| description | This study is conducted to investigate the workstation design and the analysis on the
student working posture in electrical wiring lab at Politeknik Tuanku Syed
Sirajuddin, Arau Perlis for any relation between manual tools handling and
significant risk factors related to body postural perceived exertion. The study is
focusing on six different activities of wiring task that are screwing and tightening the
electrical cable to wall lamp module, ceiling lamp module, lower level power socket
outlet, screwing of the socket box to wall wooden panel, screwing of the enclose
power outlet at the lowest level and the middle level. All of these activities are
manually carried out and investigation on postural position the injuries related to
musculoskeletal disorder injuries will be avoided. The study also focusing on
workstation environment that is not conducive to work because of high humidity and
need a good air flow design. Begin with Borg’s RPE Scale questionnaire to the 5
participants whose previously work with the task given. The Borg’s RPE result is
compared to the anthropometric data taken. For better result, RULA (Rapid Upper
Limb Assessment) become main tools for ergonomics assessment on the student
individual upper limb MSD. Evaluator will focus on the selected activities as
mentioned earlier for the assessment. Result with very high-risk level and RULA
Score of 7 will need immediate investigation. On top of that work task postural also
need to be change with new postural position implemented. All of these assessments
are using worksheet. Based on RULA the result, the activities above students
shoulder required immediate change and new working procedure are been proposed
and implemented. |
