Hazard Factor Investigation and Response
To prevent musculoskeletal disorders, DB HiTek conducts a hazard factor investigation and detailed analysis for all workers.
Establishment of Prevention and
Response System for
Musculoskeletal Disorders 1)
In 2022, the company established a database by analyzing harmful factors using ergonomic analysis methods
(RULA 2) , REBA 3), NLE
4)) with 14 process departments, and compared and analyzed it with occupational accident data for improvement in the order of priority. The priorities were evaluated in consideration of the risk level of the work, possibilities of improvement, and the effects of the measures, and the implementation was distinguished between short-term and mid-term according to the implementation period and distribution of stages. Since the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders cannot be achieved in a short period of time, we operate a morning exercise program for all employees in order to establish early prevention measures as a part of a daily routine.
Musculoskeletal Disorder: Health issues caused by factors such as repetitive motions and improper working postures
RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment): Upper body work posture evaluation technique for shoulder, forearm, wrist, neck, etc.
REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment): Work posture evaluation for the entire body
NLE (NIOSH Lifting Equation): Assessment tool for heavy lifting tasks
