Abstract
The article presents a multiple-criteria-based evaluation of the suitability of selected measuring devices for assessing fatigue levels in miners during underground work in a bituminous coal mine. The changing levels of fatigue and decreased psychomotor performance influence worker reliability and susceptibility to accidents. Therefore, monitoring the level of fatigue can be a means of accident prevention. The study allowed to identify the physiological parameters that are relevant in monitoring worker reliability. A multi-criterial compartment establish most reliable fatigue indicators based on before and after work measurements: multi-frequency segmental body composition analysis, reaction time and recognition with Dufour Cross-Shaped Apparatus and analysis of changes in power grip strength.
