Ergonomic evaluation of low-cost intervention for carpet trimming workers exposed to hand vibration and noise

Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the occupational use of low-cost intervention for carpet trimming occupation. This study quantifies the effect of hand-arm vibration and noise exposure to loss in hearing threshold among trimming workers. Ten male participants (right handed) involved in carpet trimming volunteered to participate in this interventional experiment. The participants were queried about the usability of prototype handle based on their subjective perception evaluated through the use of scoresh… Show more

“…Previous studies had mostly investigated upper limb MSDs among the subject who usually performs everyday manual operations in awkward posture with physically powerful efforts and repetitive movements of hand and wrist 24) . It has also been evidently presented in the literatures that an ergonomically designed hand tools can decrease the vibration magnitudes notably 25,26) .…”
