“…Outro agravante é o fato de que conforme os quadris giram, maior pressão é aplicada na coluna quando o tronco é dobrado para a frente, causando dores nas costas e lesões. Portanto, manter uma boa postura sentada durante o trabalho não só melhora a eficiência, mas também protege a saúde do trabalhador (Mgemena et al, 2017).…”

Objetivo: avaliar aspectos ergonômicos e a associação entre saúde ocupacional e estado nutricional de copeiras de um hospital universitário no município de Aracaju/SE. Estudo descritivo exploratório, de caráter transversal, observacional e de abordagem quantitativa. Foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado, elaborado pelos autores, quanto aos dados sociodemográficos. O estado nutricional foi classificado através do Índice de Massa Corporal (kg/m2). Os sintomas osteomusculares foram identificados através do Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). O local de trabalho foi avaliado através de check list baseado nas diretrizes estabelecidas pela Norma Regulamentadora Brasileira nº 17, sendo feito dimensionamento do mobiliáro e aferição de temperatura e ruído. Os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva e a comparação entre estado nutricional e saúde ocupacional realizada através do teste qui-quadrado, utilizando um nível de significância de p<0,05. Resultados e discussão: Participaram do estudo 12 colaboradoras com idade média de 40,25 (± 8,29) anos. A maioria das colaboradoras (91,7%) estava com excesso de peso, sendo o IMC médio de 30,2 (± 5,5) kg/m2. Foi observada associação significativa para dor na região do joelho (p=0,04) quando comparado excesso de peso e obesidade. Conclusão: o trabalho das colaboradoras se mostrou repetitivo, com permanência em pé na maior parte do tempo e com exigência de muito esforço físico, expondo as trabalhadoras a vários riscos ocupacionais. O estado nutricional da maioria das colaboradoras demonstrou-se inadequado, com alta prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade, fato que reflete nas dores sentidas e na saúde geral das colaboradoras.

“…RULA analysis from the observation results showed that 43.20% of scavengers had a score of 7, indicating a change in posture should be done immediately.Meanwhile, 45.5% of scavengers got a score of 5, indicating that changes in posture must be carried out immediately. The chi-square analysis showed a significant relationship between the neck and low back pain prevalence with an identified risk level at p<0.05 [25]. Complaints of musculoskeletal disorders are thought to be influenced by nonergonomic work postures, according to the REBA method assessment of the factors that cause complaints of musculoskeletal disorders, including long working time, loading, frequency, and handgrip [26].…”

Objective and Background: The process of sampling the air quality of chimney emissions is a job that has the risk of causing work-related disorders and diseases. This study examines the relationship between the risk of ergonomics in work postures with material safety data sheet complaints on sampling activities. Methods: Analytical observational method with cross sectional approach. using the Nordic Body Map questionnaire and the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) assessment sheet. Primary data and secondary data were analyzed using Rank Spearman statistical test. Results: The level of risk of ergonomics in work postures at each stage of activity varies from low risk (value 2-3), medium (value is 4-7), and high (value 8 -10). Meanwhile, the level of MSDscomplaints was low (score 28-49) 11.1%, moderate complaints (score 50-70) were 44.4% and high complaints (score 71-91) were 44.4%. The results of the analysis test showed that there was a relationship between the level of ergonomics risk of working postures at 6 stages of activity, namely pre sampling, side preparation, climbing stairs, raising equipment, lowering equipment, and descending stairs (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the other 4 stages of activity, namely sampling with a probe, sampling with a gas analyzer, measuring water content, and measuring particulate levels, there is no relationship between the level of ergonomics in work posture and complaints of MSDs, to reduce the risk of M.S.D.s complaints, efforts can be made through redesigning work stations that are not ergonomic with the use of tools to reduce workload.

“…A photogrammetric analysis method was used by (Naddeo et al, 2015) to measure joint angles of the Neck, shoulders, elbow and wrists for comfort evaluation of upper extremities of the human body. Microsoft Kinect has been recommended as an alternative method for risk assessment because of its low cost and 3D motion capture capabilities (Diego-Mas and Alcaide-Marzal, 2014;Dutta, 2012;Ho et al, 2016;Mgbemena et al, 2018Mgbemena et al, , 2017Mgbemena et al, , 2016Rosário, 2014).…”

The high rate of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among workers on the shop floor has led to the development of various ergonomic evaluation and risk assessment tools by researchers. This paper presents a summary of existing literature reviews of hardware and software technologies developed for effective ergonomic evaluation and correct risk assessment on manufacturing shop floors. Criteria was set for the review and after comprehensive search on 14 databases, 24 studies met the criteria. Old and modern ergonomic evaluation hardware and software technologies for effective evaluation on shop floors are identified. Most literatures cited the digital human models (DHMs), which can be created on many ergonomic evaluation software tools, to be an effective ergonomic evaluation tool. Gaps are identified with the use of DHMs for ergonomic evaluations. Ultimately, this study is a contribution towards identifying adequate ergonomic evaluation and correct risk assessment tools which when implemented on the Shop floor, can lead to improved productivity, enhanced efficiency and reduced cost.
