Statistical analysis using Fisher Exact Test showed that there is a correlation between work posture with back muscle fatigue on the activity of checking/adjusting and lubricating gas cable (p = 0,033). There was no correlation between work posture with back muscle fatigue on air filtering activity (p = 1.00), oil check/change activity (p = 0,272), and brake checking activity (p = 0,539). It is recommended for workers to stretch on the sidelines of work. for the workshop manager to design/repair hydraulic aids so that it can be used by workers.
