PIMEX was used to motivate workers to actively improve their working conditions.
The Kooperationsstelle has applied the method in several companies across different sectors. In this article, exemplary case studies are presented.
PIMEX uses video recording and monitoring of indicators by sensors and transducers attached to the workers. These register and record the part of the work process where they were exposed to risk factors and to what extent. The observations are stored on a notebook computer and can be repeated and replayed instantly.
In all cases, workers started experimenting with modifying the workflow, the extraction system and its positioning, their working posture and the PPE. Modifications were tested several times and the resulting exposure differences were analysed until a satisfactory reduction was achieved. Selected records were then used for regular training sessions, which contribute to the long-term effect. Specialists within the companies were contacted at a later date and they have confirmed the long lasting effect.
PIMEX has proved in these cases to be an excellent method for convincing employees to change their behaviour and to adhere in the long-term to the newly-evolved work processes and preventive measures.
使用PIMEX激励工人积极改善其工作条件。
合作中心已在不同行业的多家公司应用了该方法。本文展示了典型案例研究。
PIMEX通过连接到工人身上的传感器和换能器对指标进行视频记录和监测。这些设备记录工人接触风险因素的工作流程部分以及接触程度。观测数据存储在笔记本电脑上，可即时重复和回放。
在所有案例中，工人开始尝试改变工作流程、抽气系统及其位置、工作姿势和个人防护装备。对这些改变进行了多次测试，并分析由此产生的暴露差异，直到实现令人满意的降低。然后，选取的记录被用于定期培训课程，这有助于产生长期效果。公司内部的专家随后被联系，他们证实了这种长期效果。
在这些案例中，PIMEX已证明是一种极好的方法，可说服员工改变其行为，并长期坚持新形成的工作流程和预防措施。
