Experimental Investigation of Process Parameters of Mining Industries

Most of the industrial activities are executed manually due to the limitations of mechanization such as technological and cost oriented. The industrial activities such as maintenance operations, mining operations, loading and unloading operations on process machines and similar such other operations are manually performed. The management attitude is conservative and traditional with spontaneous judgment based decision making predominant. Hence, most of the operations are carried out manually. Operators are working with different types of machine tools and process machines under different environmental conditions. Ergonomic design of the work station varies suitable for the operators with different constraints. According to academicians, Ergonomics deals in an integrated way with the man, his working environment, tools, materials and process. Work can be completed efficiently with human comfort if designed based on principles of ergonomics. If ergonomic principles are not followed for design of man machine systems then it results into low efficiency, poor health and rise in the accidents of the man machine system.
