Abstract: CARAMPOT, JOHN EDMOND P., MALABANAN, REGINWELL J. and RODEROS, ANGELU FEI E., Design and Development of Posture Checker and Corrector Device. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2019. Adviser: Engr. Gerry M. Castillo. Posture is the way your muscles and skeleton hold the body erect. Safe lifting should be stressed by all workers to avoid having musculoskeletal disorder. Also, knowing the proper lifting posture is essential to minimize the stress and load trough the spine and other joints. Thus, the general objective of the study was to design and develop a posture checker and corrector device. Specifically, the study aimed to: 1.) determine the types of poor posture when lifting manually; 2.) identify the part of the body that is most prone to musculoskeletal disorder when lifting manually; 3.) determine the ideal posture for manual lifting; 4.) develop the posture corrector device for manual lifting with the use of NIOSH Lifting Standards and ; 5.) 5. evaluate and assess the device in terms of product aesthetics, materials used, and safety features. Descriptive research was used in the study. Company visits, interviews, observations and surveys were done to gather pertinent data. Evaluators of the study were all workers who were lifting manually, composed of 71 male and 4 female workers. The study utilized descriptive statistical analysis to determine the musculoskeletal disorder. Six Sigma, Define-Measure-Analyze-Design-Verify approach was used to determine the problems and needs of the respondents and verify its solution. The study showed that there was a significant relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and the number of working hours. It was found out that the most affected parts of the body while lifting manually were the upper back, lower back and hips.
