“…The slight impact of ergonomics in reducing work accidents for SMEs in Indonesia indicates that the contribution of ergonomics researchers has not been effective [1]. Economic and social phenomena are responsible for transforming the business environment and ergonomics to improve occupational health and safety, labor productivity, and production systems [2]; the prevalence and costs of MSDs remain high [3]. These factors can reduce workers' overall productivity and lower work quality [4].…”

This research was carried out in Batik Cap production in Surakarta, Indonesia. Creating and producing batik is still done manually with non-ergonomic work postures and repetitive movements that can cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The study aimed to determine the risk level of injury of MSDs in the work posture that focuses on the upper body and analyze the risk factors of muscle injury with different upper body regions. Data collection used five workstations with 22 activities for Batik Cap workers. Data analysis used the Plan for Identifiering av. Belastningsfaktorer (PLIBEL) checklist and the Quick Exposure Checklist (QEC) method. The results of the PLIBEL checklist show six activities included in the fair category, 14 in the moderate category, and two in the substantial category. The QEC method results show 20 activities in the action level 3 category, which means further investigated and changes are needed. Two activities in category 4 mean that investigation and change need to be done as soon as possible. In conclusion, the result shows that redesigning and designing work facilities is expected to reduce workers’ muscle injury risk, especially in the back, neck, elbow, forearm, and hands which can cause MSDs.

“…It is worth observing that no OCRA-based approaches have been presented so far for the automated offline or online analysis of HRC tasks, even if the OCRA index stands as the more efficient and complete methodology to analyze workstations and even if compared to the RULA method [33]. The latter, indeed, does not consider other features of the activity, such as the working shift duration and the recovery time.…”

Human–robot collaboration stands as one of the research frontiers in industrial applications due to the possibility for human operators to be supported by robots in carrying out their tasks in a shared workspace. However, advances in this field can be slowed down by the lack of standards regarding the safety and ergonomics of such applications. This article aims at reducing this gap by presenting an adaptation of the standard ISO 11228-3 for the ergonomic evaluation of hand-guiding applications through the OCRA index. This innovative methodology is innovatively applied to a drilling application in which a human operator hand-guides a collaborative robotic system consisting of a Franka Emika Panda robot, a force/torque sensor and an IMU suit to track the motion of the operator’s body. The SaRAH app, a MATLAB 2020a-based software tool developed on purpose, implements the ergonomic assessment procedure, allowing the proper redesign of the working shift (offline mode) or providing the worker suggestions to improve his/her behavior (online mode) so as to reduce the ergonomic risk.
