The refractory industry plays a critical role in various high-temperature industrial processes. However, the nature of work in this industry often involves physically demanding tasks that can lead to ergonomic challenges and occupational health risks for workers. The Purpose of this paper is to assess and reduce or eliminate Ergonomic risks using ARECC framework. It provides an overview of the importance of ergonomic assessment and risk reduction in the refractory industry. Ergonomic assessment is essential in identifying and mitigating ergonomic hazards that workers in the refractory industry face daily. These hazards include heavy lifting, repetitive motions, awkward postures, and exposure to extreme temperatures, which can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, fatigue, and decreased productivity. Ergonomic assessments involve the systematic evaluation of workplace conditions, equipment design, and work processes to identify potential risks and areas for improvement. The findings recommend a necessary change to improve or even eliminate the ergonomic related issues. The result of the data opens an opportunity for the change to improve welfare and productivity of an organization or company.
