Download or read book Report on Alpha and End User Testing of the Level 1 Ergonomics Methodology Guide Supplement for Warehouse and Service Areas written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the results of usability, reliability and validity tests applied to the Level I Ergonomics Methodology Guide Supplement for Warehouse and Service Areas. Testing was performed in two phases. In phase one (Alpha test), five experiences ergonomists used the methodology to evaluate ten representative United States Air Force (USAF) warehouse and service jobs and develop recommendations to eliminate identified ergonomics hazards. The ergonomists also participated in a focus session to recommend enhancements to the guide. In phase two (end-user test), the exercise was repeated by eight USAF bioenvironmental engineering technicians. Inter-rater agreement on the presence/absence of specific ergonomic hazards ranged from slight to fair. Agreement was higher among experienced ergonomists than among USAF technicians. Technicians found the methodology highly usable. The average time to complete and score the hazard identification checklist was 23.0 minutes, and the average time to select corrective actions for identified hazards was 13.6 minutes. The results suggest the methodology can enable relatively inexperienced USAF technicians to develop the same types of solutions for ergonomic hazards that an experienced ergonomist would recommend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Level I Ergonomics Methodology Guide Supplement for Warehouse and Service Areas extends the applicability of previously developed United States Air Force (USAF) methodologies for the assessment and correction of ergonomic hazards to typical warehouse and service jobs. The Guide Supplement contains 20 case studies that describe risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders associated with warehouse and service work, and the control measures that can be used to eliminate or reduce these risk factors. The Guide Supplement is intended to be used by USAF Bioenvironmental Engineering technicians with minimal experience in ergonomics, to resolve potential ergonomic problems at their installations.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the results of a pilot test to assess the reliability, sensitivity, validity, and practicality of the Level I Ergonomics Assessment Methodology Guide for Maintenance/Inspection Work Areas. Overall, the pilot test provided evidence to indicate that the developed Level I Methodology assists technicians in arriving at similar solutions as would be selected by an ergonomist for maintenance/inspection tasks. Solutions selected by the technicians agreed with the solutions selected by a consensus of ergonomists 61% of the time. Task duration appeared to play a large role in risk determination discrepancies between the Level I Methodology (both technicians and consensus ergonomists) and the Gold Standard ergonomist. High duration tasks were more likely to be rated high risk by the Level I Methodology, whereas jobs with multiple, moderate duration tasks were more likely to be rated medium risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine carried out a study mandated by Congress and sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide an assessment of several issues related to noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus associated with service in the Armed Forces since World War II. The resulting book, Noise and Military Service: Implications for Hearing Loss and Tinnitus, presents findings on the presence of hazardous noise in military settings, levels of noise exposure necessary to cause hearing loss or tinnitus, risk factors for noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus, the timing of the effects of noise exposure on hearing, and the adequacy of military hearing conservation programs and audiometric testing. The book stresses the importance of conducting hearing tests (audiograms) at the beginning and end of military service for all military personnel and recommends several steps aimed at improving the military services' prevention of and surveillance for hearing loss and tinnitus. The book also identifies research needs, emphasizing topics specifically related to military service.
