Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between working conditions and musculoskeletal disorders in an assembly facility. I believe that the physical and psychosocial aspects of work have a significant influence on the individual worker’s health and well-being. The work organization at which I evaluated the employee’s health and well-being was at a large manufacturing assembly facility. This research is based upon the Balance Theory Model of Smith & Carayon-Sainfort [5, 6].The overall aim of this research is to improve the long term health and well being of worker’s in a manufacturing assembly facility. The overall purpose of this research is to try to identify the stressful working condition and attempt to control it. By trying to control the various musculoskeletal disorders in the work environment, you should also attempt to reduce or eliminate the level of stress, and to try to reduce or eliminate the level of strain.KeywordsHuman FactorsErgonomicsMusculoskeletal DisordersPsychosocialBalance Theory ModelApplied Field ResearchManufacturingAssemblyProduction Processes
