Ergonomics REBA Investigation on Home Sewing Machine Worker and Providing Safe REBA Value for Working

Abstract

In this modern and technology era, all possibilities of job working are concluded with machinery. Though machines take over all the jobs, humans hold jobs along with them. The jobs done by humans are mostly traditional approach. In the mean area of the traditional approach, humans tend to work with more physique involvement. There emerges the requirement of Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). It is conducted over a working job done by a human, where the physique feels injury. Here a worker’s job carried out with a traditional approach, i.e. homemaker sewing machine is analyzed. Throughout the analysis, the worker's comments about the work are taken into consideration. With consideration, further worksheet analysis is made with the REBA worksheet and the value and injury factor is defined. Finally, calculating the safe REBA value which is reduced injury or injury-free working posture is proposed.
