Ergonomics, and occupational health and safety in the oil industry: a managers' response

An adaptive neural network algorithm for assessment and improvement of job satisfaction with respect to HSE and ergonomics program: The case of a gas refinery

“…Various studies have shown positive influences of applying ergonomic rules to the workplace including machine, job and environmental design (Azadeh, Fam, Khoshnoud, and Nikafrouz, 2008a;Ayoub, 1990a,b;Blanchard and Fabrychy, 1998, pp. 112e123;Shikdar and Sawaqed, 2004). Studies in ergonomics have also produced data and instructions for industrial applications (Blanning, 1984;Bryden and Hudson, 2005;Burri and Helander, 1991).…”

A unique algorithm for the assessment and improvement of job satisfaction by resilience engineering: Hazardous labs

“…Some studies have been conducted in the context of ergonomics that show positive effects of applying ergonomic rules to workplace (Ayoub, 1990;Blanchard and Fabrychy, 1990;Shikdar and Sawaqed, 2004). The effective application of ergonomics in workplace can lead to a balance between human operators and task demands.…”

A method for integrating ergonomics analysis into maintainability design in a virtual environment

“…The effective application of ergonomics in a workplace can create a balance between human operators and job design. Various studies have shown the positive influences of applying ergonomics rules to the workplace in different aspects, including machine, job, environmental design and axiomatic design (Azadeh et al, 2008;Abou-Ali and Khamis, 2003;Shikdar and Sawaqed, 2004;Taha et al, 2014). Awwad et al (Awwad et al, 2004) developed a checklist to evaluate nonpowered hand tools based on basic features related to good ergonomic tool design.…”
