AR 385-10
Job Hazards
Air contaminants, dust, fumes, aerosols, fibers, gases
Worksite Analyisis
the first step that helps an industrial hygienist determine what jobs and work stations are the sources of potential problems
Industrial Hygiene
the science devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the workplace.

DA Form 7693
Building problems
Sick building syndrome, building-related illnesses
What authority regulates the Army's OSH Program?
US Department of Labor
Sensation
a physical process; the stimulation of our sense organs by features of the outer world
Perception
a physiological process; the act of organizing and interpreting sensory experiences
Indoor air quality contaminants
acetic acid, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, nitrogen oxides, ozone, radon, asbestos
Three industries where cognitive engineering helps
aviation, driving, healthcare
Muscles that control leg lift
calf muscles, achilles tendon
Four upper extremity disorders

Types of task analysis
cognitive, hierarchical, conceptual, timeline, tabular
Objectives of AIHA
compliance with the law, identify workplace hazards, recommend controls, recommend personnel for surveillance, integrate IH principles
Two ways of depicting a task analysis
decision tree, flow chart
Aspects of task analysis
detailed description of the task, duration and variability, frequency, sequencing, allocation, complexity
What does OSHA do
develops and sets mandatory occupational safety and health requirements applicable to workplaces
Muscles that control heel strike
dorsiflexors, hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings
Five characteristics of useablilty
effective, efficient, engaging, error tolerant, easy to learn
Means of controlling hazards
engineering controls, work practice controls, administrative controls
Cumulative Trauma Disorder
excessive wear and tear on tendons, muscles, and sensitive nerve tissue caused by continuous use over an extended period of time
Common lighting problems

Locomotion
movement from one place to another
Common gait disorders
propulsive gait, scissors gait, spastic, steppage, waddling
Influences of perception
sensory adaptation, absolute threshold, signal detection theory, difference threshold, perceptional set
Two phases of the gait
stance phase and swing phase
Perceptional Set
tendency to perceive stimuli in a certain manner
Task analysis
variety of techniques used to understand the structure, flow, and attributes of the task
