Track: Human Factors and Ergonomics

Abstract

Data obtained from the Survey of Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), comfort ability level of garment workers on the current physical environment, ergonomic tools to gather Physical Environment data. Inputs are the Number of Respondents, Physical working conditions, working posture: Work related Musculoskeletal Disease (WMSD), Physical Environment such as Noise, Light, and Temperature and current Personal Protective equipment. Cornell Musculoskeletal and hand Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ) will be used to determine the common parts of the body and hand that aches and common types of musculoskeletal diseases that is experienced by the workers. Frequency distribution and universal pain assessment will be used to determine the prevalence and severity of pain endure by garment workers. Actual anthropometric measurements of garment workers from both companies will be tested using hypothesis between link length height and check whether it has significant difference to the actual anthropometric measurement and if it can be used in designing of fixtures. Comfort ability level on physical environment will be tested using multiple linear regression and check whether the comfort ability level of garment workers depends on the physical environment and see whether it has a positive or negative relationship between the physical environments.
