本研究评估了美国政府工业卫生学家会议（ACGIH®）手部活动水平（HAL）的评分员间可靠性，HAL是一种观察性人体工程学评估方法，用于估计任务执行期间重复性体力劳动的身体暴露。使用HAL视觉模拟量表，由16对评分员对858个周期性和非周期性矫治器制造任务的视频记录进行评估。加权皮尔逊积矩相关系数用于评估每个评分者对记录的HAL评分之间的一致性，并计算循环和非循环任务的平均加权相关系数。结果表明，HAL是一种可靠的周期性作业（r_（？）barw = 0.69）和非周期性作业（r_（？）barw = 0.68）的暴露评估方法。当两个可靠性分数进行比较，使用双样本学生的t-检验，这些工作任务类别之间的可靠性（p = 0.63）没有显着差异被发现。这项研究表明，HAL可能是一个有用的措施，暴露在循环和非循环任务的重复性努力。传统上，很难使用简单的观察技术来评估在非循环任务完成期间暴露于危险水平的重复动作。本研究表明，工效学家可以使用HAL可靠和容易地评估与一些非周期性工作任务相关的暴露。
This study evaluated the inter-rater reliability of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH®) hand activity level (HAL), an observational ergonomic assessment method used to estimate physical exposure to repetitive exertions during task performance. Video recordings of 858 cyclic and non-cyclic appliance manufacturing tasks were assessed by sixteen pairs of raters using the HAL visual-analog scale. A weighted Pearson Product Moment-Correlation Coefficient was used to evaluate the agreement between the HAL scores recorded by each rater pair, and the mean weighted correlation coefficients for cyclic and non-cyclic tasks were calculated. Results indicated that the HAL is a reliable exposure assessment method for cyclic (r̄-barw = 0.69) and non-cyclic work tasks (r̄-barw = 0.68). When the two reliability scores were compared using a two-sample Student's t-test, no significant difference in reliability (p = 0.63) between these work task categories was found. This study demonstrated that the HAL may be a useful measure of exposure to repetitive exertions during cyclic and non-cyclic tasks. Exposure to hazardous levels of repetitive action during non-cyclic task completion has traditionally been difficult to assess using simple observational techniques. The present study suggests that ergonomists could use the HAL to reliably and easily evaluate exposures associated with some non-cyclic work tasks.
