Abstract

Background & objective: In Economic and competitive world today, COST-BENEFIT analysis is one of the most important parameters for any intervention. The purpose of this study was the COST-BENEFIT analysis of ergonomic intervention effects in Boiler and Equipment Engineering and Manufacturing Company.Methods: At first all workstations of the company were assessed using QEC. Then those earned more than 70% in QEC assessed by OWAS. By analyzing the results of these two methods, the “Haarp welding” workstation selected as the critical one. After presentation of possible solutions in specialized committee, the final solution selected and COST-BENEFIT analysis was carried out by CyberManS tool. Finally, after implementing the intervention workstation was reassessed.Results: The results of the survey showed that the final score of assessment using QEC, OWAS and NASA-TLX before the intervention was 84.7%, 3 and 75.4, respectively and after the intervention was 47.5%, 1 and 42.7Also, the result of COST-BENEFIT analysis by CyberManS showed that by spending 110 million rials after 1.5 years the investment returned and profitability initiated.Conclusion: In addition to reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, ergonomic interventions have financial benefits by increasing the productivity and production, reducing the compensation and decreasing the lost work days can also cause financial benefits.
