Lectures

Goal

The aim of this course is the acquisition of basic academic knowledge in the field of man - machine system design, which can be used for designing of different products and industrial systems, as well as for redesigning and improvement of system man - machine - environment. Students should acquire specific practical skills that include an integrated ergonomic approach for the purpose of a comprehensive settlement of various designing problems.

Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: • Identify the main types of mechanical hazards • Carry out the selection and to apply the basic types of safety protections on machines • Perform the identification of all other types of hazards in the working environment and to implement hazard analysis in a man - machine system • Apply basic procedures for hazard prevention • To realize the complete program for realization of safe products within the organization • Identify different types of errors in the man - machine system and to apply appropriate solutions aimed at eliminating errors • Conduct an ergonomic evaluation of design solutions of manuals • Design technical and project documentation in accordance with the ergonomic recommendations

Theoretical teaching

Mechanical hazards and safe operation of machinery. Analysis of risk in the system man - machine and their prevention. Safety and reliability of products. Management of errors in the man - machine system. Ergonomics of designing of technical and project documentation. Recommendations for designing of technical and project documentation.

Practical teaching

First project task - Identification of hazards in the workplace. Auditory exercise - Risk assessment in the man - machine system. Second project task - Ergonomic assessment of design solutions of manuals.

Attendance requirement

The necessary condition for attending the course is that the student have enrolled to the appropriate semester.
