| description | Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) occur when there is a mismatch between
physical requirements of the job and the physical capacity of the human body. Many
manufacturing sector industries, especially workers from heavy industries are facing
this kind of problem. MSDs have caused lost workdays, injuries, increased the total
costs of workers compensation claims, and decreased employee morale, quality and
productivity. Keeping these facts in view, present study was planned and
investigations were undertaken, in a manufacturing industry, PHN Industry, Shah
Alam, Selangor where a cross-sectional study was carried out on a group of male
workers in an automotive factory. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder and its relationship with various work -related
and demographic factors. |
