| description | BACKGROUND:
Workplace inspections are applied to facilitate the adherence to the occupational health and safety regulations. The Iranian Ministry of Health introduced a new software system for tablets to inspect workplaces.
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this study was to take measurements of the usability, mental workload, and mood of inspectors.
METHODS:
Inspectors used both pen-and-paper and tablet methods to inspect the automotive industry in a mixed-method procedure. The NASA-TLX score, QUIS score, I-PANAS (SF) situation, inspection time, and number of errors were collected throughout the procedure. The differences were investigated using a paired sample and the Wilcoxon signed ranks test.
RESULTS:
In terms of efficacy, using the tablet resulted in lower error rates, but it took longer to complete the inspection task (P |

RESULTS:
In terms of efficacy, using the tablet resulted in lower error rates, but it took longer to complete the inspection task (P < 0.001). Participants perceived a lower workload when inspecting with a tablet rather than the traditional method. (Mental Demand: p < 0.002, Performance: p < 0.009, Effort: p < 0.012, TLX: p < 0.002 based on various subcomponents of NASA-TLX). The newly introduced system’s usability was insufficient.
CONCLUSION:
Although the use of tablets has improved safety inspections, ergonomic redesign of the system and consideration of a user-centered approach, as well as inspector training, can make the system more likely to succeed.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1051-9815</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1875-9270</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.3233/WOR-210035</identifier><identifier>PMID: 36683520</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>London, England: SAGE Publications</publisher><subject>Automobile industry ; Comparative studies ; Design parameters ; Ergonomics ; Inspection ; Inspections ; Mixed methods research ; Occupational health ; Occupational safety ; Redesign ; Safety regulations ; Tablet computers ; Tablets ; Usability ; Workload ; Workloads ; Workplaces</subject><ispartof>Work (Reading, Mass.), 2023-01, Vol.75 (3), p.849-857</ispartof><rights>2023 – IOS Press.
