After visiting various small scale industries, It was observed that in the small scale industries the ergonomics is hardly
given preferences and the space provided to the workers is not appropriate. Workers are performing the operations under great
difficulties and bear stress on their bodies. This is due to several reasons as justified by the photographs taken of the workers
performing the operations. By using REBA method, it was observed that in every category of processes taken into
consideration, each worker is under muscular stress. This has been shown by the percentage calculated from the REBA Score
Sheet which is based on the posture analysis of photographs of the worker taken from different small scale industries. It is
mandatory to make some urgent improvement in the industries for the betterment of the workers to perform their
operations/tasks with minimum load and stress on their bodies. During the calculations of the postures, it was observed that the
workers are subjected to different muscular disorders while preforming different tasks. In the blanking, cutting and shearing
operations the worker has to lift the heavy loads and to hold them for certain time while operation is to be performed. As in the
furnace operation, the worker has to bend and the stress is observed on the back and neck. Hence the necessary and requisite
improvement should be done in every operation. The owners of the industries must concentrate on the ergonomics to increase
the productivity of the worker and to get the best results.
