Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders and Ergonomic Intervention in Marble and Granite Industries – A Review

SSI’s are the backbone for the growth of Indian economy. It is revealed from the literature review that workers worked continuously in awkward postures for long duration, resulting into injuries and work related musculoskeletal disorders. Apart from pain and suffering , workers experienced a significant and increasing financial burden due to high level of absenteeism and early retirement.. Ergonomic risk assessment will be included in a systematic analysis of potential hazards to ill-health and accidents to eliminate WRMSD’s.The explicit research gaps identified by the authors from the literature review reveals that MSDs occurrence and prevalence of risk factors among workers working manually in granite and marble industries remained untouched till date and not yet been studied so far in this sector. This research case study is an attempt in that direction with the help of ergonomics tools REBA and RULA developed by McAtamney.L., Dr. Sue Hignett.,1995 and McAtmaney, L.,Corlett E.N.,1993
