INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF ERGONOMIC AND INDIVIDUAL RISK ELEMENTS IN METAL INDUSTRY EMPLOYEES' WORKING ENVIRONMENTS AND OCCUPATIONAL MUSCULOSKELETAL COMPLAINTS

Abstract

Purpose: In our study, it is aimed to determine the ergonomic risk factors of metal industry workers and the factors that may cause occupational musculoskeletal diseases (MSD). Material and Methods: Our study was conducted with 30 male participants at ‘Karadeniz Eregli Ittifak Metal Çelik Servisi’. The sociodemographic information of the employees was determined by using the Personal Information Form. In order to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints in occupational settings, The Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal questionnaire was used. The ergonomic risk levels of the employees were determined by using the ‘’REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) employee assessment form. The Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire and The Maslach Burnout Inventory were used to determine job satisfaction and burnout levels. Data were analyzed by using IBM SPSS V22. Results: According to the expanded Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, the most common problem areas were upper back with a percentage of 70%, neck with a percentage of 66.7%, and lower back with 43.3%. According to the REBA analysis of the participants in our study, we concluded that there was ergonomically moderate risk and precautions should be taken. In addition, according to the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire and Maclach Burnout Scale results, the participants’ job satisfaction levels were high and their occupational burnout was moderate. Conclusion: In line with our study, we conclude that various elements in the business environment prepare an environment for MSD. We believe that risks can be prevented by regular analysis of ergonomic risks in the working environment of metal industry employees.
