Evaluation of muscular system disorders according to ergonomic risk analysis of ambulance workers

This study was carried out to determine the most affected area in the body by the physical strains and musculoskeletal system disorders that 112 ASHI (Emergency Health Services Station) employees are exposed to in the field and in the ambulance. The most frequent actions of the personnel in the field and in the ambulance were observed and photographed. The Cornell questionnaire was used for musculoskeletal disorders and the REBA method was used to determine risk levels. The Cornell questionnaire was applied to 80 personnel working in 12 ASHI (Emergency Health Services Stations) in the eastern region of Trabzon. In the REBA application, the risk levels were calculated by photographing the procedures performed by two health personnel working in the field.
