| Abstract |
MD thesis. Study of the workplace of terminal operators (environmental factors, description of work, posture, muscular work and operator's seat). The possible hazards are examined: implosion/explosion; ionising radiation; visual fatigue, to which most space is devoted. An ergonomic approach to these workplaces includes medical surveillance of operators, especially as concerns their vision, ergonomic design of the screen and terminal in a single unit, and organisation of the work, especially as concerns the workshift duration (approx. 90min) and daily working time (6h). Gymnastics during work pauses and eye relaxation are advocated for prevention of visual fatigue. |
