| Summary: | The primary objective of this study was to determine the
association between risk factors and the prevalence of
musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) among vehicle technician in
Perodua Puchong service center. Overall, 35 technicians from
Perodua Puchong service center were stratified sampling as
participants of this study. For evaluations of perceived MSD in
nine different sections of the body, a modified version of the
general Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was used. This study
made use of the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA),
vibration measurement on a hand power tool, a job content
questionnaire, and force exertion. To assess the impact of risk
factors on MSD prevalence, direct logistic regression was used.
Vehicle technicians at the Perodua Puchong service center are
likely to be exposed to a variety of ergonomic hazards and risk
factors. As a result, ergonomics awareness among employers and
employees, as well as training and information sharing, must be
increasedin order to reduce the prevalence of MSDs. (Abstract by author) |
