Abstract
India has a rich heritage of hand work and handicrafts like marble handicrafts, hand block textile printing, blue pottery, etc. Jaipur is an important place not just of Rajasthan, but also of India for the production and export of hand block textile printing. The workers engaged in this industry are victims of different musculoskeletal disorders. The present study investigated musculoskeletal disorders among workers in hand block textile printing industry and suggested that suitable risk reduction and health promotion programmes should be implemented to enhance safety and well-being among workers. Ergonomic interventions could reduce musculoskeletal disorders and increase productivity.
