Özet:

 

Employees in the warehouse processes of the logistics sector are engaged in activities such as pushing, pulling and lifting during a day. Intense work tempo, power requirement, working in unsuitable positions, physical factors of working environment adversely affect employees. The aim of this study is to investigate ergonomic risk assessment of a logistic warehouse in the Kocaeli province, located in the Marmara Region. This study was conducted over a sample area where 57 people work in, 5 work processes in a warehouse with a closed area of 8000 m² and all processes were examined during 4 months. Employees' working positions in daily routine were studied by using REBA, RULA and NIOSH as ergonomic risk assessment methods. Furthermore, ambient noise, personal noise, ambient dust, personal dust, vibration, chemical and thermal comfort values were measured with accredited devices.
