Abstract

Casting workers are at risk of experiencing HAVS complaints because in the work process required to use tools that are designed with high acceleration so that it can transmit vibrations in the hands and arms of workers during the work process takes place. This study aimed to determine the relationship of daily vibration exposure, age, duration of works, time of exposure, PPE usage, and socialization about vibration with HAVS complaints. This research uses quantitative analytic research with a cross-sectional design. The data were analyzed in univariate and bivariate ways using Chi Square Test and Independent T- test. The vibration was measured using calibrated vibration meters. The questionnaire was used for the workers. This study sample was 50 workers in the lower casting section who used Concrete Vibrators while working on Project X. The results showed that 58% of respondents had HAVS complaints. The results of the Chi-Square bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between age (POR = 8.08; 95% CI = 2.13-30.57), daily intensity of vibration exposure (POR = 4.75; 95% CI = 1, 41-16.65), duration of exposure (POR = 5.23; 95% CI = 1.41-19.43), and use of PPE (POR = 7.80; 95% CI = 2.14-28.78 ) with HAVS Complaints. Independent T-test results showed a difference in the average daily intensity of exposure between groups with HAVS complaints of 77.42 (SD = 18.54) m/s2 and those without HAVS complaints 64.93 (SD = 15.35) m/s2. Therefore, it is advisable for workers always to use PPE, especially anti-vibration gloves, and to the management, it is advisable to install a damping device on a concrete vibrator and set the work times of workers and provide information about vibration to workers.

Abstract

Background: Covid-19, which was declared by the WHO as a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, quickly change our way of life. Working from home becomes our new way of work to limit the virus spread. This study aims to present the musculoskeletal complaints by the workers and students, understand the related factors, and propose the ergonomic work station design to reduce the complaints. Methods: We spread the standardized Nordic Questionnaire through google form randomly. The 104 participants living in Indonesia participate in this study. We interview them about the work station they used at home. The questions about the perception of a “good” working position also asked. The logistic regression risk factor model was used to understand the significance of variables. Results: 42 % of respondents do not use chairs and only sit on the floor when working at home. 39.4 % of respondents work 4-6 hours/day. 67.3 % of respondents have musculoskeletal complaints, mostly felt in the neck (54 %). There was no association between the variables. Conclusion: We strongly argue that the ergonomic work station must be implemented at home during the Covid-19 quarantine in Indonesia.
