Lifting activities are an essential part of manual material handling across various industrial sectors and constitute a primary source of ergonomic risk exposure when performed with inappropriate work postures. The use of hands-off tools such as push-pull sticks is often implemented to maintain a safe distance between workers and loads and to reduce exposure to line-of-fire hazards. However, the implementation of work aids does not automatically ensure neutral work postures, as push-pull techniques, reach distances, and environmental conditions can still lead to awkward postures. This study aims to evaluate the work posture risk in lifting activities using a fiber-composite push-pull stick based on the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method. The research was conducted as an observational analytic field study involving nine workers in tubular pushing and pulling activities. Work postures were documented through direct observation and visual recordings, then assessed using REBA to obtain risk scores, risk categories, and required corrective actions. The results indicate that work postures fall into the medium to high-risk categories, with trunk and shoulder components being the dominant contributors. These findings confirm the need for improvements in work methods, ergonomic training, and strengthening of lifting SOPs to optimize the safety and ergonomic benefits of work aids.

The results of the study showed that the flexural strength of low carbon steel was 698 MPa at a deflection of 1.1 mm, the flexural strength of Randu rib wood in an upright position was 40.7 MPa, in a horizontal position was 55.5 MPa, in a normal position of paving stone in an upper position (normal) was 6.64 MPa, in a lower position (upside down) was 6.62 MPa, and in a lightweight brick was 1.28 MPa, which implies that the type of material, the distance between supports and the cross-section of the specimen greatly affect its flexural strength, except for ductile materials for low carbon steel which do not have flexural strength, but have yield strength at a certain deflection.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding parameter variations on the mechanical and metallurgical properties of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel, which is widely used in construction and industrial applications due to its excellent corrosion resistance and joint strength. The research focuses on identifying the optimal welding current to minimize welding defects and enhance joint structural integrity. Welding current was varied at three levels, namely 100 A, 125 A, and 135 A, while other parameters such as welding speed, argon shielding gas flow rate, and electrode type were kept constant. Mechanical properties were evaluated through Micro-Vickers hardness testing conducted in the weld metal, Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), and base metal, as well as tensile testing to determine ultimate tensile strength and elongation. In addition, non-destructive testing using the dye penetrant method was performed to detect surface welding discontinuities. Metallographic analysis was carried out using optical microscopy following an etching process to observe grain morphology, grain size, and the formation of microstructural phases. The results are expected to demonstrate a correlation between increased heat input due to higher welding current and changes in mechanical properties and microstructure, particularly in the HAZ. This study provides practical guidance for determining optimal TIG welding parameters for AISI 304 to achieve high tensile strength, homogeneous hardness distribution, and a stable microstructure resistant to intergranular corrosion.
