Abstract

The Ergonomics is an applied science of equipment design, as for the workplace, intended to maximize workers’ productivity by reducing operator fatigue, discomfort and risk of injury in order to improve the quality of work life. Inthe developing countries, women carry a heavy load on their head at construction sites as most of the work is manually done by them. Most of them adopt the wrong posture while carrying the load and face several problems related to health. About 72 percent of women lift load by bending their back whereas only 28 percent of them lifted load by bending their knees. Though the head mode was energy efficient but the stress in neck muscle and cervical spine did contribute to cervical spondylitis, which is the major health risk. The design of the intervention is such that instead of concentrating total weight of load on head a part of load is transferred to shoulder, which is preventing direct loading of cervical spine. The idea thus focuses on developing a system to improve the safety of carrying loads by focusing on Ergonomics.
