项目摘要

This project seeks to take advantage of the unplanned coincidence of important observations from our prior NIOSH-funded winegrape vineyards study and a time-limited opportunity to initiate a long-term intervention in winegrape vineyard MSD risk factor exposures. In the conduct of our existing study, we became aware that differing trellis systems appear to involve disparate ergonomics risk factors. Trellis systems serve as a major element in what could be considered the vineyard worker's workstation. This project will have four overall goals: a) to identify and develop detailed ergonomics measurements of risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders and estimates of worker health outcomes for each of the most commonly used winegrape trellis systems; b) to facilitate use of information about risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders associated with most commonly used winegrape trellis systems in trellis decision making; c) to develop practice and design parameters for reducing ergonomics risk factors associated with most used trellis systems; and d) to add to research knowledge about the association of specific agricultural workplace ergonomics risk factors and musculoskeletal disorders and their symptoms. Project Specific Aims are to: 1. Confirm cooperating partners from among existing project partners or industry volunteers; 2. develop detailed ergonomics measurements (biomechanical, metabolic, and postural) 3. estimate the effects of each trellis system on workers' musculoskeletal symptoms; 4. develop trellis-specific cultural practice and engineering design parameters for reducing ergonomics risk factor exposure for most commonly used trellis systems; 5. evaluate trellis-specific practice and design parameters and for risk factor reduction effects 6. develop industry specific information on ergonomics risk factors associated with trellis systems; 7. disseminate project findings to winegrape and other agricultural industry groups, to workers, and to community interests; and 8. report project findings in appropriate research and professional publications.

该项目旨在利用我们先前由 NIOSH 资助的酿酒葡萄葡萄园研究中的重要观察结果的意外巧合，以及对酿酒葡萄葡萄园 MSD 风险因素暴露启动长期干预的限时机会。在我们现有的研究中，我们意识到不同的网格系统似乎涉及不同的人体工程学风险因素。格架系统是葡萄园工人工作站的主要组成部分。该项目将有四个总体目标：a) 确定和开发详细的肌肉骨骼疾病风险因素的人体工程学测量方法，并估计每种最常用的酿酒葡萄棚架系统的工人健康结果； b) 促进在网格决策中使用与最常用的酿酒葡萄网格系统相关的肌肉骨骼疾病风险因素的信息； c) 开发实践和设计参数，以减少与最常用的网格系统相关的人体工程学风险因素； d) 增加有关特定农业工作场所人体工程学风险因素与肌肉骨骼疾病及其症状之间关系的研究知识。项目具体目标是： 1. 从现有项目合作伙伴或行业志愿者中确认合作伙伴； 2. 制定详细的人体工程学测量（生物力学、代谢和姿势） 3. 估计每个网格系统对工人肌肉骨骼症状的影响； 4. 开发特定于网格的文化实践和工程设计参数，以减少最常用的网格系统的人体工程学风险因素暴露； 5. 评估网格特定的实践和设计参数以及风险因素减少效果 6. 开发与网格系统相关的人体工学风险因素的行业特定信息； 7. 向酿酒葡萄和其他农业产业团体、工人和社区利益传播项目成果； 8. 在适当的研究和专业出版物中报告项目结果。
