| 概要 |
Musculoskeletal disorders are the most common issues associated with poor working conditions among industrial workers of small and medium-sized industries of developing countries. This study focuses o...n the ergonomic considerations that are necessary to prevent and quantify problems or hazards related with MSDs in small scale companies. Analysis of MSDs was preformed through RULA, with a specific scenario of a welding firm that deviates from all these features. The study involved 10 male welders in all. The results showed that no worker received a RULA score of 1-2 (level 1), and that 90% of the workers had a score of 5-7. These findings suggested that adjustments in working postures are required to improve welder safety and comfort. The final RULA score (mean 5.91) emphasize welding workers' poor workstation design on the job. The most commonly reported areas of risk were the neck, shoulder, and lower back (trunk). Awkward posture, long duration, and repetitive activities were all substantial risk factors. The final RULA score drops to mean 2.93 with correct ergonomic interventions subsequently none of these workers have an RULA score of 5 or above, indicating that improved working posture creates less MSDs and is safe to adopt.続きを見る
