DRESS MAKING - CITS

Lifting and carrying loads are among the most difficult works that burden the body; hence, textile materials must
be transported by trolleys into the cutting room.
Safe operating on cutter machines requires electrical cords to be intact and the correct power switch. Electrical
cords should not be conducted along the places where employees move, or, if it is not possible, the places where
cables are set should be secured and marked so as not to be a threat for the employees when moving. When
cutting, workers are required to wear a protective metal glove.
Ergonomics in sewing room
Sewing involves repeated movements of the shoulder and arm, a static position of the spine and lower extremities,
as well as the inclination forward while the job is done throughout the working hours. Proper ergonomic design of
each workplace, along with finding suitable methods of work with the appropriate time standards, ensures better
structure of technological operations with the increased efficiency of sewing machines. Working posture at sewing
machines should allow mobility of the limbs, an ergonomically favorable arrangement of working and visible zones
and a stable, balanced state when performing the work process. Technological processes of sewing clothes
are performed on production lines with a large number of technological operations where each technological
operation does not last long and has a significant psychological, physical workload for each worker.
Ergonomics in finishing room
Finishing and pressing are two processes that have the greatest influence on the finished look of a garment.
Fusing creates the foundation and pressing puts the final seal of quality on the garment. This process includes
checking of garment, measurement checking, ironing, and spotting. After sewing of the garments, all pieces are
checked by a quality checker to ensure that garments are being made as per buyer quality standard. Checking
normally is done for visual appearance and measurements. Spotting is required to remove stain in the pieces. In
the quality section, there is a lot of stress on the eyes, leading to headache and visual discomfort. Therefore, it is
necessary to work use protective equipment to maximum safety of workers.
