Use of a short questionnaire in occupational health to advise on prevention priorities NOETUDE/C2013-151 | 2013

Objective: To give a support to the opinions recorded during the workers' mandatory visits to their occupational physicians (OP) and show that this helps to build prevention strategies.
Method: A short form, recto-verso A4 sheet, questionnaire including…
Movement variability highlighted during an assembly activity ET2014-001/C2015-098 | 2015

Movement variability is often neglected when analysing work situations. It is also practically ignored when designing work situations, designers being focused on the aim of defining standard procedures that minimize production cycle times…
Assessment of physical workload: muscular activity vs. resultant external force NOETUDE/C2015-099 | 2015

Our study compared muscular activity and resultant external force measurements during a clip fitting activity. Clips were inserted with two methods: with bare hands and with a pneumatic tool. Measurements were compared with the thresholds…
Effects of artifacts in a repetitive light assembly task on muscular activity according to age and work rate constraints C.5/1.049/C2015-100 | 2015

Time constraints can be particularly stressful for older workers in repetitive work. Opportunities for work rate regulation could offer a way of dealing with production variations. The aim of this laboratory study was to investigate the effects…
Effect of time constraint on performance speed of a repetitive assembly task according to age C.5/1.049/C2015-097 | 2015

Repetitive work at required pace, as observed on assembly lines, is often characterized by reduced amounts of temporal margin of maneuver (TMM). Various epidemiological studies have shown that working under time constraints is particularly…
How much force do you need to do it? NOETUDE/C2013-171 | 2013

For ergonomical, purpose, we looked at posture and vertical force applied on a workstation when doing a standing repetitive assembly task at different rhythm and as a matter of age. These two factors seem to increase the vertical force used to make…
Movement variability and digital human models: development of a demonstrator taking the effects of muscular fatigue into account. ET2014-001/C2015-122 | 2015

Movement variability is an essential characteristic of human movement: the same motor task is never performed in exactly the same way twice. This variability is related to the numerous redundancies in the human locomotor system, and depends…
A human-like dynamic Digital Human Model controller for ergonomic assessment of workstations ET2014-001/C2014-053 | 2014

Digital humans are software tools used for work equipment design. They can simulate the future workers’ activity and assess the workplace ergonomics. They therefore offer genuine advantages when prevention (safety and health) is to be integrated…
Physical workload of garbage collectors in two organization modes: one loader vs. two loaders NOETUDE/C2015-080 | 2015

Garbage collection is physically demanding work and is usually performed by a crew composed of one driver and two loaders (two-loader organization, “TL”). French companies have recently introduced a new work organization mode, reducing the workforce…
Musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. Work and individual risk factors NOETUDE/C2013-152 | 2013

Objective: To relate functional capacities, work strains and upper limb musculoskeletal disorders (ulMSD) to define the content of a work analysis which allows an effective ulMSD prevention strategy.
Methods: A study was conducted in 3 factories…
