Analyse der Belastungs- und Beanspruchungssituation beim Arbeiten mit handgefuehrten, einachsigen Arbeitsgeraeten fuer die Bodenbearbeitung und Ableitung von technischen und organisatorischen Gestaltungsmassnahmen Abschlussbericht

Abstract

The project under review was dedicated to the description of critical loads and stresses on professional gardeners and hobby gardeners using hand-operated rotary cultivators. The load and stress situations were assessed as a function of factors related to the implements and to the work which is done using them. While loads were measured and evaluated by Fraunhofer-Institut fuer Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation (IAO), Stuttgart, stresses were analyzed by the Department of Ergonomics at the Hohenheim University. Physiological stress analyses were competed questioning the users about their subjective stress sensations. Technical measures for reduction of the loads and stresses on users were developed on the basis of the evaluated data. Weak points as regards safe and ergonomic handling were analyzed in addition. The detected design deficiencies lead to measures which reduce mental stresses and increase safety while working.
