Popis: The screening tool “Design Check” (DC) allows the detection of ergonomic deficits in workplace layouts. DC was recently developed in a joint research project of the Ergonomics Institute, Darmstadt University of Technology (IAD) and Porsche AG, Stuttgart, promoted by the German Federal Ministry of Technology (BMBF). DC focuses onto the evaluation of industrial work tasks with special respect to assembly tasks. The checklist was designed to identify risk situations generated by physical workplace demands. DC was developed and tested at the assembly lines of Porsche automotive industries, Stuttgart, Germany.
