Description
Summary:India is a land of diversity. It is a country with a wide range of religious community. There are number of religious places where people visit frequently. People remove footwears before entering the religious places. Generally, these religious places run a system to keep the footwears for some duration till the people return from the religious place. The aim this research work was to study the system used for storage & retrieval of these footwears at religious places. Also review of the earlier research work done in case of footwear stands/racks is taken in this work. It was found that very less research work has been done on the footwear storage system used at religious places. An initial level Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) is done using the software tool provided by The Ergonomics Centre, of North Carolina & it is found that detailed investigation is needed in case of the present footwear storage racks used at these places & changes are required immediately otherwise the present system will lead to musculoskeletal disorders. Also the present systems are leading to unhygienic conditions.
