| Abstract |
Increasing mechanisation of coal getting has resulted in a reduction of heavy physical work and an increase in vigilance and concentration tasks. Psychophysiological workload is studied and recent occupational medicine findings are reviewed. Sections cover: total mechanisation (man-machine system, actual working time, work breaks and auxiliary tasks); workface microclimate (high temperatures, low temperatures, ventilation); sensory stress (dust, gases, smells, noise, communication, lighting); assessment of workload in various jobs (coal plough operator or supervisor, roof shield operator, shift foreman, sectional face cutter, monorail driver and supervisor); adaptation to difficult coal-getting conditions; uncomfortable working postures; professional experience; exceptional mental and emotional stress factors. |
