The work task was suggested to be redesigned ergonomically and improved by looking for clues and reviewing previous complaints, by observing the work activities, and by talking to the workers, supervisors, and managers. Several National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) assessment tools of assessing work task was conducted to quickly detect problem work tasks.
