摘要

背景屠宰行业的工作由于高度的职业机械接触而增加了肩部疾病的风险。外骨骼等辅助设备已被开发出来以减少机械接触,但很少有研究调查外骨骼在工作场所使用时的可行性。研究目的在丹麦的一家屠宰场,探讨管理人员和工人对使用肩部外骨骼的期望和经验,并评估其与现有辅助设备("起重手套")相比的可行性。方法在为期 5 个月的实地研究中,比较了工人对使用肩部外骨骼的期望和体验,以及使用提举手套和不使用任何辅助设备工作的情况。数据收集采用了半结构化访谈、问卷调查和现场观察等方法。一些管理人员还期望工人可以处理更多的重量/生产更多的产品,并减少工作轮换的需要。工人们表示外骨骼可以 "挺直身体 "并减少劳损,但也有一些工人认为外骨骼没有提供任何支撑,或者认为穿戴外骨骼太费时间。这可能会影响对屠宰场工作中使用肩部外骨骼可行性的评估。为了提高外骨骼的可行性,必须说明不同的期望,并允许在实施过程中根据个人情况进行调整。

Using a shoulder exoskeleton in slaughterhouse work: Expectations, experiences, and feasibility

Background

Work in the slaughterhouse industry increase the risk of shoulder disorders due to high occupational mechanical exposures. Assistive devices, such as exoskeletons, have been developed to reduce the mechanical exposures, but few studies have investigated exoskeleton's feasibility, when used in a workplace setting.

Objectives

The objective was to explore managers' and workers' expectations and experiences related to using a shoulder exoskeleton, and to evaluate its feasibility compared to an existing assistive device (a ‘lifting glove’) at a Danish slaughterhouse.

Participants

The participants included 26 production line workers and their managers at a packaging department at a large slaughterhouse facility.

Methods

In a 5-month field study, data on worker's expectations and experiences of using a shoulder exoskeleton, was compared to a lifting glove and to working without any assistive device. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and on-site observations.

Results

Expectations were that shoulder exoskeletons would reduce the mechanical exposure and strain in workers. Some managers also expected that workers could handle more weight/produce more and that the need for job rotation could be reduced. Workers reported the exoskeleton to ‘straighten the body’, and reduced strain, but e others experienced no perceived support or found donning and doffing too time consuming.

Conclusion

We found different expectations as to what the shoulder exoskeleton should achieve. This could influence the evaluation of the feasibility of using a shoulder exoskeleton in slaughterhouse work. To facilitate the feasibility of exoskeletons it is important to explicate different expectations and to allow for individual tailoring in its implementation.

期刊介绍: The journal publishes original contributions that add to our understanding of the role of humans in today systems and the interactions thereof with various system components. The journal typically covers the following areas: industrial and occupational ergonomics, design of systems, tools and equipment, human performance measurement and modeling, human productivity, humans in technologically complex systems, and safety. The focus of the articles includes basic theoretical advances, applications, case studies, new methodologies and procedures; and empirical studies.
