Machines increasingly pervade the mining industry, reducing manual
labor and raising production. While the use of new technologies
such as remote control, vision enhancement technologies, continuous
haulage, and automated equipment has grown, so has the potential
for new health and safety risks. Written by leading experts from
Australia and North America, Human Factors for the Design,
Operation, and Maintenance of Mining Equipment covers the impact of
new mining technology on human work performance and safety.
Ergonomics experts Tim John Horberry, Robin Burgess-Limerick, and
Lisa J. Steiner draw on their personal experience to provide
up-to-date research, case studies, and examples, making the book
useful, accurate, informative, and easy to read. They set the scene
with a general, yet fundamental review of human factors information
related to equipment. They then examine the physical environment
and the importance of key concerns such as vibration, noise, heat,
and dust in maintaining and operating mining equipment. The authors
expand their scope by examining wider organizational and task
factors related to mining equipment, including the long-standing
issues of operator fatigue and stress as well as newer concerns
such as distraction and information overload. A synthesis of
available human factors knowledge and research, the book describes
human factors principles applied to mining equipment from a
multidisciplinary perspective and combines it into one volume. The
authors combine their in-the-trenches experience and academic
expertise to present a treatment that balances breadth with depth.
The book supplies a much-needed overview of the human element in
the journey to optimal equipment design of mining equipment.
