Worker task performance safely

A method for improving worker task performance safety implemented on at least one processor, comprising:

• receiving worker specific sensor data via a communication network coupled to the at least one processor;
• identifying a task, a specific location of an individual facility, and at least one worker movement based on the received worker specific sensor data;
• retrieving at least one task threshold parameter associated with the identified task and ergometric data for a worker related to the identified task from at least one memory communicatively coupled the processor;
• generating at least one worker specific task parameter based on the received worker specific sensor data;
• comparing the at least one task threshold parameter with the at least one worker specific task parameter;
• comparing the at least one worker movement with the ergometric data for the worker related to the identified task;
• generating worker specific task data based on the comparison of the at least one task threshold parameter with the at least one worker specific task parameter;
• determining whether the worker specific task data exceeds a safety threshold;
• responsive to the worker specific task data exceeding the safety threshold, determining whether the identified specific location of the individual facility is associated with other worker specific task data exceeding the safety threshold;
• responsive to the identified specific location of the individual facility being associated with the other worker specific task data exceeding the safety threshold, labeling the identified specific location as potentially unsafe in a database based on the worker specific task data and the other worker specific task data exceeding the safety threshold;
• and
• identifying a change for future worker movement based on the comparison of the at least one worker movement with the ergometric data for the worker related to the identified task.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions for improving worker task performance safety, the computer-executable instructions operable to, upon execution by a computer, cause the computer to:

• receive worker specific sensor data via a communication network coupled to the at least one processor;
• identify a task, a specific location of an individual facility, and at least one worker movement based on the received worker specific sensor data;
• retrieve at least one task threshold parameter associated with the identified task and ergometric data for a worker related to the identified task from at least one memory communicatively coupled the processor;
• generate at least one worker specific task parameter based on the received worker specific sensor data;
• compare the at least one task threshold parameter with the at least one worker specific task parameter;
• compare the at least one worker movement with the ergometric data for the worker related to the identified task;
• generate worker specific task data based on the comparison of the at least one task threshold parameter with the at least one worker specific task parameter;
• determine whether the worker specific task data exceeds a safety threshold;
• responsive to the worker specific task data exceeding the safety threshold, determine whether the identified specific location of the individual facility is associated with other worker specific task data exceeding the safety threshold;
• responsive to the identified specific location of the individual facility being associated with the other worker specific task data exceeding the safety threshold, label the identified specific location as potentially unsafe in a database based on the worker specific task data and the other worker specific task data exceeding the safety threshold;
• and
• identify a change for future worker movement based on the comparison of the at least one worker movement with the ergometric data for the worker related to the identified task.
