  1. STANDARDS & SOCIAL ASPECTS

  2. Outline • ISO standards • ISO/TC 159 • Training • Health information • Evaluating ergonomic interventions

  3. Developing ISO Standards • 250 technical committees • Technical Committee No. 159 (ISO/TC 159)Ergonomics advisory committee • Advises in: • General ergonomics principles • Anthropometry & biomechanics • Ergonomics of human-system interaction • Ergonomics of the physical environment

  4. ISO/TC 159 • Enhance health, safety & well-being of users (and) …meet overall performance • Prepare standards in the field of ergonomics ..for ergonomics & efficient products under the conditions of free trade • Improve usability of products • Deliver a consistent set of ergonomics requirements as a reliable basis for world-wide machine design.

  5. Training, Experience & Skill Development (1) • Training Principles • Workplace training is ongoing • Choose appropriate training method for required outcome • e.g. physical skill training V knowledge training • Utilise principles of adult learning • Make training relevant • Build on previous knowledge/experience • Cater for different learning styles • Cater for different cultural and language backgrounds

  6. Training, Experience & Skill Development (2) • Conduct a training needs analysis prior to training, and address: • Organisational requirements • What training, where, when • Task/job requirements • Skills/abilities required to perform task/job • Personal requirements • Determine training needs of individual trainees.

  7. Training, Experience & Skill Development (3) • Types of training • Knowledge based • On-the-job • Simulator • Part-task • Team-based • Refresher • Others? **why & how

  8. Health Information (1) • Duty of Care • Employers have responsibility & duty of care for employees • Identify all relevant hazards • Assess the risk • Develop risk control strategy • Monitor effectiveness ASCC

  9. Health Information (2) Risk Management BP

  10. Health Information (3) • Supervision & Records • Measuring Health & Illness • Health surveillance • Ergonomics surveillance • Injury statistics • ‘Near miss’ reports • Hazard reports

  11. Measuring the Impact of Ergonomics (1) • PPIs • Commitment • Documentation • Purchasing • Safe Working systems • Identify, report & correct • Monitor, record & review • Skills & competency standards

  12. Measuring the Impact of Ergonomics (2) • NPIs • Injury/illness rates • Programme evaluation • Strategic planning/organisational goals • KPIs • Programme audits • Accident/incident investigation • Cost-benefit models • e/ee work hour/year • Salary/wages cost/hour worked • e/ee turnover & training costs • Productivity & product/service quality loss • Cost of intervention implementation

  13. Summary • ISO standards • ISO/TC 159 • Training • Health information • Evaluating ergonomic interventions
