The paper presents a part of my research work for investigating ergonomic approach for modeling the risk factors for better productivity without compromising or minimize the risk for transforming measured body data between various working postures in Brick kiln. The measured human body is substituted by a proper set of critical body points under stress using fuzzy logic. The critical points data are used as a basis of transforming the data, the obtained data are used to describe specific working body postures.
