Abstract

Although rapid technological developments and increasing mechanisation in the workplace seem to ease the workload on human body, as a result of occupational duties, musculoskeletal disorders have still persisted in the industrially developed and developing countries among the most pervasive diseases. This leads to economical losses which affect not only individuals but also the organizations and the society as a whole. Therefore, it is crucial that risk analysis of such duties be done and the factors leading to physical loads on human be determined before such ailments occur. In this study, the most widely used ergonomic risk assessment tools were grouped and compared in terms of their pros and cons. Besides, a sample analysis was carried out on the employees in the loading department of a company and the results were evaluated.

Özet

İş yerlerinde, hızlı teknolojik ilerlemeler ve artan mekanizasyon insan vücudu üzerindeki yükleri azaltıyor gibi görünmesine rağmen, sanayi bakımından gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları, mesleki görevlerin bir sonucu olarak, en önemli rahatsızlıklarından biri olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu da ekonomik kayıpları beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu kayıplar sadece bireyleri değil, bir bütün olarak örgütleri ve toplumları da etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle, bu tür rahatsızlıkların ortaya çıkmadan önce, görevlerin risk analizlerinin yapılması, insan üzerinde fiziksel yüklenmeye neden olan faktörlerin tespiti büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, en çok kullanılan ergonomik risk değerlendirme araçları gruplandırılmış, üstün ve zayıf yönleriyle bir karşılaştırması yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, bir işletmenin yükleme bölümündeki çalışanları üzerinde örnek bir analiz yapılmış ve sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir.
