Thousands of small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) employees in Indonesian tin mining companies work in dangerous environments without sufficient safety and health protections. This study’s aim was to investigate the identified factors, such as difficulty in communication among stakeholders (owner, manager, and worker), and workers’ negative attitudes towards and lack of knowledge in the use of personal protective equipment that inhibit the implementation of Participatory Ergonomics in Indonesian tin mining companies. Eighteen participants from five SMEs, encompassing three different roles, i.e. worker, owner and manager, participated in the interview study. The study revealed that the dissemination of occupational safety through a kinship approach and specific safety training were preferred to resolve communication, cultural and knowledge problems. The provision of clear definitions of roles and tasks and the allocation of time and resources were suggested as ways to empower workers and supervisors.

Tysiące pracowników MŚP w indonezyjskich przedsiębiorstwach wydobywczych cyny pracuje w niebezpiecznym środowisku bez wystarczającej ochrony bezpieczeństwa i zdrowia. Celem tego badania było zbadanie zidentyfikowanych czynników, takich jak trudności w komunikacji między zainteresowanymi stronami (właścicielem, menedżerem i pracownikiem), a także negatywne nastawienie pracowników i brak wiedzy na temat korzystania z osobistego wyposażenia ochronnego, które utrudnia wdrożenie ergonomii partycypacyjnej w indonezyjskich przedsiębiorstwach wydobywczych cyny. W badaniu wywiadu uczestniczyło 18 uczestników z pięciu MŚP, obejmujących trzy różne role, tj. pracownik, właściciel i menedżer. Badanie wykazało, że było preferowane upowszechnianie bezpieczeństwa pracy poprzez podejście więzi i konkretne szkolenia z zakresu bezpieczeństwa w celu rozwiązania problemów związanych z komunikacją, kulturą i wiedzą. Zapewniono jasne definicje ról i zadań oraz alokacji czasów i zasobów jako sposoby wzmocnienia pozycji pracowników i przełożonych.

In industrially developing countries, a few ergonomists have directed great efforts towards developing ergonomics awareness among managers and workers in organizations. There is little research on the degree of their success, though. Furthermore, access of organizations to ergonomics knowledge is usually very difficult, especially in industrially developing countries. Thus, building ergonomics awareness is certainly the first phase of the process. Three companies from one industry (44 people: 14 females and 30 males) participated in a project aimed at improving their work system. At the beginning, we needed to create a common goal and ensure participation with appropriate ergonomics tools. The findings of this study were the key issue for the ergonomics intervention (i.e., a shared vision, awakened need of change and learning). Further, to build ergonomics awareness and develop a continuous learning process in the company, it was necessary to use more ergonomics tools through workers’ participation in different workplaces.

This paper reviews the role and importance of small-scale industries together with the issue of occupational health problems and their causes in Iranian hand-woven carpet industry as a typical informal small-scale industry in an industrially developing country. The objective of this paper is to review health risk factors and related occupational health and ergonomic problems in the carpet industry. Since the overwhelming majority of weavers. health problems originate from ergonomic risk factors, it is concluded that any improvement program in this industry should focus on ergonomic aspects. To assess ergonomic conditions in weaving workshops, a checklist has been developed and an ergonomics index indicating the ergonomic conditions of the workshop has been proposed. To test and verify the checklist, 50 weaving workshops were visited and their ergonomic conditions were assessed. Based on the results some modifications were made and the checklist was shown to be an effective tool.
