TiCon EAWS > TiCon Base and EAWS

The calculation of an EAWS® evaluation is possible if the element itself has an EAWS® structure, or if all the elements used in its structure have an EAWS® structure. A calculated EAWS® evaluation is the prerequisite for use in balancing if this is used in "Aggregrate EAWS® evaluation" mode. The evaluation is also displayed in the search and Explorer.

If no changes have been made in the "Workplace organization" tab, during the evaluation TiCon assumes that the sequence described in the EAWS® structure is always repeated cyclically over the duration of a complete shift (without breaks/balancing difference between the repetitions).

The evaluation is updated by clicking on the "Refresh" button. This is especially important when subsequent changes were made! With the help of this overview, the calculation of the point values for the respective load center can be understood.

For forces and loads, detailed ratings can be displayed by clicking on the arrow to the right of the respective force/load for which ratings are available (see screenshot for an example of whole-body forces).

Example for an evaluation

No signal light is used since strains cannot be rigidly defined. Instead, a colored sign is used, which color changes continuously from green to yellow to red according to the point value.

Interpretation of the evaluation results:

Symbol	Evaluation	Recommendation
	GREEN (LOW RISK, RECOMMENDED): The risk of sickness or injury is negligible or at a low level acceptable for all worker coming into consideration.	No action is needed.
	YELLOW (POSSIBLE RISK, NOT RECOMMENDED): A complete or partially non-negligible risk of sickness or injury exists for the worker coming into consideration.	A further risk assessment as well as an analysis is carried out, taking into consideration other risk factors involved. Measures to redesign or, if this is not possible, other measures to control the risk must then be taken as soon as possible.
	RED (HIGH RISK, TO BE AVOIDED): The risk of sickness or injury is apparent and it is not acceptable to expose the worker coming into consideration to this risk.	Actions to lower the risk are necessary.

Recommendation

GREEN (LOW RISK, RECOMMENDED):

The risk of sickness or injury is negligible or at a low level acceptable for all worker coming into consideration.

No action is needed.

YELLOW (POSSIBLE RISK, NOT RECOMMENDED):

A complete or partially non-negligible risk of sickness or injury exists for the worker coming into consideration.

A further risk assessment as well as an analysis is carried out, taking into consideration other risk factors involved. Measures to redesign or, if this is not possible, other measures to control the risk must then be taken as soon as possible.

RED (HIGH RISK, TO BE AVOIDED):

The risk of sickness or injury is apparent and it is not acceptable to expose the worker coming into consideration to this risk.

Actions to lower the risk are necessary.
