• Description:
  This app has been superseded and the new version can be found here. What is ErgoMine? ErgoMine is an ergonomics audit tool designed specifically for mining. It includes audits for bagging, haul truck, and maintenance and repair operations at surface mining and processing facilities. Based on your responses to the audit questions, ErgoMine provides recommendations when there is an opportunity for ergonomics improvement. Once you have completed an audit, you can review the recommendations on your mobile device or you can email the recommendations to the recipients of your choice. What are the benefits of conducting an audit? Most mineworkers can conduct ergonomics audits reliably with a well-designed audit tool. The audit can be even more thorough than one conducted by an expert practitioner with respect to identifying ergonomics deficiencies in the workplace. ErgoMine can benefit your mine site by allowing workers without formal ergonomics training to identify issues and mitigate risks. You can also use ErgoMine to conduct audits before and after you make changes to the work environment to determine the impact on the workplace. Refer to the Help Guide for an overview of the features and functions. The audits are also provided in PDF format for printing and use in the classic clipboard-and-pencil style: Bagging; Haul Truck; Maintenance & Repair. [Description provided by NIOSH]
