Work posture is the position and condition of the body or body parts during the performance of work. Good
work posture is as important for the performance of tasks as it promotes health and minimizes stress and
discomfort during work. The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) is a widely used tool designed for the
investigations of the work posture. In this concern, this research work has been conducted in a leading ceramic
industry of Bangladesh in order to study and assess the work postures of workers working in the production
section through RULA. The objective of the research work was to analyze the various work postures of the
workers of the selected ceramic industry. To analyze the work postures of workers, rapid upper limb assessment
(RULA) technique has been used. RULA has been developed specifically to examine the level of risk associated
with upper limb disorder of individual workers by scoring the different body region of the workers. The results
of this paper would help identify the good or bad work posture as well as the risk level associated with the
different body regions of the workers. It has been found that most workers have been exposed to the upper limb
discomfort which has contributed to the bad work postures. Through the analysis of RULA, it has been revealed
that no posture is risk free for the workers working in the production section of the ceramic industry. According
to RULA, further investigation is needed for 15.38% of workers, prompt investigation and changes are required
for 41.02% of the workers and finally 43.59% of the workers need immediate investigation and changes in order
to maintain the desired performance level and increase the productivity as well
