Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) affect workers in many occupations including transport drivers. Individual studies on musculoskeletal disorders from jeepney, taxi, and bus drivers were undertaken but there is no study to evaluate these three transport drivers and provide ergonomic interventions among them. In this regard, the paper intends to assess the degree of musculoskeletal disorders on significant factors affecting the three transport motor vehicles with respect to demographic profiles and tasks drivers perform. It also intends to assess the level of musculoskeletal discomforts of body parts of transport motor vehicle drivers from the identified significant factors, and propose ergonomic interventions to address prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among the three transport drivers. Assessment on the MSDs of these transport drivers using CMDQ and RULA were undertaken. Moreover, the analysis of significance among various factors to their body parts was undertaken using the Chi-square test and regression analysis. The results showed that there was significant association on the body parts of jeepney, taxi and bus drivers on the CMDQ and RULA values. The three transport drivers indicated that their neck, lower back, lower legs, upper arm and wrists were the top five most common body parts with MSDs. As such, the paper recommends proposed ergonomics interventions for these four body parts.

交通车辆驾驶员的人机工程学干预
肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD)影响许多职业的工人,包括运输司机。对吉普尼、出租车和公共汽车司机的肌肉骨骼疾病进行了个别研究,但没有研究对这三种交通工具司机进行评估,并对他们进行人体工程学干预。在这方面,本文打算评估肌肉骨骼疾病对影响三种运输机动车辆的重要因素的程度,涉及人口特征和驾驶员执行的任务。本文还将从确定的重要因素中评估运输机动车驾驶员身体部位肌肉骨骼不适的程度,并提出人体工程学干预措施,以解决三种运输机动车驾驶员肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率。我们使用CMDQ和RULA对这些运输司机的msd进行评估。采用卡方检验和回归分析,分析各因素对其身体部位的显著性。结果表明,吉普尼、出租车和公交车司机的身体部位对CMDQ和RULA值有显著的相关性。三名司机表示,他们的颈部、下背部、小腿、上臂和手腕是最常见的五个身体部位。因此,本文建议对这四个身体部位进行人体工程学干预。
