Abstract: (2637 Views)
Aim: MusculoSkeletal Disorders (MSDs) are the most common and most costly occupational injuries and one of the main causes of work-related disability and disability among workers. The aim of this study was musculoskeletal disorders evaluation of glass factory workers using the discomfort survey questionnaire and Assessment Repetitive Tasks (ART) method
Method and Instruments: This study was a cross-sectional study. Data were collected by census of active workers in the two main production halls. The MSDs data among 40 workers were collected using the discomfort survey questionnaire. Four types of activity were evaluated by ART method. The study data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software.
Findings: The results obtained from the questionnaire and evaluation of ART method were consistent. According to the results obtained from the left and right were as different levels of risk and the right to 42.17% of the average risk level, 28.14 percent and 28.14 percent of high-risk but low level of risk to low risk level and 85.42% of the left 85.42 percent average risk and 28.14% of the high - risk level is obtained.
Conclusion: For most tasks sides of the body with moderate risk level. By providing simple and low-cost solutions, as well as management of these disorders can be prevented to some extent.
