Business case for implementing two ergonomic interventions at an electric power utility.
Ergonomics analysis of line workers in the electric power industry who work overhead on utility poles revealed some tasks for which less than 1% of the general population had sufficient strength to perform. During a 2-year study, a large Midwestern US electric utility provided a university with a team of represented workers and management. They evaluated, recommended, and monitored intervention...
متن کاملErgonomic interventions at Unimin
In 2004, management at Unimin’s Gleason, Tennessee, operation began implementing ergonomic interventions specifically targeted to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries (MSIs). Together with corporate and site management, Unimin identified worksite hazards and began to modify work practices and equipment. Some interventions were relatively simple and were implemented immediately. Others, s...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولImplementing Virtual Buffer for Electric Power Grids
The electric power grid is a vital network for every aspect of our life. The lack of buffer between generation and consumption makes the power grid unstable and fragile. While large scale power storage is not technically and economically feasible at present stage, we argue that a virtual buffer could be effectively implemented through a demand side management strategy built upon the concept of ...
متن کاملThe Productivity Consequences of Two Ergonomic Interventions
Pre-and post-intervention data on health outcomes, absenteeism, and productivity from a longitudinal, quasi-experimental design field study of office workers was used to evaluate the economic consequences of two ergonomic interventions. Researchers assigned individuals in the study to three groups: a group that received an ergonomically designed chair and office ergonomics training; a group tha...
