What is PD CEN/TR 16710-1-Ergonomic method to understand end-users work with machines about?
PD CEN/TR 16710-1 is a technical report on ergonomics methods that discusses a feedback method to understand how end-users perform their work with machines to monitor improvement in work activity. PD CEN/TR 16710-1 is the first part of a multi-series that describes the “Feedback Method”, a method designed specifically to collect the contribution of machinery end-users by reconstructing and understanding how work is performed (i.e., the real work).
The method specified by PD CEN/TR 16710-1 is designed to minimize the influence of the subjectivity of the facilitators and researchers in reconstructing and describing the reality of work and to maximize the “objective” contribution of the skilled users of the machine. PD CEN/TR 16710-1 combines a high level of reproducibility, sensitivity, and user-friendliness with low demands in terms of resources, which makes it attractive to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises
Who is PD CEN/TR 16710-1-Ergonomic method to understand end-users work with machines for?
PD CEN/TR 16710-1 on the ergonomic method to understand end-users work with machines is useful for:
- Machinery manufacturers
- Machinery designers
- Industrial employers
- Machinery end-users
- Market surveillance and authorities
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 16710-1-Ergonomic method to understand end-users work with machines?
The importance of involving users in the design of machinery is recognized in most standards that deal with ergonomic design principles. Collecting the experiences of skilled users, we can reconstruct their actual work activities under different operating conditions and with any kind of machine.
PD CEN/TR 16710-1 provides you with general principles, the “Feedback method” steps, selection of the machine to be investigated, collection of documentation and preparation of a machine dossier, identification of companies where the machine is regularly used, an inspection of workplaces, and much more. The method provided by PD CEN/TR 16710-1 assist to identify all the critical aspects having an impact on health and safety, or associated with ergonomic principles, improving technical standards, as well as the design, manufacturing, and use of machinery.
With obedience and compliance to PD CEN/TR 16710-1, you can improve production efficiency, identify any need for additional study and research.
