Showing and discussing activity in high-risk industries: drawing as an intermediary object |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
As an ergonomist, showing activity in its many forms is crucial to the sucessful excecution of processes. However, high risk industries face strict regulatory constraints, restricting external stakeholders from observing and recording activity using traditional techniques such as audio or video recording. As part of a recent acamedic research project, one student used drawing as a tool for overcoming these barriers in a nuclear plant environment. Showing the situational context through drawings has proved useful in collecting data, analysing them, illustrating activity and interacting with other stakeholders.
The results of our research offer to characterize this tool and its features, suggesting how ergonomics could benefit from it. As a stopgap artefact, interpersonal mediation instrument, discloser of invisible aspects or reflective tool, drawing seems to have versatile and multipurpose capabilities that could be applied at all stages of ergonomic-related interventions. This article provides conceptual insights and practical recommendations to leverage drawing as a key tool for ergonomists.
