Abstract

The people of West Kalimantan, especially in Punggur, Sungai Kakap, Kuburaya execute the grinding process of coffee beans with two types of processing, namely dry processing and wet processing. In the process of wet processing, there are problems, one of them is when grinding raw coffee process before the drying process. The process of grinding raw coffee is carried out with non-ergonomic equipment that causing the workers to have musculoskeletal disorders complaints, the workers are bending over so that they cannot work for a long time, and low productivity because workers have to separate the beans from the coffee skin which takes a long time. This study aims to analyze the level of musculoskeletal disorder risk experienced by workers when using a raw coffee grinder using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method. In addition, an anthropometric principle was carried out to determine the size of the tool so it can be used in an ergonomic position and can get a good working posture recommendation when using the machine. Based on RULA analysis using CATIA, show a score of 6 when lifting coffee from the grinder, grinding raw coffee, and taking the coffee grind. The result of RULA indicates that repairs and changes are needed quickly because the work posture produced by the coffee grinder is not ergonomic. Meanwhile, the results of RULA analysis using a coffee grinder after the design showed a score of 3 when lifting coffee from the grinder, a score of 4 when grinding raw coffee, a score of 3 when taking the results of the coffee grind. The score shows that the resulting posture is ergonomic and feasible to apply.

Abstract

Slouching and squatting work postures in the fish cleaning process can cause skeletal muscle injury. Based on the results of previous research conducted by Adelia (2020), the results of the existing NBM show that workers have complaints in the muscles of the neck, arms, back, waist, buttocks, hands, wrists, thighs, knees, and feet. The result of total muscle complaints individual skeletal is 75, meaning that the existing work posture requires work improvement. Improvement of working posture can be done by designing work aids in the form of desks and chairs. The determination of the MSDs risk level category was carried out by identifying the skeletal muscle complaints felt by workers using a Nordic body map (NBM) questionnaire, a working posture assessment was carried out to determine the score level in work posture using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method with the help of CATIA V5R20 software. Assistive devices in the form of desks and work chairs are designed based on complaints experienced by workers and use the anthropometric approach in determining the dimensions of work aids. Based on the results of the implementation of work aids, there was a change in the score for skeletal muscle complaints and work posture. The results showed that the average NBM value of individual muscle complaints was 56.75, this is included in the moderate risk level and the results of the RULA analysis on the repair work posture experienced a change in the final score, namely 4 (yellow).
