摘要：
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common work-related health problem in Europe and consequently one of the biggest ergonomics and health and safety concerns. In order to decrease the risk of MSDs in a packaging line of a company that produces heating solutions a study is being developed. After the analysis of the current ergonomic conditions, the goal is to implement improvements in the workstations and an effective job rotation program. The following tools are going to be applied: (1) Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, (2) OCRA, (3) EAWS, and (4) MARZC. The results of the analysis stage show that there are opportunities for ergonomic improvements in the packaging line.
