Westpoort VCA Eindtermen Basis, VOL, VIL VCU Engels

- - -

Radiant heat

- Reduced blood flow resulting in numbness - Muscle pain and/or cramps - Chronic fatigue

Humidity

Annoying air movement

Work comfort control measures - Keep the temperature as comfortable and even as reasonably possible and adapted to the physical exertion - No annoying air movement - Limit exposure - Providing specific PPE if necessary - Maintain fluid balance

The concept of dynamic load Load caused by movement of muscles, successively tensing and relaxing

Health complaints due to excessive dynamic loads - Fatigue - Muscle strain - Damage

Points of attention for lighting in the workplace - Older workers need more light

Factors (mental load) - Workload -

Sufficient lighting to observe the details

- -

Task versus capabilities

Contrasts in a workspace should not be too great Reflection of light must be prevented The light intensity of the lamps may decrease with increasing use time or age - Depending on the work, the illuminance must comply with regulations - -

- -

Relationship with colleagues Relationship with managers and subordinates Physical working conditions

- - - -

Working hours regulations

Job (in)security

Infrastructure, equipment

Physical and mental strain Factors (physical strain) - Heaviness of the work -

Risky manual lifting and safety measures for manual lifting Factors (individual load capacity for manual lifting) Degree to which one is physically able to lift

Movements that need to be made

-

Working posture

Working conditions and physical complaints - Duration of the effort - Having to sit or stand for long periods of time - Wrong posture - Exposure to vibrations - Have to perform many repetitive actions - Excessive exertion such as heavy lifting

Factors (risky manual lifting) -

Horizontal distance between body and load

- Vertical distance between load and ground - Vertical travel distance - Frequency - Degree to which the upper body is in a twisted position relative to the lower body - Contact surface of hands with the load - Weight of the load - Dimensions of the load in relation to the centre of gravity

Rest pause function Preventing overload

The concept of static load Load caused by persistent tension of the muscles

Organizational rules -

Let employees set the pace themselves

-

Take short breaks

Health hazards due to static loads

- Divide lifting work among several people
