Abstract: (452 Views)
Background and Objectives: Manual handling Workers at Ahvaz Airport are at risk of musculoskeletal disorders Therefore Carrying out tasks and their postures were studied.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study used the census method to survey 21 workers in cargo at Ahvaz Airport. task analysis by HTA method, QEC, and evaluation of manual load by MAC method were used. The tools used for this study included observation, photography, and a CMQD questionnaire. Statistical calculations were done using SPSS 16 and Spearman's correlation coefficient for the variables
Findings: Each of Manual handling Workers at Ahvaz airport moves an average of 400 bags per shift. Spearman's correlation coefficient showed a significant relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and the variables of, age, height, and BMI with values of 0.002, 0.005, and 0.003, respectively. The QEC method was used to observe the worst postures with a numerical score between 50 and 70, which were related to the standing posture at the flat roller and the sitting posture in the aircraft cargo. The examination of the CMQD questionnaire revealed that 61.6%, 65%, and 62% of diseases were related to shoulder, arm, and back.
Conclusion: After job analysis by HTA method and evaluating the results through the QEC method, it was determined that loading and arranging luggage in the cart and cargo were the most risky tasks. Both the MAC and QEC methods also indicated the necessity of changing soon in the process of moving luggage.
