Aktivitas penanganan bahan secara manual masih banyak kita temui dalam kehidupan sehari-hari saat melaksanakan sebuah pekerjaan. Ketidak ergonomis pekerjaan material handling (MMH) akan menimbulkan risiko keluhan muskuloskeletal disorder (MSDs). Selain dapat menyebabkan risiko-risiko muskuloskeletal, MMH meningkatkan kelelahan otot lokal akibat banyaknya kontraksi yang terlibat dan low back pai...

This paper focuses on reducing the occupational risks while assembling a multistage pump. A sample of 10 employees who assemble the multistage pump from an Indian semiautomatic pump manufacturing industry was studied. Awkward postures manifested in these tasks cause strain in the employee's body which lead to fatigue, injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. These tasks were evaluated on th...

abstract   background:  nowadays, musculoskeletal disorders (msds) are the most common problems in the workplaces. non-ergonomic workstation and job design lead the workers to expose to various kinds of risk factors that cause msds. in this study, rapid upper limb assessment (rula) and nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire (nmq) were used for assessing the risk of cause musculoskeletal disorders...

A wide variety of observational methods have been developed to evaluate the ergonomic workloads in manufacturing. However, the precision and accuracy of these methods remain a subject of debate. The aims of this study were to develop biomechanical methods to evaluate ergonomic workloads and to compare them with observational methods. Two observational methods, i.e. SCANIA Ergonomic Standard (SE...
