Abstract

Background:Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common occupational health problems caused by non-ergonomic postures and repetitive activities. Every year, more than 2.3 million workers die due to occupational accidents and diseases, including musculoskeletal complaints. Such conditions were also observed in a frozen Japanese Taiyaki cake industry in Indonesia, particularly among packing workers who stand for long periods and perform repetitive movements such as lifting, bending, and arranging products into packages. These activities are suspected to increase the risk of MSDs. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints among packing workers in the frozen food industry. Method: A cross-sectional design was applied, involving 75 workers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire along with respondent characteristics. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Result: The results showed a prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints of 62.7%, with the most affected body parts being the lower back (40%), shoulders (26.7%), and neck (20%). The Chi-square analysis revealed that working duration of ≥ 8 hours per day (p = 0.001) and work period > 5 years (p = 0.003) were significantly associated with MSDs, while age and gender showed no significant relationship. Conclusion: In conclusion, the prevalence of MSDs among packing workers in the frozen food industry was relatively high, with work duration and length of employment as the main contributing factors. Ergonomic interventions such as work schedule adjustment, task rotation, and active stretching programs are recommended to reduce musculoskeletal complaints.

Abstract

ANALYSIS OF TRADERS' PREPAREDNESS IN FIGHTING FIRE IN MASOMBA MARKET, PALU CITY Fire is a disaster that can cause severe losses to managers, owners, users, and the surrounding community. Traditional markets are particularly vulnerable to fire incidents, with impacts ranging from economic damage to threats to human safety. This study aimed to analyze the preparedness of traders in fire disaster management at Masomba Market, Palu City, and to provide a basis for developing preparedness programs, including education, training, and fire drills. A mixed-method design with a concurrent triangulation approach was applied, integrating qualitative and quantitative methods equally. The study was conducted at Masomba Market, Palu City, from August to September 2025. The results showed no significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes with traders’ preparedness in fire prevention. However, training and counseling were positively associated with improved preparedness. Overall, traders demonstrated sufficient knowledge, attitudes, and participation in training, as supported by interviews and probing with informants. Nonetheless, some informants provided responses that diverged from general ethical norms. The study suggests that traders should actively engage in fire preparedness training and consistently apply the acquired skills in daily practices.
