The major objective of this effort is to pursue basic and applied research in the area of ergonomics. Specific objectives include (1) advancing theory for developing instruments and analytical methods for measuring and assessing exposure to physical stress in repetitive manual work, (2) investigating performance deficits associated with exposure to these stresses, and (3) enhancing performance and preventing injuries by establishing exposure and job design guidelines based on these measurements. Physical stress in the workplace has been recognized as an underlying cause of decreased productivity, reduced work quality, operator discomfort, worker dissatisfaction, and increased incidence of injuries. Disabilities resulting from excessive exposure to these stresses incur significant costs to industry in the form of medical bills, worker's compensation, reduced productivity, lost time, and human suffering. The ultimate goal of this research is the development of effective quantitative guidelines for enhancing manual performance and protecting workers from harmful exposure to physical stress.

这一努力的主要目标是， 人体工程学领域的应用研究。 具体目标 包括：（1）推进开发工具理论， 测量和评估接触物理接触的分析方法 重复性体力劳动的压力，（2）调查性能 与暴露于这些压力相关的缺陷，以及（3） 提高性能和防止伤害， 暴露和工作设计准则的基础上，这些测量。 工作场所的身体压力被认为是 生产力下降、工作质量下降的根本原因， 操作员不适，工人不满， 受伤的发生率。 过度使用造成的残疾 暴露于这些应力会给工业带来巨大的成本， 医疗费的形式，工人的赔偿，减少 生产力，损失的时间和人类的痛苦。 最终目标 本研究的目的是发展有效的定量 提高体力劳动能力和保护工人的准则 从有害的暴露到身体压力。
