Abstract
Several studies have shown that there is a need of ergonomically fit sewing machine workstation so that sewing machine operators can perform their faddy tasks comfortably. The present study was initiated where worker’s perceptions were measured by preparing questionnaire to find out difficulties during sewing machine work. Questionnaireswere filled up by 100 sewing machine operators from different parts of the region. Questionnaire included the different modules which are Perceived posture, localized postural discomfort andestimatedendurance time. Worker’s perceptions were analyzed by finding their critical values.Based on the criticality index, recommended parameters were performed on selected operators.Nine sewing machine operators performed experiments at twelve different combinations of table height, desk slope and pedal position. ANOVA technique was used to analyze the data obtained from nine selected sewing machine operators after performing experiments and the dimensional adjustment of sewing machine workstation was made, in relation to desk height, desk slope and pedal position. The recommendations were formulated in order to minimize the load on the musculoskeletal system during operation in terms of anthropometric dimensions with respect to sewing desk height, desk slope and pedal position
