Sažetak
Numerous studies conducted around the world have found that urban bus drivers have a high prevalence rate of musculoskeletal pain. The aim of this study was to determine the level of correlation between microclimatic working conditions and seat comfort with the health of bus drivers. The survey was conducted on a sample of 115 male bus drivers aged 40 to 55, employed in public transportation company, the city of Zagreb’s company. Data were collected using the non-ergonomic working conditions assessment questionnaire (SNUR).
The results of this study show that an uncomfortable seat was the biggest problem in the ergonomic aspects of working conditions with an average rating (4.2) and the least problem was insufficient cabin lighting (2.6). The results indicate that non-ergonomic workplace conditions are significantly related to musculoskeletal health (ÖMPQ questionnaire). The data obtained should serve as guidelines in designing preventive interventional measures to improve the health of professional bus drivers.
