Ergonomic Hazards and Control Measures among Sewing Machine Operators

The workplace has the potential to negatively impact employees; performance in a variety of ways, including dissatisfaction, exhaustion, frustration, minor or serious injuries that limit worker; capacity to complete everyday duties, and even death in extreme situations. Ergonomics, often known as human factors engineering, aims to match the job to the worker rather than the worker to the job. The role of ergonomics in textile sewing machine operators was investigated in this research. In a group of twenty people, individual and work-related risk factors in the development of occupational musculoskeletal problems were investigated primarily in the sewing sector. Musculoskeletal diseases are one of the most common causes of decreased productivity in today’s workplace. The situation is supposedly far worse in developing countries, with many industries reporting terrible conditions. Additionally, in developing countries, there may be a major lack of understanding of ergonomics issues, education and training programmes, and accreditation. So this study adopted a descriptive cross sectional design in which textile sewing machine operators were analyzed using REBA method.
