<![CDATA[This workplace case study evaluated sanding postures at CV XYZ using Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and the Nordic Body Map (NBM). The two workers included represented the operational personnel assigned to the sanding station during the observation period. Both workers performed prolonged bending and squatting postures. NBM scores identified the upper neck, back, and waist as the areas with the highest discomfort, while the initial REBA score was 8, indicating high risk. A standing posture and an anthropometry-based workbench were then developed and simulated in EasyPose. The simulated posture produced a REBA score of 3, or low risk. The recalculated workbench dimensions were 95 cm in height, 70 cm in width, and 161 cm in length. These findings indicate a potential reduction in postural risk, but they do not constitute field validation. Implementation and repeated REBA and NBM measurements are therefore required to confirm changes in discomfort, usability, and work performance.]]>
