Analysis on the Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSD’s) Based on Ergonomic Study in Case of Industry Study

Abstract —Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) can affect the body's muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Most work-related MSDs develop over time and are caused either by the work itself or by the employees ' working environment. The paper presents a case study on the analysis of the Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD’s) occur when there is a mismatch between the requirements of the job and the physical capacity of the human body. Risk factors linked with WMSD’s include repetitive motion, heavy lifting, forceful exertion, awkward posture, and rapid hand and wrist motion. In a review of loss-based data (1993), ergonomic-related injuries are the single greatest source of lost-time in the workplace today. Currently, these injuries account for between 33 % and 40 % of total worker compensation spending. This statistics compiled by the Occupational Safet
