Design Intervention for Reduction of Risk of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders in Tyre Cutting Units in Jabalpur, India
The risk of Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in the unorganized sector of tyre cutting units of Jabalpur was found to be very high and requiring immediate intervention. Based on the study, a handheld tool was designed and its impact was measured in helping reduce the risk factors contributing to WMSDs for the workers. Further studies are encouraged with some suggestions to help reduce the impact on the reduction of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders in the informal sector.
