The laundry business in India is especially vulnerable to work-related Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) due to a variety of variables such as ironing, awkward postures, repetitive duties, and so on. The goal of this case study is to investigate the severity of Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSD) among Indian laundry Ironers. Laundry Ironers in the laundry business are increasingly vocal about their dissatisfaction with musculoskeletal problems. The purpose of this research study was to identify the areas that are dangerous for a professional washing clothes over the whole work cycle. Furthermore, it throws light on the workplace-related issues encountered by Laundry Ironers as a result of existing laundry methods and equipment, particularly when considering the environment and equipment used. This research includes a wide range of these laundry houses, as well as their economic position and ratings of the working conditions they offer. The postural evaluations were carried out using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), methodologies for measuring and comparing ergonomic risk factors associated with a person's employment. The findings and results from this study were used to examine workplace-related dangers for professionals involved in every step of ironing clothes. These findings were also applied to design suggestions and actions to enhance workplace ergonomics and appropriateness.

The pandemic period forces all learning processes to be carried out online by utilizing internet facilities with a laptop. The position of using a laptop that is not ergonomic can cause musculoskeletal disorder. This study aims to determine the correlation between position and duration of student use of laptops during online learning with Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). This research is analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted on active students of the Medical Study Program, Muhammadiyah Palembang University, with 416 respondents. Primary data collection was taken using a questionnaire with a Nordic Body Map score. The analysis technique used the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the respondents had a high duration of laptop use (48.8%), with a not good position (42.3%).Most musculoskeletal disorders were felt in the neck (75.5%). There was a correlation between the position of using a laptop and musculoskeletal disorders (p 0.652). However, there was no correlation between the duration of laptop use and musculoskeletal disorders (p 0.002). It can be concluded that the position of using a laptop that is not ergonomic caused musculoskeletal disorders.
