    Menurut laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM, 2016) dijangkakan penduduk Malaysia akan mengalami peningkatan daripada 28.6 juta kepada 38.6 juta pada tahun 2040. Sehubungan itu, profesion sebagai pemandu teksi merupakan pekerjaan profesional seperti pemandu bas, kereta api, traktor, forklift dan lain-lain lagi. Oleh itu, pelbagai faktor perlu diberikan perhatian bagi memastikan bahawa pemandu teksi warga tua boleh melakukan tugasan mereka dengan baik dan dalam keadaan kesihatan yang baik. Kajian ini memfokuskan kepada analisis ergonomik terhadap kesihatan dan keselamatan kalangan pemandu teksi warga tua di Malaysia. Kajian keratan rentas telah dijalankan dengan menggunakan soal selidik bersemuka. Kaedah persampelan bertujuan digunakan berdasarkan kriteria inklusif; umur 60 tahun dan ke atas, memandu sendiri teksi lebih daripada satu tahun, tiada kecacatan dan didaftarkan dengan Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat (SPAD). Sejumlah 443 responden mengambil bahagian dalam kajian ini. Perisian SPSS versi 2.0 digunakan untuk analsis data dan Khi Kuasa Dua. Postur pemanduan yang tidak baik kalangan pemandu teksi warga tua mampu mendatangkan ketidakselesaan dan menghasilkan masalah kesihatan berkaitan pada muskuloskeletal disorders (MSDs). Implikasi terhadap kesedaran yang rendah pada pendidikan tentang ergonomik mampu memberi kesan pada kualiti gaya hidup dan kesihatan kalangan pemandu teksi warga tua di Malaysia.

    OBJECTIVES: Production agriculture is commonly associated with high prevalence of ergonomic injuries, particularly during intensive manual labor and during harvesting. This paper intends to briefly describe an overview of oil palm plantation management highlighting the ergonomics problem each of the breakdown task analysis.

    METHODS: Although cross-sectional field visits were conducted in the current study, insight into past and present occupational safety and health concerns particularly regarding the ergonomics of oil palm plantations was further exploited. Besides discussion, video recordings were extensively used for ergonomics analysis.

    RESULTS: The unique commodity of oil palm plantations presents significantly different ergonomics risk factors for fresh fruit bunch (FFB) cutters during different stages of harvesting. Although the ergonomics risk factors remain the same for FFB collectors, the intensity of manual lifting increases significantly with the age of the oil palm trees-weight of FFB.

    CONCLUSIONS: There is urgent need to establish surveillance in order to determine the current prevalence of ergonomic injuries. Thereafter, ergonomics interventions that are holistic and comprehensive should be conducted and evaluated for their efficacy using approaches that are integrated, participatory and cost-effective.
