Comparison of Methods for Postural Assessment in the Operation of Agricultural Machinery

Abstract: The aim of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of the methods of ergonomics assessment RULA, REBA, OWAS and TOR-TOM, which the intent is to highlight similarities and differences in their use, during tillage operation with farm machinery. The study was conducted through an exploratory research in Boa Vista do Incra, RS, in August 2017, during soil preparation operation, with a tractor-subsoiler set. The operation was filmed over a period of 10 hours. After that, it was selected one hour of video, … Show more

“…The United States alone has more than 150,000 workers suffering from back injuries annually due to repetitive lifting of heavy objects using inappropriate postures. Hence, many studies have recently looked at designing automated ERA methods [37,46,6,41,39,22,33,32]. The most widely used methods in the industry are Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) [12] and European Assembly Worksheet (EAWS) [42].…”
