The study aims to create a framework for ergonomic interventions to minimize musculoskeletal disorders among metal workshop workers in Bangladesh.
Conducted ergonomic assessments using RULA, REBA, OWAS, and spinal compression analysis.
Utilized digital human modeling techniques in CATIA and Tecnomatix Jack.
Designed ergonomic chairs and height-adjustable workbenches based on measurements from 200 male participants.
Appropriately designed ergonomic furniture significantly reduces biomechanical stress in various postures.
Standing postures yielded the lowest risk scores in welding tasks; sitting minimized spinal compression.
Improvements in workstation ergonomics can help reduce the risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders.
