Study a nd Assessment of Workplace Ergonomics in Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

This study delves into the critical aspect of workplace ergonomics within the manufacturing industry. Ergonomics, the science of designing environments and tools to fit human capabilities and limitations, plays a pivotal role in enhancing worker health, safety, and productivity. In the context of the manufacturing sector, where workers are often exposed to physically demanding tasks and repetitive motions, optimizing ergonomics is paramount.
Furthermore, this research endeavours to quantify the economic impact of ergonomic improvements by examining factors such as reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and healthcare cost savings. By employing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including surveys, ergonomic assessments, and financial analyses, this study aims to provide a holistic understanding of the significance of workplace ergonomics in the manufacturing sector.
The findings of this study are expected to offer valuable insights to manufacturing industry stakeholders, including employers, policymakers, and occupational health professionals, facilitating evidence-based decision-making and resource allocation towards creating safer, healthier, and more efficient work environments. Ultimately, by prioritizing ergonomic principles, manufacturing organizations can foster a culture of safety and well-being while simultaneously enhancing operational performance and competitiveness in the global market
