    Unfavorable machinery assembly in spinning mills is linked to worker pain and physical strain, potentially causing cervicobrachial syndrome. Ergonomic improvements are suggested to mitigate these occupational health risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Ergonomics
    • Industrial Engineering

    Background:

    • Poorly designed machinery can negatively impact worker well-being.
    • Spinning mills present unique ergonomic challenges due to repetitive tasks and heavy loads.
    • Understanding the link between machinery design and physical ailments is crucial for workplace safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the effects of unfavorable machinery assembly on spinning mill workers.
    • To identify ergonomic risk factors contributing to worker discomfort and physical strain.
    • To explore potential improvements in machinery design and work processes.

    Main Methods:

    • Evaluation of work processes and worker movements.
    • Measurement of physical parameters: working heights, grasping space, load weights, operating resistance, lifting distances.
