3D laser models for the ergonomic assessment of the working environment

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the applicability of 3D laser model technology in the ergonomic assessment of the working environment. The results show that in the case of 3D technology, it is especially useful to describe the changes in the working environment and the ways of performing work activities (deviations from the regulations regarding activities specified by the employer). The article also presents algorithms for the use of 3D laser models in many workplaces where one cannot plan the work tasks in detail, since they are flexible and often their course is changed. This applies to work such as that of warehouse workers, maintenance staff or mining work.
