The development and testing of ergonomics and safety audits for small and bulk bag filling, haul truck and maintenance and repair operations in coal preparation and mineral processing plants found at surface mine sites is described. The content for the audits was derived from diverse sources of information on ergonomics and safety deficiencies including: analysis of injury, illness and fatality data and reports; task analysis; empirical laboratory studies of particular tasks; field studies and observations at mine sites; and maintenance records. These diverse sources of information were utilised to establish construct validity of the modular audits that were developed for use by mine safety personnel. User and interrater reliability testing was carried out prior to finalising the audits. The audits can be implemented using downloadable paper versions or with a free mobile NIOSH-developed Android application called ErgoMine. Practitioner Summary: The methodology used to develop ergonomics audits for three types of mining operations is described. Various sources of audit content are compared and contrasted to serve as a guide for developing ergonomics audits for other occupational contexts.
本文描述了针对露天矿场选煤厂和矿物加工厂中小型和散装袋灌装、运输卡车以及维护与修理作业的人体工程学与安全审核的开发与测试。审核内容源自关于人体工程学和安全缺陷的多种信息来源，包括：工伤、疾病和死亡数据及报告分析；任务分析；特定任务的实证实验室研究；矿场实地研究与观察；以及维护记录。这些不同的信息来源被用于确立为矿山安全人员开发的模块化审核的结构效度。在最终确定审核之前进行了用户和评分者间信度测试。审核可以使用可下载的纸质版本，或通过美国国家职业安全卫生研究所（NIOSH）开发的名为ErgoMine的免费移动安卓应用程序来实施。从业者总结：描述了为三种采矿作业开发人体工程学审核所使用的方法。比较和对比了审核内容的各种来源，以为开发其他职业环境下的人体工程学审核提供指导。
