Content | Problem In response to an initiative by the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the energy, textile, electrical and media products sectors, together with the Institute of Work and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance (IAG) and a manufacturer of ironing stations, an ergonomic ironing workstation was produced. The facilities for ergonomic adjustment were reviewed in advance by means of human modelling software. The iron- ing station was to be evaluated by experienced ironers during realistic tasks in order to ascertain the effectiveness and efficiency of the ergonomic design measures. Activities Seven experienced ironers took part in the com- parative analysis in the IFA s ergonomics labora- tory. They performed standardized ironing tasks on shirts at both the ergonomic and a conventional workplace. Body postures and movements of the head, spine, and upper and lower extremities were quantified by means of the CUELA measurement system1 and evaluated by means of various ergo- nomic and occupational medical methods. The acceptance of the workplaces among the test subjects was determined by means of question- naires. 1 CUELA system of computer-assisted measurement and long-term analysis of musculoskeletal workloads Ironer fitted with the CUELA measurement system For assessment of the efficiency, the quality of the ironing result was evaluated by means of a method developed at the University of Bonn in the faculty of agricultural engineering, household technology section for standardized assessment of the folds and creases. The ironing time per shirt was also evaluated on the two different work- places. Results and Application The redesigned ironing workplace was found in the main to have followed good ergonomic princi- ples. A simple technical facility for adjusting the height of the work surface, and automatic adjust- ment when the sleeve board is swivelled in, proved to be advantageous. The very good illumi- nation of the ergonomic ironing station was also found to have a positive effect.
