| Summary: | This paper emphasizes an ergonomics intervention to fit jobs for workers in the handling of air handler panels in a manufacturing factory. Ergonomic risk factors were identified by means of qualitative and quantitative data from general survey, participative assessments, and direct observations. Ergonomics intervention via real life experiment was implemented. Post survey incorporating participative assessments and direct observations was subsequently conducted to gauge its effectiveness. This intervention comprises the introduction of a steel trolley for horizontal placing of steel panels and a mobile steel rack for vertical placing of those panels. This actionoriented study produced results which were in line with the objective of the research. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. |
