The cost of the interventions was low (i.e., the cost
of installing two exhaust fans, providing earplugs to
workers in trim–form and testing processes, and installing
platforms at the die-bonding and wire-bonding
processes). All these cost less than $3,000 and do
not require much capital investment; however, they
have a great impact on the workers’OHS. Indeed, these
simple ergonomics solutions make ergonomics more
acceptable to factories in IDCs like Malaysia, where
resources are limited. These solutions can be used to
help managers to accept the concept of ergonomics
in IDCs, particularly the idea that ergonomics need
not be expensive but can produce good results in
improving OHS.
