When designing workplaces or arranging controls on panel, devices and controls should be placed within the reach of operator's arm or foot to guarantee effective performances. Most of the existing research on the reach volume were based on measurements of a few subject's arm reach, and limited to Caucasian and Chinese populations. Furthermore, reach volume considering foot or trunk motion have not been investigated. Range of human joint motion and that of two degrees of freedom motion are needed to generate reach volume analytically using the sweeping algorithm. However, range of two degrees of freedom motion has not been measured up to now. Therefore, range of two degrees of freedom motion was measured in this research, where 47 college students were participated voluntarily as subjects. The results showed that the motion of one joint can be limited by the motion of another motion, that is to say, the shoulder flexion was decreased significantly when the shoulder was adducted or abducted. Second, new approximate algorithms generating reach volumes were suggested, in which range of two degrees of freedom motion was used as input data. Depending upon the body segment included such as trunk, arm and leg, three types of reach volume were provided, in which the human body was modeled as a multilink system based on the robot kinematics and the sweeping method was employed. Reach volume generated analytically in this study showed statistically reasonable results when compared with that obtained from direct measurement.

해양유류오염사고가 발생한 경우에 필요한 모든 방제자원을 사전에 확보하고 사고에 대응하는 것이 가장 효과적이지만 현실적으로는 한계가 있는 실정이다. 그러므로 대규모 유류오염사고에 대비하여 유류오염으로 피해를 입게 되는 오염지역의 어선을 활용하는 방안이 중요한 대안이 될 수 있다. 미국 등 선진국에서도 지역 어선을 이용한 임시방제정 프로그램이 개발되어 운영되고 있는 사례를 찾아볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 국내 소형어선에 적합한 기름방제용 스위핑 암 시스템을 검토하였다. 모델로 선정된 소형 선박은 연안유자망어선 및 연안복합어선으로 2.5~3.5톤, 길이 8~9 m, 폭 2.5~2.8 m, 마력 200~250 HP, 선질 FRP인 어선이다. 개발된 장치는 모델 선박에 간편하게 장착할 수 있고 이동이 가능한 구조로 설계되었다. 조립 및 분해를 쉽게 하기위해 각 부품의 무게를 10 kg 이하로 구성함으로써 현장 실용성을 높였다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate a work of building cleaners using the ergonomic methods. Background: Previous studies about cleaning worker describe typical physical demands of this work. They found that the most significant risk factors associated with the physical work of cleaners are static loads and repetitive movements and high output of force. Method: A head of ergonomics estimation was work analysis(define of combined task, work tool, work time and frequency of combined task) and posture analysis of worker. Results: The results showed that combined task of building cleaners was classification sweeping, mopping(wet), mopping(oil), moving barrels/carts, dumping trash bags, scrubbing, arrangement of cleaning tool, arrangement of circumferential, moving of cleaning tool, and waiting. The work time of combined task such as mopping(wet) and scrubbing indicated high ratio. The posture analysis of building cleaners indicated high value in bending of the head, lower arm, and hands. Conclusion: The findings appear to indicate that building cleaner were related to high risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. So, building cleaner would be required an interventional strategy, improvement of cleaning tools and working environment. Application: If ergonomics rule can be integrated into existing cleaning tools and work environments, the risk of occupational injuries will be reduced.
