This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the work-related
musculoskeletal problems of women production line employees in relation
to their work postures and movements. At the beginning of the study in
each of the eight factories, a walk-through survey was carried out to enable
the researcher to understand the processes and tasks as well as to briefly
observe the ergonomic risk factors (work postures and movements) .
Women who were Malaysians, production line employees (up to the level of
line leader) who were directly involved in production, and had worked for at
least one year in the current factory were selected by the management of
each factory for a questionnaire survey. A total of 529 respondents
participated in the survey. The data was collected using a guided selfadministered questionnaire. Further i nformation was collected from a subsample
of 330 women workers to obtain in-depth information about the
description, severity and treatment of the most frequent body pain site. |
