“…Each decision-maker was asked to evaluate the direct influence between any two human factors by means of integer scores from 0 to 4. Five non-negative square matrices X (1) , X (2) , X (3) , X (4) and X (5) (given in the Appendix A) were collected and then aggregated to obtain the direct-relation matrix A of order 16 (Table 4). Tables 5 and 6 respectively show the normalized direct-relation matrix D and the total relation matrix T. Lastly, Table 7 shows the values of r i + c i and r i − c i associated to the various factors, and the ranking of factors, obtained on the basis of their prominence, r i + c i , which collects the direct and indirect effects related to all the other factors.…”

“…Clerici et al [1] affirm that an organization is a plurality of "human elements", and risks often depends on organizational criticalities, whose reduction can be undertaken by implementing effective human resource management (HRM). In particular, HRM is defined as a system of structured procedures aimed at optimizing the manpower management in a company [2], with its workers being the most valuable assets of the organisation [3].

Human factors are intrinsically involved at virtually any level of most industrial/business activities, and may be responsible for several accidents and incidents, if not correctly identified and managed. Focusing on the significance of human behaviour in industry, this article proposes a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM)-based approach to support organizational risk assessment in industrial environments. The decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method is proposed as a mathematical framework to evaluate mutual relationships within a set of human factors involved in industrial processes, with the aim of highlighting priorities of intervention. A case study related to a manufacturing process of a real-world winery is presented, and the proposed approach is applied to rank human factors resulting from a previous organisational risk evaluation from which suitable inference engines may be developed to better support risk management.

“…Hal ini memberikan informasi bahwa aktivitas partisipasi ergonomi muncul dari kesadaran pekerja sendiri untuk selalu waspada dalam berbagai tindakan kerja meskipun pemilik tidak memfasilitasinya. Kendati demikian diperlukan unsur intervensi profesional dalam bidang ergonomi untuk menyeimbangkan antara aktivitas ergonomis dengan kelelamatan kerja, faslitas pendukung tempat kerja dan lingkungan sekitarnya (Boatca, 2015).…”

Application of Job Safety Analysis and Risk Score Methods to ImproveOccupational Safety and Health in the Printing, Sewing and Assembly Department of PT. PAI, Bandung (An Ergonomic Participatory Approach). The footwear industry problem lies in the working environment and facilities that do not meet the standards for the health and safety of workers, necessary improvements must be made. This research was used the questionnaire and observation to evaluate the activities of the work process. The EPPEQ questionnaire was used to evaluate the level of ergonomic participation in the activities examined. In addition the questionnaire, this research was also conducted observation in order to measure the risk level of the workplace and for improving the work system using PE (participatory ergonomics). The results showed that 3 workstations have high-risk levels, 4 stations have medium risk levels and 2 workstations have a low level of risk. The results of workers participation level using the EPPEQ ergonomics questionnaire showed that the level of ergonomic activity was fairly high, but based on the linear regression, the level of ergonomic activity does not differ in terms of the footwear workshop facilities, the work environment or the safety climate. Conclusion, there were 3 workstations with a high-risk score that should be immediately improved (the Glueing workstations, the Primering workstations, and the Leaching workstations). Specific improvements that need to be made are: First, for the Glueing workstation they include the use of APD and the addition of an air suction device, for the Primering workstation the use of APD and a Gleco Trap for liquid storage; Second, for the Laundering workstation the use of APD, and for the Emboss workstation the improvement consists of making additional buttons.

Masalah dalam industri sepatu adalah fasilitas dan lingkungan kerja belum memenuhi standar kesehatan dan keselamatan pekerja sehingga perlu dilakukan perbaikan. Instrumen penelitian kuesioner dan observasi untuk mengevaluasi kegiatan proses kerja. Kuesioner EPPEQ digunakan untuk mengevaluasi tingkat aktivitas ergonomi partisipasi. Selain menyebarkan kuesioner, penelitian juga melakukan observasi untuk pengukuran tingkat risiko tempat kerja dan melakukan perbaikan sistem kerja dengan menggunakan PE (participatory ergonomics). Hasil perhitungan 3 stasiun kerja yang mempunyai tingkat risiko tinggi, 4 stasiun mempunyai tingkat risiko sedang dan 2 stasiun kerja mempunyai tingkat risiko rendah. Hasil perhitungan tingkat ergonomi partisipasi pekerja menggunakan kuesioner EPPEQ menunjukkan aktivitas ergonomi yang cukup bagus, namun berdasarkan regresi linear tingkat aktivitas ergonomi tidak berbeda terhadap fasilitas workshop sepatu dan lingkungan kerja serta iklim keselamatan kerja. Disimpulkan bahwa ada 3 stasiun ke...

A thesis under a co-tutelle agreement between UNIPA and UPV within their respective programmes of doctorates in "PROF. ALFREDO PERIS (UPV) THE TUTORS PROF. ANTONELLA CERTA (UNIPA) PROF. JULIO BENÍTEZ (UPV) PROF. JOAQUÍN IZQUIERDO (UPV)To my father, my mother and Nino The rock upon which I stand ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Three years ago I undertook a long and difficult, but beautiful journey, called a double PhD. It has been so challenging and undoubtedly the most important personal achievement of my whole life so far. I compared myself with something I thought was much bigger than me. Actually, in order to accomplish it successfully, I just needed to fully involve my heart. I did it without saving my strengths. What I have learnt during my doctorate will remain with me forever. Not only did I further develop my professional skills and my attitude to scientific research, but above all I made real my passion for discovery. Discovering the world, meeting new people, appreciating diversity, considering various manners of working and living, learning new languages, facing my weaknesses and getting over them. All of the things listed above unquestionably influenced my personal development. And personal growth is an endless process. It goes without saying that this doctoral thesis is the result of all my efforts and love. I dedicate it… To my father and my mother, the most important people in my life. I wish I could be even half as good person and engineer as they are. All that I am I owe to my parents. To my brother Nino, who is for me the best example of courage and who has had right answers to my doubts since we were just children. To my grandma Wilma, a great woman to whom I owe most of my personality. To all my family, especially to my grandparents Maria and Mario, and to my cousins/sisters Paola, Luisa and Carla. To Antonella and Joaquín, my "academic parents" and continuous sources of inspiration, who have transmitted me all their passion for this incredible job and taken care of my personal and professional growth in every possible way. They made my horizon larger and pushed me to continuously challenge myself. I consider them as a true family, more life-mentors rather than professors, and I will be always aware of the fundamental part they play in my life. To Julio, who has been indispensable to carry out this thesis and carefully followed all the stages of its development, with endless competence and kindness. It has been a true privilege to work with such a source of knowledge as Julio is. To Professor Giacomo Galante, who first believed in me when I was an undergraduate student and, after having supervised my master thesis, introduced me to the University world. To Professor Mario Enea, who kindly and fully supported me during the whole duration of my doctorate studies. To Manu and Idel, who treat me as I was their little sister, giving me a lot of attention and dedicating a lot of their priceless time (days, weeks, months) to teach me loads of things. They guided me across unforgettable and thought-provoking internat...
