Ergonomic Assessment of Navigation Lock Control Rooms and Consoles

Abstract

Between 23 September and 30 October 1998, an ergonomics team from the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) evaluated the lock control rooms and consoles at the Melvin Price Locks and Dam (Illinois), the Bonneville Lock and Dam (Oregon), the Kentucky Lock and Dam (Kentucky), and the Barkley Lock and Dam (Kentucky). From 10 to 19 November 1999, the USACHPPM team evaluated eight European lock control rooms and consoles. The evaluation team identified deficiencies in the design of the control room and in the design of the console. Lock control operators encountered other stressful conditions as well.
