The issue of safety in operator-vehicle systems is multifaceted. The most unreliable element of this system is the human being. They are exposed to various hazards related to the specifics of their work, which have a negative impact on their psychophysical condition. The consequence of the influence of biomechanical factors is excessive strain on the musculoskeletal system. Psychosocial factors also trigger a similar reaction. The article presents the results of research conducted as part of the project entitled “Improvement of safety and working conditions” coordinated by the Central Institute for Labour Protection – National Research Institute. The aim of the research was to determine the impact of performed tasks on the psychophysical condition and, consequently, the work safety of the operator in transport systems.
THE NEW CONCEPTION OF SAFETY IN THE OPERATOR-VEHICLE SYSTEM PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THE HUMAN FACTOR
The safety in human-vehicle system has a multi-faceted nature. The most unreliable element of this system is the human being. He can be liable for different hazards connected with the specifics of his work . They can pose a negative influence on his psychomotor efficiency. One of the main consequences of biomechanics factors negative action are musculoskeletal overloading.Recent studies suggest that a similar reaction is also caused by psychosocial factors. Research has been carried out within the project ‘Improvement of work conditions’, coordinated by the Central Institute of Work Safety / Grabarek I.- head of research/,and results are presented in this article. The aim of the research was to determine the influence of performance tasks on psychophysical condition and work safety of operator in transportation systems.
