This study identified ergonomic and biomechanical hazards in an electronics factory, evaluating worker exposure to force, posture, and repetition. Recommendations focus on engineering, redesign, and administrative controls to mitigate risks.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Ergonomics
  • Industrial Engineering

Background:

  • Workplace analysis is crucial for identifying and mitigating occupational hazards.
  • Electronics factories present unique ergonomic challenges due to repetitive tasks and specific postures.
  • Understanding biomechanical risks is essential for preventing musculoskeletal disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify ergonomic and biomechanical hazards in specific work tasks within an electronics factory.
  • To systematically analyze worker exposure to risk factors: force, posture, pressure, and repetition.
  • To propose actionable recommendations for risk reduction and hazard mitigation.

Main Methods:

  • Objective measures included detailed analysis of training manuals, job descriptions, and production records.
