Abstract

Ergonomic problems are related to the body's suitability to work tools when performing work tasks. Based on an initial study conducted by researchers on 10 employees at UPT LIK, Magetan Regency. There are 7 out of 10 workers who lack understanding about ergonomics such as how to lift weights, the maximum limit of the weight lifted, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the effects of excessive weight lifting. Meanwhile, in the IKM section, understanding the principles of ergonomics is very important, because the work done by employees is closely related to ergonomics. The lack of awareness of workers in implementing ergonomic behavior is influenced by knowledge factors and work attitudes. Poor work knowledge and attitude are caused by the lack of ergonomics application by the industry to workers. In addition, workers also lack understanding of ergonomics in the work environment. This type of research is a quantitative research with cross sectional research. The population in this study is 230 respondents with a sample of 70 respondents in this study.
