Mine Hoist Operator Training and Information Processing Workload.

PB83220434

Publication Date	1982
Personal Author	Rosenblatt, R.; Loustaunau, P.; Galloway, D.
Page Count	110
Abstract	This report describes a training program for mine hoist operators and a human factors study on the possibility of an information processing overload in mine hoist operators. The first effort addresses formalizaing and accelerating the process of hoist operator training. this was achieved throught the collection of task data, development of training objectives, specifications of controlled training exercises, and development of requisite training materials. Validaiton results are presented. The second effort, addressing hoist operator overload, investigated the potential overload of the hoist operator's abilities to process information and control the hoist. Data were gathered in the field during periods when the probability of operator overload was greatest. The data were analyzed and the conclusions drawn therefrom are presented.
