Handloom industry plays a vital role in economic development of the rural masses in the North Eastern States of India. As many small units in handloom sector have taken weaving at a commercial level, more women weavers are associating with weaving as a part time or full time profession. The activities that women performed for their domestic needs during their leisure time, has now been transformed into their professional work. The work hours spent on loom in commercial weaving is quite longer as compared to that of traditional weaving, many a times, even extending beyond 8 hours of work schedule as laid up in the norms [4]. Hence, requirements for commercial purpose are different from that of domestic weaving. But, in-spite of their changing requirements, neither the task schedule nor are the workstations modified. Moreover, no gender specific considerations, related to female built and physiology have been taken into account. The workplace design for traditional handloom remains unchanged which leads to ergonomic issues among women weavers.
