Abstract

The textile industry is one of the industrial activities that is carried out repeatedly with static positions and has non-ergonomic rules, causing musculoskeletal disorders such as stiff neck, back pain, muscle pain in the shoulder and calf areas. These complaints can reduce work productivity in garment workers. This study aims to determine the musculoskeletal disorders experienced by garment workers x. This study was conducted through direct observation, interviews, and filling out the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire to measure musculoskeletal disorders. The results showed that the most complaints of pain were in the waist, upper neck, and the back. For the classification of risk levels based on the Nordic Body Map score, 17 respondents (85%) experienced a risk level of MSDS disorders with the "low" category, 3 respondents (15%) with the "medium" category, and there were no respondents with the "high" category. To prevent more serious health problems in the future, it is important for garment workers to always apply ergonomic principles in their work. So that workers can maintain their health and work productivity in the long term.

Abstract

The safety and health of workers in the furniture painting industry are a primary concern, given the increasing use of hazardous chemicals that can lead to various health issues. This study aims to analyze the inhalation risk associated with thinner use among furniture painting workers at Furniture X. Using a descriptive research method; the analysis focuses on inhalation exposure risks linked to thinner chemicals. Data were collected through a review of thinner Safety Data Sheets (SDS), field observations, and structured interviews, with the findings assessed using the Chemical Health Risk Assessment (CHRA) framework. The assessment considered Hazard Rating (HR), Exposure Rating (ER), and Risk Rating (RR) factors. The results indicate that thinner, which is mixed with paint for the painting process, contains chemicals such as toluene (CAS: 108-88-3), xylene (CAS: 1330-20-7), and acetone (CAS: 67-64-1), each with varying levels of risk (RR). One of the substances in thinner, xylene, was identified as having significant potential to cause respiratory irritation. The study concludes that the CHRA method applied to the furniture painting process at Furniture X revealed three hazardous chemicals in the thinner used, with xylene posing a notable health risk. These findings underscore the need to implement safe work procedures and ensure the appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
