Postural analysis of building construction workers using ergonomics
Ergonomics deals with the study of internal and external stresses acting on the human body. Use of ergonomic principles reduces fatigue experienced by the human body in various tasks. This study is related to various tasks on building construction. Most of the injuries, stresses and strains occur due to over-exertion and repetitive work actions. The aim of this study is to assess and understand the level of ergonomics in various tasks in the construction industry. Another aim of the study is to find the level of musculoskeletal disorders and suggest corrective measures for every task having high risk factor. The study is conducted by using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment and Rapid Entire Body Assessment techniques to assess the posture of the workers in various construction tasks.
