1. Firefighters' physical work capacity
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to identify valid, simple, and inexpensive physical tests that can be used for evaluation of firefighters’ physical work capacity. Paper I included fulltime- and part-time firefighters (n = 193), aged 20-60 years. LÄS MER
2. Virtual and Physical Methods for Efficient Ergonomics Risk Assessments - A Development Process for Application in Car Manufacturing
Sammanfattning : Work-related disorders and sick leave are well-known common problems in the manufacturing industry. Workrelateddisorders cost both society and the manufacturing industry huge amounts of money every year as aconsequence of poor working environment and assembly-unfriendly products. LÄS MER
3. Ergonomics risk assessment methods for creating healthy work environments
Sammanfattning : Risk assessments of ergonomic conditions in pre-production and in field are necessary to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders and to increase productivity and quality. Methods for such assessments include simulations, direct measurements and observations. LÄS MER
4. Assessment and design of industrial manual handling to reduce physical ergonomics hazards : – use and development of assessment tools
Sammanfattning : Despite efforts of reducing harmful physical ergonomics exposures related to manual handling, the occurrence of heavy or repetitive manual handling, and non-neutral postures is high in many occupational sectors. To reduce these exposures, interventions and job design strategies can utilize risk assessment. LÄS MER
5. Methods to assess physical load at work : With a focus on the neck and upper extremities
Sammanfattning : To prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), useful, reliable and valid methods for assessing physical workload and risks for MSDs are needed. Ergonomists often assess work by short visual observations without a specific tool. LÄS MER
