemiological findings. Statistical analysis (ANOVA) demonstrated significant differences in WBV exposure across activity groups (p < 0.001), dumper speeds (p < 0.001), and haul road conditions (p < 0.001). Optimising driver speed, improving haul road surfaces, and regular vehicle maintenance are some recommendations to reduce WBV exposure among dumper operators.
期刊介绍:
Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives.
The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
