Content	Problem Elevated sickness rates and levels of the corre- sponding absenteeism have been observed for years in the German sewing industry. The main group of diseases observed in this area are those of the musculoskeletal system, particularly of the spine and the upper extremities. Under their pre- vention mandate, the then BGs responsible for the leather industry and for the textile and clothing industry (now the BG ETEM) therefore launched a research project with the aim of developing an ergonomic sewing workplace and a practical guide to setting up ergonomic sewing workplaces. Activities The project, which was funded by the DGUV, was conducted in collaboration with the Munich Univer- sity of Applied Sciences and the Schwan engi- neering office in Frankfurt. In eight selected sew- ing businesses, physiological strain parameters such as pulse rate and electrical muscle activity were measured in conjunction with body postures and movements during typical sewing tasks. The body postures and movements of the upper ex- tremities, head, spine, and lower extremities were recorded continuously by means of the CUELA measurement system developed at the IFA. In addition, environmental conditions such as light- ing, noise and climatic conditions were measured. The subjective impression of the strain for the sewing operatives involved and their disorders and diseases were documented. Based upon the The newly developed ergonomic sewing workplace; sewing operative fitted with the CUELA measurement system measurement results, an ergonomically improved model sewing workplace was developed, which was then installed in a number of sewing busi- nesses. Results and Application It was possible to demonstrate and quantify for the first time the typical stress situations at sewing workplaces, such as the performance of work in extreme joint angle positions, static postures, con- tinually repeated movements, and the application of high forces. These results were incorporated Ergonomics at sewing workplaces 0118 Edition 2/2013 617.0-IFA:638.81
