There are at least 8 ergonomics risk assessment methods were study for comparison purpose in this paper.Based on the comparison result, there are a few limitations that can be found.The evaluation result may be dispute due to human biased.It is because, the evaluation result come from the perception of workers that taken into account.Other than that, there is limitation to observing a specific body part.Current 8 ergonomics risk assessment method had a limited to observing a body part and also the body posture of the subjects.Based on these limitations, this study explores the using of infrared thermal imaging to improve current ergonomic risk assessment method.This study also will discuss a new approach of ergonomics risk assessment method that enable to increased worker's safety through the assessment with specific feedback, due to availability of non-bias data and prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD's)
