optimal Ergonomics for laparoscopic surgery in minimally invasive surgery suites a review and guidelines
Surgical Endoscopy and Other Interventional Techniques, 2009Co-Authors: W J H J Meijerink, C. Hoff, E. R. Totté, J. P.e.n. PierieAbstract:Background With minimally invasive surgery (MIS), a man–machine environment was brought into the operating room, which created mental and physical challenges for the operating team. The science of Ergonomics analyzes these challenges and formulates guidelines for creating a work environment that is safe and comfortable for its operators while effectiveness and efficiency of the process are maintained. This review aimed to formulate the ergonomic challenges related to monitor positioning in MIS. Background and guidelines are formulated for optimal ergonomic monitor positioning within the possibilities of the modern MIS suite, using multiple monitors suspended from the ceiling.

Surgical Endoscopy and Other Interventional Techniques, 2009Co-Authors: M J Van Det, C. Hoff, E. R. Totté, W J H J Meijerink, J. P.e.n. PierieAbstract:With minimally invasive surgery (MIS), a man–machine environment was brought into the operating room, which created mental and physical challenges for the operating team. The science of Ergonomics analyzes these challenges and formulates guidelines for creating a work environment that is safe and comfortable for its operators while effectiveness and efficiency of the process are maintained. This review aimed to formulate the ergonomic challenges related to monitor positioning in MIS. Background and guidelines are formulated for optimal ergonomic monitor positioning within the possibilities of the modern MIS suite, using multiple monitors suspended from the ceiling. All evidence-based experimental ergonomic studies conducted in the fields of laparoscopic surgery and applied Ergonomics for other professions working with a display were identified by PubMed searches and selected for quality and applicability. Data from ergonomic studies were evaluated in terms of effectiveness and efficiency as well as comfort and safety aspects. Recommendations for individual monitor positioning are formulated to create a personal balance between these two ergonomic aspects. Misalignment in the eye–hand–target axis because of limited freedom in monitor positioning is recognized as an important ergonomic drawback during MIS. Realignment of the eye–hand–target axis improves personal values of comfort and safety as well as procedural values of effectiveness and efficiency. Monitor position is an important ergonomic factor during MIS. In the horizontal plain, the monitor should be straight in front of each person and aligned with the forearm–instrument motor axis to avoid axial rotation of the spine. In the sagittal plain, the monitor should be positioned lower than eye level to avoid neck extension.

an ergonomic program in a chemical plant of rhodia solvay in brazil
Congress of the International Ergonomics Association, 2018Co-Authors: Valmir AzevedoAbstract:Since 2002, an ergonomic program, assumed by the management of the industrial site, including the participation of employees, being done comes to identify, analyze, solve and control ergonomic risk factors at work. The steps of the ergonomic process are: 1. training of the employees in Ergonomics (main concepts, risk factors identification, simplified and some advanced methods of ergonomic analysis, record activities/tasks; discussion and choice of solutions, action plan, implementation of solution, follow-up); 2. formation of the working group by plant; 3. identification of activities with potential risk to cause damage to health; 4. ergonomic analysis of activities/tasks at workplace and photo/filming of them; 5. discution of collected data, seeing photos/films and classification of risk degree, in group; 6. discussion and choice of solutions in group; 7. elaboration of technical report; 8. fill indicator «ergostatus» ; 9. elaboration of action plan by the team of the plant; 10. implementation of solution; 11. follow-up after implementation of solution; 12. update the indicator. The main achievements were: office furniture adequacy; labs furniture and practices adequacy; elimination of manual lifting to loads >20 kg; mounting of several mechanical lifting load devices; installation of force reduction devices in valves; automation of processes (ex.: filling and charging barrels at logistic; silica amorphous packing); improvement of management of equipments (forklifts in logistic); the initiative of each area or plant to identify and eliminate ergonomic risk factors (nowadays each area or plant has an employee in charge of Ergonomics issues).

Grassroots Ergonomics: Initiating an Ergonomics program utilizing participatory techniques
Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2001Co-Authors: D. M. ZalkAbstract:The introduction of Ergonomics programs throughout the world requires an easy to understand and inexpensive process. Participatory ergonomic intervention techniques have proven to be beneficial in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. The participatory approach to Ergonomics has also been found to be a useful application within industrialized (developed) countries and industrially developing countries (IDCs). Grassroots Ergonomics principles utilize expertise within a workforce that focuses on participatory Ergonomics interpretations of quantitative and qualitative risk and exposure assessment information that in turn results in a peer-developed Ergonomics training. Regardless of the intricacy of the exposure assessment tools, workers should fully assist in gathering and analyzing data, then in identifying and implementing solutions. A coordinated and multidisciplinary application of this approach within IDCs would succeed in the creation and sharing of job-specific Ergonomics training information for high physical exposure professions, such as agriculture, fishing, forestry, mining, and small-scale enterprises, to initiate Ergonomics programs regionally.
