Abstract

PT. Adyawinsa Stamping Industry is one of the automotive companies in Karawang, West Java. In the production process, most of the work has poor posture, which can cause VascularDisorders (MSDs). In the process of eliminating and reducing the risk of MSDs in the workplace, the level of MSD risk experienced by workers is calculated using the REBA method. The results of the REBA calculation obtained several activities with values above 9 (meaning that an improvement is needed). To improve the work system using the Participatory ergonomic (PE) method involving the operator, management and ergonomics. The results of the application of PE in helping to reduce the risk level of MSDs are engineering (making auxiliary tools and also management engineering) that can improve the work posture used, namely using the REBA method. Based on the results of the REBA calculation after the improvement, the risk generated is a risk level smaller than the previous posture, namely medium and low. Real improvements are hoped to create a safe, comfortable, and productive workplace.

Abstract

The results of preliminary observations of the working conditions and environment of freight workers in the 16 Ilir Market, Palembang City, South Sumaetera Province are categorized as less ergonomic in physical, work environment, psychological, organizational and management aspects. Freight workers work by placing baskets on their heads, on their backs and even some without tools directly on their shoulders which load basic food items, and loading-unloading warehousing goods, weighing ±35 kg, a distance of ±500 meters with a low level of productivity. After finishing work, freight workers experience aches all throughout the body, particularly in the legs and neck, as well as waist and back pain. Based on work pulse frequency, the workload was determined to be 131.25±14.10 beats per minute, and it was categorized as heavy work. The fatigue score reached 69.10±15.29 and the musculoskeletal disorder score was 61.25±7.44. The method used is a total ergonomics approach, to enhance work productivity by reducing workload, fatigue, and musculoskeletal system issues. Thirty research samples were chosen by simple randomization of freight workers for this same-subject experimental study. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the t-paired test were used to evaluate the data at a 5% significance level. Workload, weariness, and musculoskeletal complaints significantly decreased, and productivity increased (p<0.05), according to the data. In conclusion, the total ergonomics approach reduced workload as seen from the decrease in: work pulse rate by 15.61%, fatigue by 58.97%, musculoskeletal system complaints by 28.78%. Consequently, there was a 21.00% increase in productivity. The total ergonomics approach can improve the quality of life and work productivity of freight workers in 16 Ilir Market, Palembang City, South Sumatera Province

Abstract

Energy drinks are stimulants that men or women generally use to handle sleepiness while driving with sleep deprivation. There is no study about energy drink’s effect on gender. This study aims to learn about energy drinks in different genders while driving with sleep deprivation. Research is done using a laboratory approach using a driving simulator. Ten men and ten women were participants (21 ± 0.95 years). Participants were asked to drive for 90 minutes, and before driving the simulator, participants drank coconut water or Kratingdeng based on the planned order. PVT measured awareness before and after participants used the simulator. Dependent variables measured are mean RT, %minor lapses, and mean 1/RT. EEG evaluated sleepiness during the driving session. Based on ANOVA, energy drinks did not influence mean RT (p-value = 0,088), mean 1/RT (p-value= 0,058), %minor lapses (p-value =0,571), and EEG (p-value = 0,348). Meanwhile, EEG measured sleepiness and was only influenced by gender (p-value = 0,048). Based on the test, there is no difference between the two energy drinks. It is caused by an energy drink’s material that gives the body the same stimulant level. There is a difference in Mean 1/RT between gender and energy drinks. It is caused by composition such as potassium in coconut water or taurine and caffeine in Kratingdeng. The research shows that energy drinks do not influence awareness and sleepiness while driving for 90 minutes. However, energy drinks give different results in awareness of different genders.
