COMPREHENSIVE
ERGONOMICS SUPPORT
“Based on our experience with Asseco CEIT, we decided to turn to them again with our demand for evaluating ergonomics in our workplaces. Within a relatively short space of time, their solution gave us a wide-ranging and comprehensive view of the jobs on which we must focus our attention in priority.”

Steps carried out and project output
- Assessing employees’ subjective reaction to strain by identifying problems in the musculoskeletal system and by identifying the subjective perception of workload
- Assessing the physical exertion of employees on assembly lines using the valid legislation of the Slovak republic, European technical standards and selected ergonomics analyses
- Identifying the most at risk work tasks from the perspective of physical exertion on assembly lines
- Proposing corrective technical measures
- Proposing recommended rotations for employees in individual positions until the implementation of corrective technical measures
- Defining the basic principles of ergonomics for designing assembly lines based on the measurements and analyses carried out
Project benefits
- Gaining a comprehensive picture of the level of physical exertion in individual workplaces
- Identifying exceeded limits from the perspective of Slovak legislation and Slovak Technical Standards if the situation arises
- Background information for an effective implementation of corrective measures
- Set of tailor-made planning principles for the future pro-active design of workplaces
Project output
A proposal for technical and organisational corrective measures developed following a comprehension assessment of ergonomics in the workplace, using selected evaluation tools.
