Abstract

Tofu is one food that has a lot of devotees, especially in Indonesia. Tahu Intan is a factory engaged in making tofu which is done traditionally and operates every day. During direct interviews with workers, workers complained of pain felt in the upper body so it needed further study. Awkward body postures can cause complaints which are often called Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Therefore, the body postures of workers at Tahu Intan will be analyzed. By using the NBM and RULA questionnaires as an assessment of work posture, it is expected to be able to assess and provide recommendations for improvements for the Year of the Diamond. The assessment of the four workers for NBM was found to be in the moderate category, with the highest level of complaints in the upper left arm, right wrist, left and right hands, and pain in both knees, calves, ankles foot. The working posture that needs attention and improvement is in the process of boiling and filtering soybean juice

Abstract

Kranggot Market is one of the markets in the city of Cilegon. This traditional market sells various essential goods and basic necessities, one of which is rice. The rice sold at Kranggot Market is supplied from various regions, transported by supplier trucks to rice shops in the market. The rice offloaded from the trucks is typically carried directly by the workers of these shops. The loads carried by the workers vary, ranging from 5 kg to 50 kg, which can pose physical hazards to their bodies, such as bending issues, fractures, spine injuries, and other risks.To address these issues, a physical workload measurement is conducted on rice-carrying workers using the NIOSH method. The study aims to calculate the Recommended Weight Limit (RWL) and Lifting Index (LI), provide recommendations, and assess whether the lifting activities performed by the workers pose risks or are within safe limits. According to the calculation results, the RWL and LI values before the improvements were 10.21 and 4.90, respectively, at the origin position, and 12.67 and 3.95 at the destination position. After the suggested improvements were implemented, the RWL and LI values reached 46.32 and 1.08, respectively. It can be concluded that the recommended improvements using material handling can reduce the risk of injury to workers.

Abstract

Cahaya Murni Air melakukan kegiatan usahanya secara manual yang melibatkan anggota tubuh bekerja menarik, mengangkat dan mengangkut hal ini dapat menyebabkan musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Penelitian ini dilakukan bertujuan untuk mengetahui skor postur tubuh dengan menggunakan metode RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) serta rekomendasi batas beban yang aman bagi pekerja menggunakan metode RWL (Recommended Weight Limit). Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi langsung dan evaluasi postur kerja operator. Hasil postur menunjukkan bahwa skor RULA berada pada kategori risiko sangat tinggi, sedangkan perhitungan RWL menunjukan risiko tinggi dan sangat tinggi. Rekomendasi meliputi penggunaan alat bantu angkat, pelatihan postur kerja yang benar, dan perbaikan lingkungan kerja untuk mengurangi risiko cedera.
