摘要：The study, carried out at the construction site of a private project at Indore (M.P), concerns ergonomicstudy and evaluation of a manually-operated Electrical Overhead Travelling (EOT) crane cabin. The crane cabin is acomplex work system consisting of the crane operator and twelve specific machine components embedded in a closedworkspace. A crane operator has to perform various activities, such as loading and unloading of steel rods, setting andremoval of huge pipes, and routine maintenance work. Initially, an operator had to work in standing posture with bentback most of the time. Ergonomically poor design of the chair and the controls, awkward work postures, vibrations andinsufficient vision angle resulting in musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are some of the critical problems observed.
