Investigation of Musculoskeletal Disorders and its Relevant Factors Using Quick Exposure Check (QEC) Method among Seymareh Hydropower Plant Workers
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most important problems in advanced and industrialized countries particularly in manufacturing companies. The main objective of this study is to determine work- related musculoskeletal disorders and its related risk factors among Seymareh hydropower plant workers. Determination of disorders and its relevant factors are one the most leading basis f...
متن کاملA Practical Method for the Assessment of Work-related Musculoskeletal Risks - Quick Exposure Check (qec)
A newer exposure tool has been developed for health and safety practitioners to assess the exposure to risks for work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The tool is based on the practitioners’ needs for such a tool and “state of the art” research findings. QEC has been tested, modified and validated based upon various simulated and practical tasks, with the help of up to 150 practitioners. The ...
متن کاملThe development of the Quick Exposure Check (QEC) for assessing exposure to risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
This paper describes the development and evaluation of the Quick Exposure Check (QEC), which is an observational tool developed for Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) practitioners to assess exposure to risks for work-related musculoskeletal disorders and provide a basis for ergonomic interventions. The tool is based on epidemiological evidence and investigations of OSH practitioners' aptitud...
متن کاملIdentification and assessment of human errors among tower crane operators using SHERPA and CREAM techniques
Introduction: Cranes are of the major causes of accidents in the construction industries. As human error mostly causes crane accidents, this study aims to investigate the human errors of tower crane operators in the construction projects using SHERPA and CREAM techniques. Material and Method: In this research, first, all of the tasks of the tower crane operator were identified and analyzed. Th...
متن کاملExposure assessment in different occupational groups at a hospital using Quick Exposure Check (QEC) - a pilot study.
In order to test the feasibility and sensitivity of the ergonomic exposure assessment tool Quick Exposure Check (QEC), a pilot-study was conducted. The aim was to test QEC in different occupational groups to compare the exposure in the most common work task with the exposure in the work task perceived as the most strenuous for the neck/shoulder region, and to test intra-observer reliability. On...
