Conceptual Design of Semi-Automatic Wheelbarrow to Overcome Ergonomics Problems Among Palm Oil Plantation Workers

An ergonomics problem is one of the main issues faced by palm oil plantation workers especially during harvesting and collecting of fresh fruit bunches (FFB). Intensive manual handling and labor activities involved have been associated with high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among p...
