To investigate and assess the prevalence of ergonomic issues, cluster of handloom units in NE were visited (both in organized and unorganized sectors) and survey on general working status was conducted. Working on loom involves long static sitting posture where limbs are mostly in repetitive motion leading to stress development on the trunk. A survey was conducted between April 2012 till July 2012, in different handloom units from 10 clusters located in and around Guwahati in Assam; a state of NE India, to find out major work related problems prevailed among the women weavers. A sample of 50 subjects were chosen randomly from both organized (government, semi-government and private agencies) and unorganized (self-help group, small loom clusters which are mainly home based) sectors to understand workstation related design problems prevailed in the existing condition. Handloom units with 8 – 9 hours’ work schedule were selected for the study purpose. The workers were all females, apparently healthy without any specific physical problems. The subjects were allowed to use work schedule and duration of work-pause of their own practice. The personal characteristics of the weaves are given in Table 1.
