10 Relations between Ergonomic Risk Factors and Musculoskeletal Disorders in Computer Operation H.C. Wu, C.Y. Lin, H.C. Chen and C.H. Wang Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, Chaoyang University of Technology, Taiwan ABSTRACT The relations between computer-related ergonomic risk factors and musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) were aimed to investigate in this study. The surveyed occupations include university administrator, programmer, and computer drawer. The ergonomic risk factors in the workplace were identified by the modified OSHA s computer workstation checklist. The MSD situations faced by the workers were collected through the revised NMQ (Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire). 123 effective responses were obtained from 150 sampled workers. Pearson correlation analysis was then conducted to find the significant factors being associated with the MSDs. Eyes strain was responded from the 74% of the respondents to be the most prevalent disorder, followed by neck pain (68%) and right shoulders disorder (67%). The critical factors resulting in these MSDs were greater years of occupation and age, shoulders and upper arms elevated or stretched forward, prolonged watching a monitor, poor postures, and etc. The results of this study can be used to assist in finding and eliminating key ergonomic risk factors so as to prevent the musculoskeletal disorders.
