摘要

Work-related musculoskeletal (MSD) disorders significantly impact industrial productivity and society, particularly in the construction sector. Industrial Exoskeletons can support workers and reduce ergonomic risk. This paper proposes a semi-automatic NIOSH Composite Lifting Index calculation that combines AzKCLI and Equivalent Weight. Results analysis showed that using an exoskeleton during manual material handling can reduce the ergonomic risk by 34% when combining benefits in the required posture and effort.
