CMDQ in Musculoskeletal Discomforts during welding lab work in technical education institution

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: The health constraint faced by completion welding task. The quality of task is affected by the Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorder (WMSD) which limits the movement of the student. The comfort on body part or the other work is pain sensation on discomfort body, known as physical ergonomic, is important to prevent the occurrence of the WMSD. Proper ergonomic postural body considers the condition of the workers while doing the assigned work. The objectives of this study are to identify the current problems related to ergonomic during welding lab work in technical education institution, to analyse the actual problem by using Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaires (CMDQ) to recommend the good ergonomic postural body based on the condition of the study. The study was done at a Technical vocational education an training institution (TVET) as called polytechnic in the Klang Valley of Malaysia. The condition of the student affects the task due to health deficiency. From the findings, the workers are exposed to the awkward postures which leads to the Work-Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs). The results show that the workers are exposed to the WMSD in different level of risks which causes high performance among the students.
