Postural analysis of dumper operators and construction workers – a case study
This case study aims at assessing and understanding the level of ergonomics in manual material handling tasks (loading, granite cutting, concrete mixing, brickwork, and plastering) of civil construction workers and dump truck drivers working in Indian opencast mines. The study involves the determination of the level of musculoskeletal disorder and predicting the most affected body parts due to incorrect working posture. The comprehensive methodology involved in this study includes rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) and rapid entire body assessment (REBA) techniques to find the risk involved in the working posture of the construction workers and dump truck drivers. The study showed that posture adopted in civil construction work and dump truck operators (loading and unloading task) are ergonomically incorrect and may cause musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) related problems in the future. This study also showed that the trunk and wrist are the most affected parts of the body in construction workers and the neck and wrist in case of the dumper operator while performing different tasks.
