Mine Plan and Mine Design - Method of Extraction of Ore
THE ROLE OF ERGONOMICS IN MAN, MACHINE AND ENVIRONMENT
INTRODUCTION
- Technology for designing machine to guard from the obvious hazards and optimizing system performance.
- A scientific approach to solve problems of designing and constructing things, which people are expected to use in the job, so the user will be more efficient and less likely to make errors resulting in accidents.
- The Design of machine for safety in the job and in the environment is a major goal of ergonomics
WHAT IS ERGONOMICS?
- The word ergonomics is derived from two Greek words – Ergon and Nomes, which together mean “Laws of Work”.
- The study of workers characteristics for the appropriate design of their tools and work environment.
- Ergonomics is about the fit between people, their work activities, equipment, work systems, and environment to ensure that workplaces are safe, comfortable, efficient, and that productivity is not compromised
