Özet:

 


This study investigates ergonomic
problems faced by manufacturing employees due to wearing inappropriate safety
shoes. A total of 30 survey respondents was recruited based on the shoes they
wear. Pedar-X was used in the experiment to measure the pressure that acts on
the wearer’ feet. Survey results showed the wearer’ experienced the highest
pain with the frequency of 80% for right and 83.33% for the left heel for
wearing safety shoes two to three times a week. Meanwhile, Pedar-X recorded
average peak pressure, force and surface area: Amporlo, 90.53 kPa, 259.57 N,
and 67.74 cm2; Land Master, 75.07 kPa, 273.79 N and 72.65 cm2; Jack Parcell
ordinary flat, 67.85 kPa, 170.68 N and 52.08 cm2 respectively. It was found
strain on the front and middle of the feet were lowest. Meanwhile, the back
foot, which locates the heel recorded the highest pressure value of 185 kPa as
a result of wearing inappropriate safety shoes.
