Abstract: TARANG, ALJOHN P. and VILLETE, CLARENCE AERON E. Ergonomic Risk Assessment of Professional Cleaners and Janitorial Service Personne) in Selected Public and Private Hospitals in Upland Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Engr. Willie C. Buclatin. The study was conducted to identify the ergonomic risk factors present in cleaning occupations in hospitals associated with musculoskeletal disorders. The personal attributes, work- related factors, cleaning occupation activities and working postures were analyzed with respect to the frequency and severity of stress symptoms on specified body parts to determine risk factors that permits the occurrences of musculoskeletal disorders. Through survey questionnaires, ergonomic risk factors in cleaning occupation in hospitals were then identified. The total participants of the study were 60, which was composed of 30 female and 30 male cleaning workers obtained from selected public and private hospitals in upland Cavite. Correlation analysis such as Somer’s D was used to determine the degree of relationship between demographic profile, work- related factors, cleaning occupation frequency and duration, and working postures frequency and duration to the musculoskeletal symptoms. The result of correlation analysis showed that demographic profile, work- related factors, cleaning occupation frequency and duration, and working postures frequency and duration were associated to musculoskeletal disorder symptoms. All parts of the body that were considered to the study were significantly affected by musculoskeletal disorder symptoms such as strain, muscle pain, cramps and nerve tension which were all caused by ergonomic risk factors. This study suggested standards and work practices that would lessen the intensity of musculoskeletal disorders as well as its impact to the performance of cleaning workers.

The study was conducted to identify the ergonomic risk factors present in cleaning occupations in hospitals associated with musculoskeletal disorders. The personal attributes, work- related factors, cleaning occupation activities and working postures were analyzed with respect to the frequency and severity of stress symptoms on specified body parts to determine risk factors that permits the occurrences of musculoskeletal disorders.

Through survey questionnaires, ergonomic risk factors in cleaning occupation in hospitals were then identified. The total participants of the study were 60, which was composed of 30 female and 30 male cleaning workers obtained from selected public and private hospitals in upland Cavite.

Correlation analysis such as Somer’s D was used to determine the degree of relationship between demographic profile, work- related factors, cleaning occupation frequency and duration, and working postures frequency and duration to the
musculoskeletal symptoms.

The result of correlation analysis showed that demographic profile, work- related factors, cleaning occupation frequency and duration, and working postures frequency and duration were associated to musculoskeletal disorder symptoms. All parts of the body that were considered to the study were significantly affected by musculoskeletal disorder symptoms such as strain, muscle pain, cramps and nerve tension which were all caused by ergonomic risk factors.

This study suggested standards and work practices that would lessen the intensity of musculoskeletal disorders as well as its impact to the performance of cleaning workers.
