Abstract
The design of safe and comfortable hand tools is critical to avoid CTDs such as carpal tunnel syndrome. In Malaysian industries, many hand tools are not designed for Malaysian dimensions both in terms of strength and physical dimensions. In this paper, the parameters critical for gripping are made available for designing hand tools for manual handling.
