Abstract

Introduction: Low back pain is one of the health problems that is often experienced by workers, especially in transport workers who often do heavy lifting. According to WHO, low back pain occurs in 2% to 5% of employees in developed countries every year and causes 15% of work absenteeism, especially in the steel industry and trade sectors. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between weight lifting position and low back pain complaints based on the NIOSH Lifting Equation in transport workers at Kalimas Port Manado. Methods: The study was conducted with observational analytic research using cross sectional design. Then analysed using IBM SPSS software with spearman statistical test. Results: The results showed that most workers experienced low back pain with varying intensity. A significance value of 0.044 (p<0.05) was obtained. Conclusion: There is a relationship between the position of lifting the load with complaints of low back pain based on the NIOSH Lifting Equation in transport workers at Kalimas Port Manado

Abstract

Introduction: Porters often face the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, including Low Back Pain (LBP), due to non-ergonomic working postures while lifting loads. LBP is a condition with an increasing prevalence, reaching 619 million cases in 2020 and projected to rise to 834 million by 2025. In Indonesia, the prevalence of joint disorders is recorded at 7.3%, while in North Sulawesi, the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders reached 24.7% in 2018, with a significant increase in LBP cases in 2019. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between load-lifting positions and LBP complaints using the Ovako Work Posture Analysis System (OWAS). Methods: This research is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design involving 40 porters at Kalimas Port, Manado. Data were collected through observation, the Nordic Body Map questionnaire, and work posture assessments using OWAS. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman correlation test. Results and Discussion: Most workers exhibited non-ergonomic work postures, such as bending their backs (100%) and lifting loads heavier than 20 kg (10%). A total of 72.5% of workers reported varying intensities of LBP complaints. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between load-lifting positions and LBP complaints (p<0.001) with a strong correlation (r=0.550). Conclusion: Non-ergonomic load-lifting positions are significantly associated with LBP complaints among porters at Kalimas Port, Manado. Ergonomic improvements are necessary to reduce the risk of injurie
