Ergonomically designed workplaces in leather cutting plant

Namen oblikovanja dela je prilagoditev delovnih mest, izdelkov, delovnih sredstev in delovnih postopkov obliki in gradnji človeškega telesa, telesnim meram, življenjskim dogajanjem v telesu, duševnim pojavom in gibalnim možnostim izvajalca dela. S tem želimo vsekakor razbremeniti delavca ter mu zagotoviti udobno in prijetno delovno okolje, kar bo imelo za posledico zadovoljnega delavca in večjo gospodarsko korist za podjetje. V članku je izvedena raziskava dela na delovnih mestih pri krojenju usnja in na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov so podani predlogi izboljšav. Raziskava na sistematičen način ugotavlja obremenitve in obremenjenosti delavca zaradi delovne naloge, zaradi delovnega okolja, toplotnih obremenitev, obremenitev vida in obremenitev zaradi hrupa. S prav tako ugotovljenim ergonomskim koeficientom pa smo dali možnost za izračun pravilne norme, ki upošteva dovoljene obremenjenosti delavca.The aim of work design is to adapt workplaces, products, working means and working processes to humans, i. e. to the dimensions of a human body, vital processes in the body, psychical conditions and movement possibilities of operatives. An operative should be relieved of stresses and provided with a comfortable and pleasant working environment. This will result in a more satisfied operative and higher economic benefits for the enterprise. The article investigates workplaces in a leather cutting plant. Improvements in work place design are suggested on the basis of the obtained results. A systematic way is used to investigate stresses and strains the operatives are exposed to during performance of their tasks. The stresses induced by a working environment are heat, visual stresses and noise stresses. The ergonomic coefficient that considers the allowed operatives\u27 strains is suggested for the calculation of the right working standard
