The aim of this study was to identify risks and ergonomics discomfort during work of local and short haul delivery truck drivers outside a cab. The study used a video- and computer-based method (VIDAR). VIDAR is a participatory method identifying demanding work situations and their potential risks. The drivers' work was videoed and analysed by subjects and ergonomists. Delivery truck drivers should not be perceived as one group with equal risks because there were significant differences between the 2 types of transportation and specific types of risks. VIDAR produces visual material for risk management processes. VIDAR as a participatory approach stimulates active discussion about work-related risks and discomfort, and about possibilities for improvement. VIDAR may be also applied to work which comprises different working environments.
本研究的目的是识别本地和短途送货卡车司机在驾驶室以外工作期间的风险和人体工程学不适。该研究采用了基于视频和计算机的方法(VIDAR)。VIDAR是一种参与式方法,用于识别要求苛刻的工作情况及其潜在风险。司机的工作由受试者和人体工程学家进行录像和分析。送货卡车司机不应被视为风险均等的一个群体,因为这两种运输类型之间存在显著差异以及特定类型的风险。VIDAR为风险管理流程生成视觉材料。VIDAR作为一种参与式方法,激发了关于工作相关风险和不适以及改进可能性的积极讨论。VIDAR也可应用于包含不同工作环境的工作。
