BACKGROUND: Activities performed by people in the meat processing industry are very repetitive, time-consuming, dangerous, and require long-term downtime during a shift (forced-static position). OBJECTIVES: This study aims to assess prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders working conditions among Polish Iranian workers fill this research gap. METHODS: A comparative analysis (MSDs) developed developing countries was conducted. After selecting target factories, data collected using Nordic...

Purpose. With reference to four minimally invasive surgery (MIS) cholecystectomies, the aims were (a) recognize factors influencing dominant wrist postures manifested by surgeon; (b) detect risk involved in maintaining deviated postures; (c) compare of surgeons while using laparoscopic tools. Methods. Video films recorded during live surgeries. The synchronized with joint angles obtained from wireless electrogoniometers placed on surgeon's hand. analysis was conducted for five tools used all...

A method worth paying attention is 5S method, which brings order discipline workplace. The article presents practical aspects implementation using five simple steps give real benefits a company. Particularly specific solutions can be applied at every stage indicated. Also innovative ways conducting internal audits are presented. In...

Abstract The aim of the following research it to provide assumptions for creating workflow efficiency model that can be implemented in repeatable production workstations. One main components this are human activities and their interactions with other elements working environment: artefacts. Recognition patterns behaviours within processes gives opportunity find critical points influence efficiency. subject is a process existing meat producing plant. method used recognizing activity was...

A comparison of 1-port, 2-port, 3-port, and 4-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy techniques from the point view workflow criteria was made to both identify specific components that can cause surgical disturbances indicate good bad practices. As a case study, cholecystectomies, including manual tasks interactions within teamwork members, were video-recorded analyzed on basis specially encoded information. The parameters for defined as follows: surgery time, tool hand activeness, operator's...

The motivation of research was poor quality working conditions in orthopedic practice which results from lack use ergonomics principles by medical staff. Hence, the objective to indicate most important determinants for creating high-quality operating room, particularly when performing procedures. As methodology, observations, video-registrations and interviews with professionals were conducted. Based on material, ergonomic workflow assessments examined. outcomes confirmed a problem low...

Abstract The aim of the article is to analyze activities performed manually in a meat processing enterprise context shaping ergonomic working conditions. Based on observational methods, including metric measurements workstations and an in-depth interview with employees enterprise, realized production process selected sausage product were recognized, particular emphasis manual work. On basis analyzes carried out use 3D SSPP software, groups identified that carry increased risk static load...
