This paper intends to predict time-related fatigue experienced among workers involved in the overhead assembly of submersible pumps. Borg's CR-10 scale, the Samn-Perelli fatigue scale (SPFS), and dimensions of the Swedish occupational fatigue inventory (SOFI) were used to assess and predict fatigue. The results of a temporal analysis indicate that fatigue levels in this type of job increase throughout the work at a diminishing rate. Exploratory analysis revealed that Borg's CR-10 scale is more reliable than SPFS in predicting fatigue. It was also observed that the physical discomfort dimension of SOFI is the predominant one for predicting fatigue in the selected task. Older and more experienced groups of workers showed significantly increased fatigue, while body mass index (BMI)based groups did not show such differences.
OPSOMMINGHierdie artikel poog om die tyd-verwante uitputting wat deur werkers wat dompelpompe oorhoofs monteer te voorspel. Borg se CR-10 skaal, die Samn-Perelli uitputtingskaal en sekere dimensies van die Sweedse arbeidsuitputtingsinventaris is gebruik om uitputting te beoordeel en te voorspel. Die resultate van ʼn temporale analise dui daarop dat uitputtingsvlakke in hierdie tipe werk toeneem teen ʼn verminderende tempo. Ondersoekende analise toon dat Borg se CR-10 skaal meer betroubaar as die Samn-Perelli skaal is om uitputting te voorspel. Daar is ook waargeneem dat die fisiese ongemak dimensie van die Sweedse arbeidsuitputtingsinventaris die oorheersende dimensie is om uitputting te voorspel vir dié spesifieke taak. Ouer en meer ervare groepe werkers het noemenswaardig verminderde uitputting getoon. Daarteenoor het groepe wat volgens die liggaamsmassaindeks ingedeel is nie sulke verskille aan die lig gebring nie.
