조선업종의 인간공학 프로그램 운영효과 분석

Abstract

Shipbuilding workers are potentially exposed to ergonomic hazards in the manufacturing process. The purpose of the study is to describe the impact of an ergonomics intervention study and the effectiveness of ergonomics program at a shipbuilding industry. This study portrays a implementation procedure of ergonomics program over a period of two years concerning ergonomic hazard analysis and improvement, along with medical management. After implementation of the ergonomic program, assembly productivity improved, the rate of accidental incidents decreased, and lost workdays decreased largely, as well as enhancing worker's satisfaction. The effectiveness of ergonomics program presented in this survey can be used to provide baseline information for prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in shipbuilding industry.
