To establish the inter-rater reliability of an observation-based ergonomics assessment checklist for computer workers.
A 37-item (38-item if a laptop was part of the workstation) comprehensive observational ergonomics assessment checklist comparable to government guidelines and up to date with empirical evidence was developed. Two trained practitioners assessed full-time office workers performing their usual computer-based work and evaluated the suitability of workstations used. Practitioners assessed each participant consecutively. The order of assessors was randomised, and the second assessor was blinded to the findings of the first. Unadjusted kappa coefficients between the raters were obtained for the overall checklist and subsections that were formed from question-items relevant to specific workstation equipment.
Twenty-seven office workers were recruited. The inter-rater reliability between two trained practitioners achieved moderate to good reliability for all except one checklist component.
This checklist has mostly moderate to good reliability between two trained practitioners. Practitioner Summary: This reliable ergonomics assessment checklist for computer workers was designed using accessible government guidelines and supplemented with up-to-date evidence. Employers in Queensland (Australia) can fulfil legislative requirements by using this reliable checklist to identify and subsequently address potential risk factors for work-related injury to provide a safe working environment.
建立一份针对计算机工作者的基于观察的人体工程学评估检查表的评分者间信度。
制定了一份包含37项（若笔记本电脑是工作站的一部分则为38项）的全面观察性人体工程学评估检查表，该检查表与政府指南相当，并结合了最新的实证证据。两名经过培训的从业者对从事日常计算机工作的全职办公室职员进行评估，并评估所使用工作站的适用性。从业者依次对每位参与者进行评估。评估者的顺序是随机的，第二名评估者对第一名评估者的评估结果不知情。针对整个检查表以及由与特定工作站设备相关的问题项组成的子部分，计算评分者之间未调整的kappa系数。
招募了27名办公室职员。除一个检查表组件外，两名经过培训的从业者之间的评分者间信度在所有方面均达到了中等至良好的信度。
这份检查表在两名经过培训的从业者之间大多具有中等至良好的信度。从业者总结：这份针对计算机工作者的可靠人体工程学评估检查表是根据易于获取的政府指南设计的，并补充了最新证据。澳大利亚昆士兰州的雇主可以使用这份可靠的检查表来识别并随后解决与工作相关伤害的潜在风险因素，从而满足立法要求，提供一个安全的工作环境。
