There are people working everywhere: at home (cooking, cleaning, renovating), in stores (cashier, sales, stocking inventory), on the road (drivers, garbage collection, mail delivery, firefighting), in offices, restaurants, hospitals, libraries, farms, etc. Focus on a specific task a person needs to perform as part of their overall job (this is for someone whose job has many different activities or tasks) or on a particular work station (this is for someone who does most of his/her work at one location). The following are signs that there may be ergonomic problems in a work environment: workers are complaining, frequently absent, or ill (due to exposure in the work environment); there are accidents and possibly injuries
The project must include a discussion of
Ergonomic assessment of the original work environment
What are the ergonomic problems?
How are workers affected by these problems?
What can be done to remedy these ergonomic problems?
Ergonomic assessment of the modified/improved work environment
The final report is a complete description of the project done. It should be presented in the form of a technical report (as outlined in the Technical Writing course) or in the form of a scientific paper (as in a scientific journal). For guidelines on how to write a technical report or scientific paper see the separate Moodle posting Technical writing. Project reports should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words. You are the author of the project.
