Postural Risk Analysis of Female Artisans Engaged in Traditional Bell Metal Castings Handicraft in India
: Female artisan of the Bell metal handicraft industry spends prolonged time performing handcrafted precision and forceful tasks, which are known to cause occupational risks among the artisans. The objective of the study was to find out work-related risk factors affecting the health condition of female artisans. Qualitative and quantitative assessment was conducted with the help of questionnaire to identify the existing postural and body discomfort. The result showed that the young artisans faced the most discomfort in their upper limbs due to performing several bending and twisting activities for long hours. Ergonomics interventions in the form of improved hand tools and workstations will help female artisans to enhance their performance by avoiding awkward postures and reducing body-part discomfort.
