Abstract

The lack of comprehensive tool to assess both risk factors of physical and psychosocial risk factors as well as fatigue level effectively is significant in similar field research. Therefore, the aim of this study is to do the initial development and content validation of a questionnaire that identifies and measures the risk factors influencing the fatigue levels. The questionnaire was developed by implementing adapt method followed by item generation in the initial development. This questionnaire was then validated in terms of content validation by expert panel reviews. The content validity result are as follows: 64-items out of 146-items scale had I-CVI below 1, 24-items with I-CVI of 0.8, and 3-items with 0.7, and the remaining items had I-CVI of below than 0.7. The average value of CVR was 1, and the S-CVI/Ave of the questionnaire was 0.93. Items with content validity of 0.7 and above was maintained, therefore, the questionnaire ended with 87-items. Findings indicates that the questionnaire is valid for assessing the physical and psychosocial risk factors associating with the fatigue levels. This questionnaire can be made a tool in assessing workplace while promote efficiency through this comprehensive tool, contributing to a better understanding of occupational risks and potential interventions.

Abstract

The global surge in demand for courier services has introduced both benefits and challenges. Courier workers face immense pressure to handle large volumes of orders, leading to increasing cases of health and occupational injuries. The lack of ergonomic interventions in their work highlights the urgent need for ergonomic assessments in the courier industry. In Malaysia, current ergonomic risk assessments for warehouse courier workers are insufficient, making it essential to identify prevalent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and determine the associated risk factors and levels posed by their daily tasks. This study aimed to address this gap by conducting ergonomic risk assessments among 35 warehouse workers using the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), the Initial Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) Checklist, and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). Three different work tasks were observed: scanning and sorting, tiered storage and stacking, and load unloading. The findings revealed that lower back pain was the most common ailment (14.5%), followed by hip pain (8.39%) and neck pain (7.89%). The tiered stacking storage activity posed the highest ergonomic risk, with identified risk factors including awkward postures, static and sustained activity, and repetitive tasks. The REBA analysis indicated a very high-level risk for tiered stacking storage, necessitating immediate ergonomic interventions. These findings contribute to the field of ergonomics and provide valuable insights for safety practitioners, ergonomists, researchers, and academicians in occupational safety and health and the courier service industries.
