What are the ergonomic risks for artists working long hours with rattan?
Artists working long hours with rattan face several ergonomic risks that can impact their health and productivity. Prolonged periods of weaving or crafting can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and chronic back pain. Poor posture, repetitive motions, and inadequate tools exacerbate these risks. To mitigate these issues, artists should take regular breaks, use ergonomic tools, and maintain proper posture. Stretching exercises and workspace adjustments can also help reduce strain. Prioritizing ergonomics ensures sustainable artistry and long-term well-being for rattan craftsmen.
