(24 cards)
what are the two aspects to fitness and health
the disposition of the engineer before starting their job and the day-to-day wellbeing of the engineer once employed
what can compromise an engineer’s ability to preform maintenance and carry out inspection
Poor physical fitness and health

in the workplace, what is arousal mainly determined by
stimulation from work tasks, although environmental factors, such as noise, can have some influence
what does the ‘workload’ term generally used to describe
the degree of stimulation a task exerts on an employee

at very high levels of workload
when does underload occur
at very ow levels of workload

what is commonly known as the “body clock.”
what does the circadian rhythms control

the brain

physiological
subjective
in the circadian rhythm, when is the sharpest blood pressure rise
06:45
what are some of the different medication that can hinder or aid performance
analgesics
anti-biotics
