Perbaikan Sistem Kerja dengan Pendekatan Ergonomi untuk Mengurangi Risiko Kelelahan dan Kesalahan Postur Kerja di UKM Misdi Box

Abstract

Humans play a central role in their activities, namely as planners, designers, implementers and evaluators in every activity (work), humans as a source of labor are still dominant in carrying out the production process, especially repetitive activities, especially when humans work manually. Work like this can cause rapid fatigue and complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDS). The main cause of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDS) is poor work posture when carrying out activities at work. MSDs are complaints in the skeletal muscles resulting from incorrect working posture and receiving static loads repeatedly over a long period of time. MSDs can cause damage to muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, and intervertebral discs. Based on research, it was concluded that the highest type of complaint was pain in the waist, followed by pain in the lower neck and pain in the left knee and right knee. To reduce the level of worker complaints, researchers provide suggestions in the form of redesigning facilities in the form of more ergonomic work desks. Researchers hope that companies can implement the suggestions given in this research so that operators can avoid occupational diseases and can work comfortably without having complaints.
