Figure 1 illustrates the postures of workers involved in the manufacture of shoulder bags, revealing that the nailing and weaving processes account for approximately 25% of the overall workload. Figure 2 further displays the percentage of workers engaged in these production activities namely nailing (25%), cutting (5%), gluing (20%), patterning (5%), machine Sewing (10%), weaving (25%), hand sewing (5%), and rolling (5%). Notably, the weaving requires a comparatively higher level of experience and skill, and it is predominantly performed by women aged 30 and older. This trend reflects the demographics of artisans in this industry, as men in this community typically are engaged in agricultural activities. Table 1 provides general information regarding health conditions associated with the risk of musculoskeletal injuries among the participants. The study found that 100% of the participants were female, with 80% reporting no significant health issues; however, 90% had experienced a serious accident in the past. Additionally, all participants were non-smokers, and 75% abstained from alcohol consumption. Despite this, health conditions such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes mellitus were noted within the basketry community examined in this study. Table 2 summarizes the results from using a symptom survey of musculoskeletal disorders among the basketry workers. Thirteen or 65% of the participants reported sometimes feeling tired after work, while 10% of them always had this problem. In any single year, the craftsmen always felt discomfort with the body during work. The most abnormal symptoms were reported as pain in the lower back, upper back, wrists/hands, upper arms, and right forearm, in rank order. Indeed, such symptoms have often been suffering for 5 years. Previous studies using the NMQ survey have reported on perceptions of various work-related risk factors and musculoskeletal symptoms [29; 30; 31; 32].
