“…When applying a multi-step participatory ergonomics process flow in a project (eg. Tappin, Vitalis, & Bentley, 2016;P Vink, Imada, & Zink, 2008;Yuan, 2015), all stakeholders need to be involved and there also needs to be a transfer of information from the designer and/or ergonomist to the users. To support the participatory process, With results of this high detail and richness emerging from representation by naval cadets, the researchers are convinced that an additional level of experiential relevance can be achieved with professional seafarers as evaluators, and will also have the additional benefits of increasing participation, empowerment and design acceptance.…”

Involving users in a ship bridge re-design process using scenarios and mock-up models. Ergonomics, http://dx.doi.org/10. 1016/j.ergon.2016.02.008 Access to the published version may require subscription. N.B. When citing this work, cite the original published paper. International Journal of Industrial AbstractThe context for this study is the maritime domain and the design of shipboard workspaces. Due to the globalized nature of shipping, the traditional approach to a participative ergonomics process can be a logistical challenge since stakeholders like designers, manufacturers and operators are often scattered both geographically and organizationally. The participative design study presented in this paper addresses this challenge by exploring the ability of three types of simple three-dimensional (3D) models to act as mediating objects for representative users in order to elicit design feedback in a use scenario-workshop format. The study found that all three types of 3D models, when coupled with a scenario description, elicited several types of useful design feedback that served not only as direct input to changing proposed design parameters, but also as an unprompted long-term learning opportunity for the design team to gain insight into the lives and challenges of their users, who both work and live on board. Relevance to industryThe paper presents a procedure for a participatory design process in the maritime domain where the involved stakeholders are geographically and organizationally dispersed. Mock-up models coupled with use scenario descriptions elicited useful design feedback and an unprompted longterm learning opportunity for the design team.

“…Several studies that use participatory ergonomics are Rasmussen et al (2017) which uses a sample of elderly workers and Eaves et al (2016) who examined construction workers. Besides, there are researches on the use of participatory ergonomics to reduce the risk of MSD's (Svendsen et al, 2020;Van Eerd et al, 2018), the use of participatory ergonomics in manufacturing (Zare et al, 2020;Dianat et al, 2016;Tappin et al, 2016), and the use of participatory ergonomics for design (Mackrill et al, 2017;Zhou et al, 2016). Therefore, a participatory ergonomic approach can be used to reduce the risk of work accidents and increase work productivity.…”

Article history:The problem that we often encounter in the workplace is work accidents. It is fatal in work and frequently ignored by workers and company owners, especially small and medium enterprises. This study focuses on reducing the risk of work accidents through a participatory ergonomic approach. This method is a method in which all elements involved in the scope of work are invited to work together to solve existing problems. The result shows that the risk of MSDs is dangerous to the musculoskeletal system as the work posture resulted in a significant effect of tension. The physical work environment is not under existing standards. Lack of lighting can be fatal to workers, while too hot temperatures can affect worker comfort. The results of participatory ergonomics show that 85% of workers want a change in the physical work environment. The number of work accidents in batik center after using a participatory ergonomic approach decreased and could increase work productivity by 11%.

“…In the absence of high quality trials for the meat processing industry, practitioners would benefit from referring to two previous high quality systematic reviews, one of which looked at the effectiveness of PE programs across industries and countries (Rivilis et al ., ); the other looking at key process factors in successful implementation of PE (Van Eerd et al ., ). For those working specifically in the meat processing industry they may wish to review the work of Tappin, Vitalis and Bentley () who reported on the implementation of an industry level PE approach in the New Zealand meat processing industry. Research is needed on the effectiveness of this approach.…”
