Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate ergonomic risk factors in an industrial company using assessment of repetitive tasks (ART) method and to make priority of salons to implement corrective actions based on the results of the ELECTRE method.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study consisted all employees working in seven halls of an ark opal manufacturing (n = 240) and 13 tasks were included. Required information were gathered by demographic questionnaire and assessment of repetitive tasks (ART) method for repetitive task assessment. In addition, ELECTRE method was used to prioritize the studied halls. SPSS version 20 and MATLAB were used for analysis.

Results: The total ART score was equal to 30.07 ± 12.43. Data analysis from ART illustrated that 74.6% of 240 cases were in high and 13.8% were in medium level of risk. ART-ELECTRE results revealed that grading and pars naghsh halls were in the best and decoration hall was in the worst ergonomic conditions and should be placed in the top priority of action level.

Conclusions: The obtained results showed that the ELECTRE method can be used for ergonomic and human factor engineering challenges successfully. It seems that macro- and micro-ergonomic solutions along with employee’s participation, based on the scientific decision-making procedures, can lead to effectiveness in health level enhancement of industrial settings increasingly.
