Investigation of Cumulative Trauma Disorders in Manual Tasks - Case Study at Osram Sylvania, Inc. -

장기간의 작업으로 인한 손상 누적성 장애에 관한 연구 -Osram Sylvania, Inc.의 사례 연구-

The purpose of this paper is to present design recommendations intended to reduce the risk of cumulative trauma disorders(CTD) at the Osram Slvania, Inc. The CTD risk index score is a method which quantifies the risk factors to CTD incidence, namely extreme postures, high force elements, frequent damaging hand motions, and other miscellaneous factors. The risk index score quantified the jobs as a single composite value by weighting the scores for each risk factor. Jobs were prioritized for capital outlays in workstation redesign, and the factors of highest risk within each job could be identified. Three jobs which presented the greatest risk of CTD incidence were redesigned ergonomically.
