Manual material handling follows in nearly all working surroundings, although labors in agriculture fields, construction sites, restaurants, and hotels area are likely to be working with heavy jobs in terms of weight, currencies, Manual handling of the heavy load may turn in to a growing disorder due to the steady or increasing drop of the musculoskeletal system due to constant material lifting / handling events. It may also reason to acute trauma like bone fractures or skin cuts from accidents. One must begin to identify the correct process of methods to deal with each material to solve the problem. Adherence to standard procedures for long-term resolution of the long-term effects caused by incorrect manual material handling, is addressed through specially designed workouts after or before work and, ultimately, also automated technology Or involved in providing assistance through manual tools that assist the user in dealing with content. The proposed task is to conduct studies to identify process issues and future results and to provide solutions to the industry by means of analysis and following standard procedures. This paper mainly deals with issues directly or indirectly in many aspects and discusses solutions implemented to deal with manual content in various industry. The study concluded with a novel automation solution for rapid analysis of effects due to manual analysis that could take years to identify.

Perawat merupakan profesi tenaga kesehatan terbanyak di rumah sakit yang harus menangani dan merawat pasien selama 24 jam dan melakukan asuhan keperawatan yang menerapkan tindakan manual material handling. Manual material handling berisiko menimbulkan beban kerja fisik yang ditandai dengan adanya nyeri di daerah otot yang disebut dengan keluhan muskuloskeletal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan beban kerja fisik dengan keluhan muskuloskeletal pada perawat di ruang Lely 1 dan 2 RSUD Buleleng. Penelitian ini merupakan deskriptif korelasional dengan rancangan penelitian cross sectional. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 25 responden yang dipilih dengan metode probability sampling yaitu total sampling. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu cardiovascular load dengan menggunakan ten pulse method dan Nordic Body Map. Hubungan beban kerja fisik dengan keluhan muskuloskeletal pada perawat dianalisis menggunakan Pearson Product Moment karena data berdistribusi normal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki beban kerja fisik katagori sangat ringan (84%) dan keluhan muskuloskeletal kategori rendah (84%). Uji Pearson Product Moment menunjukkan adanya hasil yang signifikan dengan nilai p yaitu 0,000, r=0,806. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini yaitu ada hubungan yang positif antara beban kerja fisik dengan keluhan muskuloskeletal pada perawat di ruang Lely 1 dan 2 RSUD Buleleng. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, disarankan untuk menerapkan sikap ergonomis sesuai prosedur dalam memberikan asuhan keperawatan.

Despite increased levels of automation in manufacturing occupations in recent years, many activities are still performed through human intervention and involve Manual Material Handling (MMH), thus exposing workers to stress due to over-exertion and potential Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSDs). An early ergonomic and physical demand assessment of work activities is critical to reducing exposure to risk and to maintaining desired levels of productivity. Biomechanics consists of applying concepts of static and dynamic equilibrium to different parts of the human musculoskeletal system using free-body diagrams to estimate muscle force and loads generated across the joints and tissues. System dynamics is a powerful tool applied in resolving complex problems with different influencing variables. This technique can help designers and managers to understand, evaluate and simulate the factors causing problems in the system. This paper presents the application of System Dynamics modeling to assess the biomechanical risks associated with manual material handling tasks. The case study presents predicted cumulative biomechanical compressive loads from material handling task and can assist project managers to understand and reduce exposure to ergonomic risks in the workplace.
