Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are major contributors to work-related disability and time lost caused by illness. As manual material handlers, mechanics are frequently exposed to the physical risk factors for MSDs. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between manual materials handling and snook mital table among mechanics at tyre service center. This study was conducted in Taiping, Perak. There were 239 of mechanics from various workshops participated in these study with mainly lifting/lowering, pushing/pulling, and carrying tasks. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and interview session which are Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) and Snook Table. NMQ was used to evaluate the exposure of the activities and related physical risk factors that had correlated to one of the region's bodies within a 12-month period while Snook is required for evaluation of the maximum acceptable weight for lifting/lowering, pushing/pulling and carrying. In this research, most mechanics have suffered musculoskeletal symptoms in low back, shoulder, and neck pain. According to Snook analysis, most mechanics are at a medium risk of developing musculoskeletal symptoms as a result of their lifting, lowering, and carrying activity. Several definitions of pain showed a strong correlation between Snook assessment and musculoskeletal disorders. Various possible risk factors of manual materials handling activity, notably the lifting floor to knuckle and lowering floor to knuckle, each had a significant impact on the low back while shoulder and neck showed a significant relation between with lifting above shoulder. Therefore, ergonomic awareness between mechanics should be increased in order to reduce the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and control the manual materials handling activity. The study will be useful to ergonomists, researchers, consultants, workshop managers, maintenance workers and others concerned with identifying ergonomic risk factor on the workplace.

轮胎服务中心机械师手工搬运物料与肌肉骨骼紊乱的关系

肌肉骨骼疾病(MSDs)是造成与工作有关的残疾和疾病造成的时间损失的主要原因。作为手工材料处理人员，机械师经常暴露在MSDs的物理危险因素中。摘要本研究旨在探讨轮胎维修中心机械师手工物料搬运与表压的关系。这项研究是在霹雳州太平进行的。来自不同车间的239名机械师参与了这项研究，主要从事升降、推拉和搬运任务。采用北欧肌肉骨骼问卷(NMQ)和Snook表进行结构化问卷调查和访谈。NMQ用于评估12个月内与该地区某一身体相关的活动和相关物理风险因素的暴露程度，而Snook则用于评估举/降、推/拉和搬运的最大可接受重量。在这项研究中，大多数机械师都有腰、肩和颈部疼痛的肌肉骨骼症状。根据斯努克的分析，大多数机械师由于他们的举、放和搬运活动而有中等风险出现肌肉骨骼症状。对疼痛的几种定义表明，Snook评估与肌肉骨骼疾病之间存在很强的相关性。手工搬运物料活动的各种可能的危险因素，特别是升降地板到指关节和降低地板到指关节，都对下背部有显著的影响，而肩膀和颈部与肩膀以上的搬运有显著的关系。因此，应提高力学之间的人机工程学意识，以减少肌肉骨骼症状的患病率，并控制手工搬运材料的活动。这项研究将对人体工程学专家、研究人员、顾问、车间管理人员、维修工人和其他有关确定工作场所的人体工程学风险因素的人有用。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management (IJIEM) is an interdisciplinary international academic journal published quarterly. IJIEM serves researchers in the industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering and management fields. The major aims are: To collect and disseminate information on new and advanced developments in the field of industrial engineering and management; To encourage further progress in engineering and management methodology and applications; To cover the range of engineering and management development and usage in their use of managerial policies and strategies. Thus, IJIEM invites the submission of original, high quality, theoretical and application-oriented research; general surveys and critical reviews; educational or training articles including case studies, in the field of industrial engineering and management. The journal covers all aspects of industrial engineering and management, particularly: -Smart Manufacturing & Industry 4.0, -Production Systems, -Service Engineering, -Automation, Robotics and Mechatronics, -Information and Communication Systems, -ICT for Collaborative Manufacturing, -Quality, Maintenance and Logistics, -Safety and Reliability, -Organization and Human Resources, -Engineering Management, -Entrepreneurship and Innovation, -Project Management, -Marketing and Commerce, -Investment, Finance and Accounting, -Insurance Engineering and Management, -Media Engineering and Management, -Education and Practices in Industrial Engineering and Management.
