Ergonomic approach of assessing the present handloom working status may help in finding some effective solutions. The studies carried out on investigating the ergonomic issues prevalent in carpet industries of Iran, witnessed improvement in quality, productivity and occupational health among the carpet menders [5-8]. In the handloom industry of Western India, study carried out on weavers, on ergonomic issues, suggest difference in prevailing of Musculo Skeletal Disorders (MSD) among males and females[9].This supports the need for ergonomic study in handloom sector of NE India that mainly consists of female weavers, as no gender specific considerations, either anthropometric or physiological, is taken into account in the present design of handloom. Some work has been reported on male weavers regarding posture, repetitiveness, respiratory problems, environmental condition, in different parts of India [9- 14] but there is a lack of detailed study on ergonomic issues on women weavers. Some initial studies have been conducted in the handloom industry of NE, addressing working posture related problems faced by the female weavers at the workplace [15].
