[Transient shift in hearing threshold in simultaneous exposure to noise and postural activities]. / Zeitweilige Hörschwellenabwanderung bei gleichzeitiger Exposition gegenüber Lärm und Haltungsarbeit.

Experimental results indicate that work posture--conditioned loads in exposure to broadband and narrow-band noise (L = 85 dB [A]) modify the amount of the noise-induced TTS2.

[The securing of adequate working possibilities for the older worker as a specific work-hygienic task]. / Die Sicherung des adäquaten Arbeitseinsatzes älterer Werktätiger als spezifische arbeitshygienische Betreuungleistung

It is an important problem for all institutions of work-safety and Public Health in enterprises to secure an adequate shaping of labour for elderly workers by means of work-studies and deducing staffs. The peculiar attitude in adaptation by aged people makes necessary to take into consideration specific formative principles as are here described and proved. With the help of a model is shown in which way work-studies on places of employment of aged women are used for rationalisation.

[Industrial hygienic complex examinations of places of employment of elderly workers in telecommunication technics]. / Arbeitshygienische Komplexuntersuchungen an Arbeitsplätzen älterer Werktätiger im Fernmeldeanlagenbau

Authors examinated conditions on 76 places of employment of elderly women by means of a screening methode, an estimated findings in comparison to design standards under consideration of special aspects of aged workers. In regard of work organization, physic strain, demands to sense organs and the exposition of environment factors conditions were acceptable. Imperfections in plase dimensions, lighing and laps organization induced 139 detailled straffs. Directions of the examinated enterprise till now many things improved in conformity with this study.

[Researches for the planning of measures of working places of old people (author's transl)]. / Untersuchungen zur masslichen Gestaltung von Arbeitsplätzen älterer Werktätiger

Within ergonomic complex-analyses which aimed at registering, valuing and optimising the working-conditions of elderly female workers in a large factory for telecommunication technics. 75 sitting workplaces were in detail examined as regarding the anthropometric measurements. Only the third of the working-places were constructed in the anthropometrically best possible way. A wrong construction was found in the case of working-height in 45 per cent, in the case of working-seats in 46,5 per cent, in the case of led-space in 30 per cent and in the case of operating-space for the hands in 22 per cent of the work-places. The results of the analysis led to 103 suggestions for changes, which are now to a large extend being put into practive in the course of complex measures of rationalization.
