The document identifies various health and safety issues faced by workers in a garment factory. It discusses issues such as uncomfortable seating, poor lighting, excessive bending, repetitive motions, improper lifting techniques, lack of ventilation and clean drinking water. Solutions proposed include providing adjustable workstations, proper lifting equipment, job rotation, adequate seating and lighting, ventilation improvements and regular breaks. The overall message is that garment factory workplaces need to be redesigned to address ergonomic issues and reduce risk of injuries to workers.

3. -Sits for long hours on uncomfortable
chair with no back support .
-bend her neck and back .
-Pulls fabric with left hand as she
sews.
-Press pedal for sewing machine all
.day with bare feet
-Pressure on the back of leg.
Solution: Provide adjustable treadle
so the worker can place it in a
comfortable position and get as
close to the table as possible
Use job/task rotation through tasks
that do not require constant leg
pressure and awkward leg posture.

4. Wrong work place design:
Not enough space for moving
it may injure the spine
the table doesn’t allow
enough room underneath
for the worker's to move
and Uncomfortable chair
Solutions :
Provide worker with
Adjustable table,
adjustable chair

5. -Acute visual requirements, coupled
with intense wrist, hand, finger
movements excessive bending for
back and neck
-Bad ventilation
-Insufficient lighting may cause
eye fatigue and headache.
Solution: Use adjustable task
lighting to make it easier for the
worker to see product during set
up

6. Solution :We should redesign
the work place and put the
machine in more suitable
place

7. Over exertion repetitive motion &
raising hands over shoulder may
cause impingement syndrome

8. Repetitive motion for very
long hours & bending
wrist may cause carpal
tunnel syndrome.

9. Bad design poor hand grip may cause:
Cuts ,strain, blisters stress on fingers
Solutions:
-Using good grips tools.
- Avoid using more force than the job
requires ,use partially automated tools
to reduce force and repetition of pinch
grip.
-Use job rotation through tasks that do
not require pinch grips.

10. Quality check point:
Require workers to stand for
very long period of time
that may injure the spine
Blood circulation is not
effective in standing due to
gravity.
Solutions:
Provide sit/stand
workstations, which
encourage changing posture
& provide external support
or frequent movement.

11. :packaging
-Over exertion on arm and
shoulders it may cause
fatigue.
-Bending the spinal.
-Repetitive motion.
-Standing for long hours.
-No space for moving his feet.
Solution :
-Provide table next to him so
he wont stretch his arm
-They Should redesign the
work place to provide the
worker external support or
frequent movement.

12. Packaging:
Workers repeatedly bend at the
waist and reach into
transportation containers to
load fabric, causing stress on
the back and arms injury.
solutions: Use height-adjustable
carts to reduce the need to
bend or reach into the carts or
provide her with good chair.

13. Handling materials:
-awkward postures, Repeated torso
twisting while lifting which may
result in back and shoulder
injuries.
-Lifting objects with arms fully
extended or lifting from floor
level or above shoulder level.
Solutions:
-Design stations to allow most lifts
at waist level
-Use mechanical lifts, ceiling
tracks or carts to transport the
fabric to reduce the risk of injury
to the workers.

14. -Ladder not safe with no breaks so
the worker may fall down.
-The ladder is not tall enough so the
worker will exert his arm to putt
the heavy Rolls on the high
shelves.
-over exertion on arm & stress on
shoulders joints.

15. -The worker is climbing on the
shelves to load the stock
garments its dangerous & he
may falls and may break some
bones .
Solutions: provide the workers
with a suitable ladder .

16. Bad ventilation & hot place
they should isolate the ironing
section because it affect
the other sector
bending and stress on
shoulder

17. 1- Because a garment factory uses
many heated processes, it is
important for workers to avoid
heat stress by drinking plenty
of water during their shift
2- Water coolers are very far from
work space just one source for
water not so clean not provided
with cups
Solution: Proper ventilation can
help to reduce ambient
temperatures and ensure
worker comfort Drinking
water by providing them with
several water coolers

18. -poor lighting at work can
lead to: eye strain, fatigue
headaches, stress and
accidents

19. On the other hand, too much
light can also cause health
and safety problems such as
“glare” headaches and stress.
Both can lead to mistakes at
work, poor quality and low
productivity
Solution: Good lighting and
avoid in terms of improved
productivity, and a reduction
in .errors

21. There is a role in the factory
that force worker to clean
the work place around them
and its an attempt to
maintain workplace clean .
Baring feet Lake of cleaning
tools
Bending & flexion harmful
dust.
solution: must provide enough
cleaning tools provide face
masks

22. Un healthy work
environment that may
pollute the place and
affect the worker
negatively.

23. -Uncomfortable
environment for
work
-Uncovered cables
-Storing stuff in
wrong place may
disable the
workers
movement and
may cause
injuries
