Description
Summary:Nowadays, physical pain is playing a major role in construction industry workers. Discomforts force masons to have a disharmonious and unpleasant atmosphere which affects their interest in finishing their work. It is important to know about the risk factors and its mandatory to bring a comfortable and pleasing working environment to workers. Ergonomics is selected for this study. The main purpose of ergonomics is to analyse the awkward working postures during building construction and finally, to provide techniques to prevent discomfort/pain. By doing so, a comfortable, pleasant and safe setting can be created for workers. Analysis can be done using numerous methods and some of the easy and eco-friendly techniques were specifically studied. For example, asking questions to workers helps in gaining practical knowledge in that particular work and this method does not affect workers’ mentality. Different results and conclusions have been made. Ultimately, these help in minimizing future risk in workers, which in turn increases their capability and curiosity in doing work.
