  2. Effects of fatigue on safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_fatigue_on_safety

    Fatigue can be both physical and mental. Physical fatigue is the inability to continue functioning at the level of one's normal abilities; a person with physical fatigue cannot lift as heavy a box or walk as far as he could if not fatigued. [3] [4] [5] Mental fatigue, on the other hand, rather manifests in sleepiness or slowness. A person with ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue

    Fatigue in a medical context is used to cover experiences of low energy that are not caused by normal life. [2] [3]A 2021 review proposed a definition for fatigue as a starting point for discussion: "A multi-dimensional phenomenon in which the biophysiological, cognitive, motivational and emotional state of the body is affected resulting in significant impairment of the individual's ability to ...

  4. Biological thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_thermodynamics

    Biological thermodynamics (Thermodynamics of biological systems) is a science that explains the nature and general laws of thermodynamic processes occurring in living organisms as nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems that convert the energy of the Sun and food into other types of energy.

  6. Ergonomic hazard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergonomic_hazard

    Repetitive motion is prolonged, repeated movement which causes muscle fatigue and eventually results in nerve damage. This motion can injure soft tissues, such as nerves, muscles, and tendons; examples of injury include tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and bursitis. These motions require breaks during activity to help the nerve ...

[9] The third point, the personnel must be informed about any special hazards and be required to review the safety or operations manual and adhere to established practices and procedures. The ...

  8. Central nervous system fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Nervous_System_Fatigue

    Central nervous system fatigue, or central fatigue, is a form of fatigue that is associated with changes in the synaptic concentration of neurotransmitters within the central nervous system (CNS; including the brain and spinal cord) which affects exercise performance and muscle function and cannot be explained by peripheral factors that affect muscle function.
