In this cross sectional study 46 participants agreed to participate in the study. Ergonomic risk assessment was done using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment and functional status of the 30 bankers suffering through neck pain was assessed using Neck Disability Index. All the participants screened using RULA showed moderate risk for both right and left upper limb. Functional status of the participants found to be 8.54±3.277 showing mild disability. Awareness regarding musculoskeletal injuries is also necessary for their avoidance.

Manual job in sugar factory involves the separating the sugarcane leaves before it is crushed into the crush rollers, checking the texture of juice extracted, crystallized sugar, comparing the colour crystallized sugar from raw sugar, adjusting packages into machine for packing, loading the packed sugar into trucks to store them into warehouse increasing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Method: This observational at Pravara Sugar Factory Ltd. Loni. Total 4 jobs requiring manual workers and 50 workers performing the tasks were observed using Rapid Entire Body Assessment. Result: Results observed from REBA method indicate that 50% tasks performed by the workers were in 4 th level (very high risk), 18.75% of tasks were in 3 rd (high risk), 25% tasks were in 2 nd level (medium risk) and 6.25% tasks were in level 1 (low risk) of final scores categories by REBA method. Conclusion: Tasks per...

They are the most common cause of severe long-term pain and physical disability affecting the psychosocial status of affected people as well as their families and caretakers. In all occupations, incorrect working posture is the most important cause of musculoskeletal disorders. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the work postures of street vendors using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted. Work postures were assessed in 60 street vendors by employing the REBA method. Stratified sampling was used. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation and regression analysis was tested using SPSS software. Results: The results show that 71% of vendors had a high risk of developing musculoskeletal disorder.No significant relationship was found between age and REBA score (p= 0.1142, Pearson’s correlation 0.2). The relationship between years of work e...
