Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Observations of working postures in garages using the Ovako Working posture Analysing System (OWAS) and consequent workload reduction recommendations

Notes: Sumario: The working postures of mechanics in 42 garages were observed using the Ovako Working posture Analysis System (OWAS). During observation, both working postures and work activities were recorded. A computer program was developed for the data analyses. Using this program it is possible to calculate the working posture load for each work activity and the contribution of a specific activity to the total working posture loadRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 33, nº 2, February 1990 ; p. 209-220Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Biomecánica Postura Lesiones musculares Talleres de reparación de automóviles OWAS Métodos de análisis Programas informáticos Otros autores: Notermans, J.H.V.
