Bearing in mind that over time, even 'suitable' working postures may have negative consequences, providing recommendations that favor both performance outcomes and worker well being often proves to be a complex issue. Identifying 'poor' working postures, however, seems to pose a lesser challenge. As such, there is no "perfect" working posture because even "good" working postures may cause discomfort and injury when maintained for extended periods of time. Nonetheless, some postures are still preferred over others. The suitability of a specified body posture of the workers depends on the levels to which that body posture proficiently and capably facilitates work implementation and maintain the equilibrium between task and operator. The worker's physical reactions such as energy expenditure, muscular effort and spinal loading etc. are also firmly associated with it. Hence, keeping all in view the present study was undertaken to remediate the problem of postural discomfort of farm workers.
