Özet:

 Ergonomics has an important place in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. In order to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, it is necessary to identify all risk factors that occur during work. This study was conducted to examine and compare the working postures of employees in an auto tire company in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey while changing tires with REBA Rapid Entire Body Assessment, RULA Rapid Upper Limb Assessment and OWAS Owako Working Position Analysis System ergonomic risk analysis methods. The data of the study were obtained by the researcher by taking photographs of the employees and written consent of the employees was obtained. It was determined that auto tire workers exhibit seven different working postures due to their work. When the ergonomic risk assessment results of the employees for seven different working postures were analyzed, it was seen that REBA, RULA and OWAS ergonomic risk assessment methods did not give the same results. In addition, in this study, OWAS and REBA final scores were lower than RULA final scores. It is thought that this study will be a sample guide for occupational physicians, occupational safety specialists, and graduate and doctoral students working with the musculoskeletal system.

 Kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarının önlenmesinde ergonomi önemli yere sahiptir. Kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarından korunmak için çalışma sırasında ortaya çıkan tüm risk faktörlerini tespit etmek gerekir. Bu çalışma, Türkiyenin Doğu Anadolu Bölgesinde bulunan bir oto lastik firmasında çalışanların lastik değiştirirken sergiledikleri çalışma duruşlarını REBA Rapid Entire Body Assessment, RULA Rapid Upper Limb Assessment ve OWAS Owako Working Position Analysis System ergonomik risk analizi yöntemleri ile incelemek ve karşılaştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri araştırmacı tarafından çalışanların fotoğrafları çekilerek elde edilmiş ve çalışanların yazılı onamları alınmıştır. Oto lastik çalışanları yaptıkları iş gereği yedi farklı çalışma duruşu sergilediği tespit edilmiştir. Çalışanların yedi farklı çalışma duruşu için ergonomik risk değerlendirme sonuçları analiz edildiğinde REBA, RULA ve OWAS ergonomik risk değerlendirme yöntemlerinin aynı sonuçları vermediği görülmüştür. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada OWAS ve REBA nihai puanları RULA nihai puanlarından daha düşük çıkmıştır. Bu çalışma işyeri hekimleri, iş güvenliği uzmanları ve kas iskelet sistemi ile çalışan yüksek lisans ve doktora öğrencilerine yol gösterici kaynak niteliğinde bir örnek klavuz olacağı düşünülmektedir.
