This communication to the 13th National Symposium on Occupational Medicine (Tours, France, 2-5 Oct. 1974) takes stock of various questions confronting the plant physician when evaluating workload. Contents: historical background; concept of workload (definitions, workload component factors - including factors outside the workplace -, relative workload); workload indices (task analysis, work from the human standpoint); physiological workload indices (in the case of physical work, examples of studies using cardiac criteria, methods for assessment of mental workload (uses of theory of communications, time-and-motion studies, individual reactions under mental strain, effects of time/stress factors)); evaluation of relative workload (determination of maximum physical working capacity, comparison between physiological strain and aptitude for work; workload in workers subject to ill health or physical disability); role of the plant physician in workload evaluation. |
