Abstract

A rice warehouse's operations consist of loading and unloading activities of rice from transport trucks to storage warehouses and vice versa, distributing it to nearby agents. The work at the warehouse is done manually without any tools, with workers lifting rice sacks weighing more than 50 kg onto their shoulders every day. Tasks involving sudden loading pose a risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The purpose of this study is to determine the safe weight that can be lifted by workers and to measure body posture to evaluate the risk of MSDs to prevent injuries. The NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) method is used by measuring the Recommended Weight Limit (RWL) and Lifting Index (LI). The REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) method involves measuring body parts A and B using the REBA worksheet. The study results indicate that the Lifting Index score for rice lifting has a very high risk, as does the REBA work posture score, which also shows a very high risk. Therefore, immediate improvements are needed in the loading and unloading process.

Abstract

The industrial development in Indonesia has brought significant positive impacts, including an increase in the workforce and income. However, this growth also brings negative impacts, especially in the steel fabrication sector, where the risk of workplace accidents increases due to direct interaction with heavy equipment. This research utilizes the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method to identify potential hazards and develop risk control measures at various workstations: Cutting, Drilling, Welding, and Turning. The JSA approach is systematically used to evaluate each stage of work activity and identify potential hazards that may arise. The research findings indicate that each workstation has specific risks that require appropriate control measures. For example, in the Cutting station, the risk of exposure to heat sparks can be minimized by using protective clothing and face shields. Similarly, in the Drilling station, the use of lifting aids is recommended to reduce the risk of back or muscle injuries.
