Abstract
This review article describes ergonomics risk factors associated with Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) in the poultry Industry include: Chicken hatcheries: found WMSDs affecting wrists, shoulders, neck and back due to highly repetitive tasks, carrying heavy weights and working in suboptimal positions. Poultry layer farms: had problems about WMSDs at lower back and wrists from work that requires lifting weights or bending or twisting while carrying heavy objects in conjunction with awkward posture from having to bend down frequently. Broiler farms: workers felt pain in the shoulders lower back and waist due to farmers squatting down because a low working height. The high risk task in here was exchange of broiler litter which trunk flexion movements were identified above 60◦ rotation associated with a large displacement of the upper limbs. Slaughter and further processing plant: found the WMSDs problem at upper limbs, neck, shoulders and legs causes by repetitive motion, forceful exertion, awkward and static posture, works with in-line process and pressure of time and goals and tasks. In addition jobs using vibrating hand-held power tools or working with chilled products or in a cold environment. Approaches to reduce WMSDs in Chicken hatcheries, Poultry layer farms, Broiler farms and Slaughter and further processing plant have similar principles which consists of training, ergonomics, and medical intervention that have different details depending on the type of the poultry Industry.
