ErgocleanProject

😎Once again we have good news, because we have finished with a
🗣picture guide for teaching ergonomics.🗣
It is recommended to use the picture guide together with the instructional videos.

📣The picture guide can be downloaded in 5 different languages ​​-
🇬🇧English
🇪🇪Estonia
🇫🇮Finland
🇳🇱Dutch
🇭🇺Hungary

Training materials - Ergoclean In addition to the videos produced during the project, the project partners developed training materials. All materials can be combined for teaching, but they can also be used independently.The videos and picture guide are designed both for cleaners to learn ergonomics and as educational material fo...

🤩We are very proud to announce that 20 ergonomics educational videos have been completed!
Since these are short videos without words, they can be used anywhere in the world!

20 Cleaning Ergonomics educational videos - Ergoclean One of the outputs of the project (IO2) was to develop educational videos that could be used to teach cleaning ergonomics. The scenarios and principles of the videos were developed in cooperation with the partners.

🙌It's so nice to meet the project team in real life again. This time we met as part of the LTT event in Amsterdam. The goal of the LTT event is to introduce changes in the ergonomics educational materials based on the feedback and experience we have gathered in different countries during the test period of the educational materials.
We gathered new innovative knowledge in the field of cleaning ergonomics from the Interclean cleaning fair in Amsterdam. We have received confirmation that many of the principles we cover in both educational videos and educational materials are also the principles of many manufacturers of cleaning supplies. The project team have gathered new information from the cleaning fair, with which we can supplement the educational materials.

⭐The most exciting output of the project is the development of 20 ergonomics educational videos.
👉The goal is to develop universal educational videos that can be used throughout Europe and, why not, throughout the world.

👉In these educational videos, we would use a lot of visual solutions so that the video can be understood only visually, regardless of the native language of the viewer.
👉We discuss the scenarios of all the videos with the project partners so that different points of view of the cleaning activities are reflected.

⭐Cleaning ergonomics training videos will be ready by the end of 2023.

Do you know the risk factors related to the ergonomics of cleaning work and work accidents? Do you know how to avoid or reduce them?

Smart wear measurements illustrate the load of cleaning work 👆
Cleaning is considered a medium-heavy job. What does that mean and where does the load fall? The ErgoClean project set out to find the answer using smart wear measurements.
Measurment results are analyzed and raport is done!🙌

We started 01.11.2022 survey with Cleaning companies to see cleaners and supervisiors view and companies needs for Ergonomical cleaning. From Estonia, Hungary, Finland and Netherlands will participate 10 cleaning companies and we make survey with 2 supervisiors and 5 cleaners from each company. Survey lasted one month and collected answers was analyzed.

Cleaning ergonomics materials
The latest known analysis of occupational diseases and accidents in the EU was published in 2009 (Emmanuelle Brun, European Agency for Safety and Health Work).
Since then, cleaning has changed significantly, and we are started to collect cleaning ergonomics materials from different countries. First results and summary are here and we still working with searching.https://ergoclean.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Training_materials-1.pdf

In the test situations, ergonomically correct and consciously incorrect cleaning were carried out, and the load of the cleaning methods on the hands was tested. The analysis of the results is ongoing, but already the first quick reports of the analysis program give reason to expect interesting results. The aim is for them to allow us to illustrate what good ergonomics are and why they are so important in the instructional material. The infographic below shows the muscle load in two different cleaning methods that can be used to achieve the same cleaning result. Research with smart clothing was conducted in Finland

Meeting in Amsterdam 13.05.2022

We had very informative Project meeting in Amsterdam, where we discussed different countries cleaning methods. Soon we start to share analyzes and differences.
