Abstract

Most of the ergonomic methods to rate the physical strains of jobs (EAWS for example) can only be used for traditional production workplaces such as assembly lines. Craft professions are difficult to rate with these methods, since the tasks of these professions are long cycled or uncycled and do not repeat after a short time. This work will show a new way, making it possible to conduct a workplace assessment for long or uncycled tasks using the example of roofers and carpenters. The so called SOP method uses short sections of a working day to define the whole strain of a day.
