Abstract

Ergonomic is defined as the application of science concerned with the design and arrangement of objects that people use for people and things to interact more efficiently and safely. The learning environment, including lighting, temperature, workstation design, and others, can also affect users' comfort and health. Poor workstation design can result in injuries or related problems like musculoskeletal disorder (MSDs). The main objective of this project is to apply the ergonomic assessments (Temperature, illuminance, humidity and space) in the Laman Hikmah Library. The questionnaire is chosen method for gathering the information Laman Hikmah. The researcher also focused on evaluating the pattern and its compatibility with existed designs with ergonomic guidelines. Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) was also applied in this project to evaluate the computer workstation in Laman Hikmah Library. This assessment was conducted by using CATIA software. Some assessments (temperature assessment, humidity assessment, and illuminance assessment) indicate that the library and furniture were comfortable for Laman Hikmah users. However, ergonomic awareness among the Laman Hikmah Library needs further improvement. Evaluation ergonomic in the workstation library can improve awareness about ergonomic among Laman Hikmah Library.
