Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Ergonomics The science of fitting the job to the worker To enhance human performance Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Ergonomics Ergonomics is an attitude, A way of looking at the workplace Keep in mind that people , not machine are the sole source of producing products, fixing equipment and ensuring product quality. Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Need of Ergonomics Optimal performance Delta Human performance Hassle Ergonomics Pain WMSD Hare Ram Jha Musculo skeletal System Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Musculo skeletal System Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Trauma Bucket Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Trauma Bucket Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Work Related MSDs (WMSD) • Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) are MSDs that are caused or made worse by work methods and environment. They occur when the physical capabilities of the worker do not match the physical requirements of the job Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Affect of MSDs Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Affect of MSDs Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Productivity lost from Sick leaves Direct cost Insurance claim Indirect cost Hiring temporary employees, training Poor employees performance Can be minimized by Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Wellness @ Workplace Through Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Human Factor Engineering A tool for better human productivity Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Ergonomics can Reduce the risk of injury, fatigue and error Reduce absenteeism and disability Reduce the cost spent on health care Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Ergonomics can Improve the morale of the employees Improve employees health Improve productivity and quality Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha Ergonomics can Improve quality of work environment Increase profit Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha History and Etymology In the 5th century BC Greek civilization used ergonomic principles in the design of their tools, jobs, and workplaces. Early Egyptians Dynasties made tools, household equipment, among others that illustrated ergonomic principles. In the 19th century, Fredrick Taylor pioneered the “Scientific management" method. In the early 1900s to develop "Time and Motion Studies“ by Lillian Gilbreth and reduced the number of motions in bricklaying from 18 to 4.5, allowing bricklayers to increase their productivity from 120 to 350 bricks per hour. Ergonomics Hare Ram Jha History and Etymology World war II marked the development of new and complex machines and weaponry, and these made new demands on operators' cognition. The decisionmaking, attention, situational awareness and hand-eye coordination of the machine's operator became key in the success or failure of a task. It was observed that fully functional aircraft, flown by the best-trained pilots, still crashed. In 1943, Alphonse chapanis, a lieutenant in the U.S. Army, showed that this so-called "pilot error" could be greatly reduced when more logical and .differentiable controls replaced confusing designs in airplane cockpits. Murrell, at the 1949 meeting at the UK's admiralty, which led to the foundation of The ergonomics Society. The Indian Society of Ergonomics was established in 1983.
