ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED IS IT THE MAN BEHIND THE MACHINE ? Dr. Arun Kr. Mohanty
INTRODUCTION • Accident-one of the major factor affecting the optimum utilisation of human resources. • It occures on regular basis. • 18. 2% of injuries are due to road accident in side plant. • Operators are vital force behind production. • Responsible for safety of others and the equipment.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES • To determine the accident proneness among operators. • To study the effect of -Mental fatigue -Underweight -Anaemia On reaction time
METHODOLOGY (N-177) Male permanent employees with good vision and hearing. Auto operators - 40 ( Transport, FMM ) Crane operators - 47 ( SMS, Mills ) Loco operators - 90 ( T&RM )
METHODOLOGY-contd • Clinical examination • Investigation -Hb% -Mental fatigue -Reaction time
Methodology-contd (Reaction timer)
METHODOLOGY-cont(test for mental fatigue)
MORBIDITY PROFILE AMONG OPERATORS (%) • • • Disease Hypertension Diabetes Respiratory Locomotor GI Problems Operators(177) 16. 9 7. 3 4. 8 5. 1 8. 3 Plant(22408) 18. 3 8. 1 5. 0 2. 5 10. 4
SPECIFIC FINDINGS AMONG OPERATORS(%) Findings Operators(177) Plant(1756) Mental fatigue - 28. 8 - 34 Delayed Reaction time - 32. 2 - 25
MENTAL FATIGUE AND DELAYED REACTION AMONG DIFFERENT OPERATORS(%) Factors Auto opt. Crane opt. Loco opt. Mental fatigue - 37. 5 - 25. 5 - 26. 6 Delayed Reaction time - 42. 5 - 12. 7 - 37. 7
AGE WISE MENTAL FATIGUE AMONG OPERATORS(%) Factors <40 yrs 41 -50 yrs > 50 yrs Auto opt. Crane opt. Loco opt. Total opt. 20. 0 4. 3 8. 9 10. 2 10. 0 8. 5 10. 0 9. 6 7. 5 12. 8 7. 8 9. 0
AGE WISE DELAYED REACTION TIME AMONG OPERATORS(%) Factors <40 yrs 41 -50 yrs >50 yrs . Auto opt. Crane opt. Loco opt. Total opt. 10. 0 Nil 6. 7 5. 6 15. 0 6. 4 16. 6 13. 6 17. 5 6. 4 14. 4 13. 0
FACTORS AFFECTING DELAYED REACTION TIME(%) Factors Delayed Reaction Time Mental fatigue 24. 5 Weight(UW) 67. 4 Anemia 100
SUMMARY • Mental fatigue is not significant for delayed reaction time. • Auto operators are more prone & Crane operators are least prone to accident. • Younger age group are less accident prone. • Under wt. more prone to accident. ANEMIA is the single most significant factor for accident proneness.
CONCLUSION • Taking care of the man behind the machine • Beside good vision and hearing Hb estimation should be a must for every operatos behind machine.
