Abstract
This study is to define and recognize the risks of ergonomic
hazard assessment at manufacturing industry. Ergonomics can be
characterized by means of science of appropriating works to the
human rather than making the human fitting with the work. It puts
individuals in the importance place, making so as to consider their
abilities and confinements beyond any doubt that the task,
equipment, information and surroundings of works outfit to all of
employees. Ergonomics issue can be detect by checklist
specification, making works observations and conversation with
the employees. Mainly, the issue tended to by the manufacturings
ergonomics are includes the designing of workplace, jobs and tools
design. Moreover, ergonomics study and consider a person in all
aspects of physical and mental. The risk elements and effects in
manufacturing industry consist of temperature extreme, force,
static posture, contact stress, vibration, repetition, and psycho
social. Lastly, enhancements in manufacturing in each risk are
being discussed.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The research for this journal is the second project for Health
and Safety Environment course which enrolled by the
students of semester May 2015 of Universiti Teknologi
PETRONAS. First, we would like to praise to God for the
chances and support given by Him we finally managed to
finish and produce this writings which not everyone have
chances to develop it. In developing the ideas presented
here, we have received helpful inputs from the lecturers of
this course whom coordinated by Dr Asna Mohd Zain.
Lastly, a token of appreciation given to all members who
managed to perform and develop this journal.
II. INTRODUCTION
Risk assessment can be defined as a systematic process in
evaluating any potential risks that might happen in an
organization. In an organization, whether it is big or small
company, it is compulsory for an employer to implement
risk assessment analysis as a part of managing the health
and safety of the workplace. In order to implement this, a
health and safety officer must know the possibilities of a
workplaces situation that might cause harm to the
employees and decide the right and sensible measures in
preventing the harm that might occur in a workplace.
Practically, risk assessment is a deep observation at the
workplace to identify situations or any process that may
cause harm or risk especially to the workers.
Steps taken in enforcing the risk assessment is
firstly identify the hazards in the workplace environment.

VI. CONCLUSION
As we know, poor ergonomics at the workplace can lead
to a number of serious physical problems. It is the common
factor that can lead to the serious physical problems which
is musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The musculoskeletal
disorders (MSDs) is known a repetitive motion syndrome
that will lead to diseases and affected to nerves, tendons and
muscles. The syndrome is frequently occurring due to the
situation where we expose our body to any situations such
as forceful exertion, vibration and awkward positions.
The Second effect of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is
carpal tunnel syndrome. The syndrome always happens in
a duct at the wrist. Due to this syndrome, it will reduce the
strength and ability of our hand and can lead to permanent
nerve damage and even partial paralysis. In fact, if the
condition is still remains same, it may force us to live with
the pain and limited use of our hand or arm eternally. So, to
reduce all the syndrome that may happen to us, we as a
human need to pay attention to how our arm is going on
such like at the neck, shoulder, hand wrist and fingers.
In other words, we need to overlook back about our
condition of our wellness due to each individual body of us
is different in term of size, shape and capability. We also use
different tools, sit, stands and moves in a different position
every day. So, we need to pay attention to how our body
feels when we are working. We need to identify what
causes pain, numbness, or other symptoms. If we still
ignore the symptoms for too long, we may unable to
perform our current job. In the very worst cases, we may
develop such a major painful at out our body and works.
So, we need to pay attention to how our body feels when we
are working.
