ACCORDING TO THE INDIAN JOURNAL OF OCCUPATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
MEDICINE A study was conducted in 18 garment
manufacturing units located in Madurai city. A total of 216 workers from these 18 garment manufacturing units formed the study sample.
The mean heights of the tables used for cutting, sorting, checking and ironing were 99.5, 92.3, 89.9 and 92.3 cm respectively. The furniture used in the garment manufacturing units was either above or below the recommended levels and the strained posture had to be maintained throughout the work day, which could have been responsible for the development of pain in the shoulders, the upper arm and the forearm.
![Page 26: Furniture and Fixtures in a Garment Manufacturing Unit](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062417/546ad624af795958298b49c6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The high stool (mean height 59.5 cm) forced the workers to bend their trunk and head toward the table to have a clear view of the point of operation. As a result of excessive bending, a majority of workers complained of pain in the lower back, the mid back, the shoulders and the neck. The stools used by the operators were not padded for their comfort when seated for long hours. None of the work stools had a backrest to provide support to the back.

RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The inspection table should have a forward inclination of 12° towards the worker to enable the workers to have a clear view of the garment being examined and to maintain postural stability while at work. The table top can be covered with a rough cloth to prevent slipping of the garments. The use of wooden platforms to stand on while ironing should be insisted on. The recommended dimensions of the sewing machine operator's work seat height should be 41.5 cm for women and 43 cm for men to attain a 105° trunk-thigh angle while operating the sewing pedal.

RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS (CONTD…)
The seat should be padded or wire-netted to provide comfort to the worker. A gap of 4-5 feet between rows of machines will minimize the workers’ exposure to heat from the sewing machine motor.
