Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) atau gangguan otot rangka merupakan kerusakan pada otot, saraf, tendon, ligamen, persendian, kartilago, dan discus invertebralis. Penyebab utama terjadinya MSDs adalah postur tubuh yang salah. Postur tubuh adalah posisi bagian dari tubuh yang berhubungan dengan bagian tubuh lain yang dihubungkan oleh sudut sambungan. PT ABO FARM merupakan sebuah perusahaan yang bergerak dibidang pertanian dimana memfokuskan bisnisnya pada ekspor sayuran khususnya sayuran buncis yang berada pada kawasan desa Nengkelan, kecamatan Ciwidey, kabupaten Bandung. Salah satu kegiatan pada PT ABO FARM yaitu kegiatan loading sayuran buncis dipengumpul dengan menggunakan karung. Karung yang diangkat memiliki dimensi 96 x 43 x 36 cm dengan kapasistas sebesar 55 kg, padahal batas kapasitas yang direkomendasikan oleh NIOSH adalah sebesar 23 kg. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian postur kerja operator yang sedang melakukan handling material dengan menggunakan REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) diperoleh skor assessment sebesar 12. Nilai ini mengindikasikan bahwa postur kerja berada dalam posisi yang berbahaya sehingga diperlukan perbaikan saat ini juga. Maka dari itu, untuk melakukan perbaikan postur kerja maka pertama kali perlu dilakukan perbaikan pada material handling eksisting. Metode rasional merupakan suatu metode pendekatan yang sistematis. Metode ini banyak digunakan pada tahapan perancangan sebab memiliki tahapan yang jelas, sehingga dapat memberikan hasil rancangan dan produk akhir yang berkualitas. Setelah dilakukan design perancangan material handling, maka diperoleh skor pengangkatan sayuran buncis sebesar 2, sehingga diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa produktivitas penggunaan material handling usulan meningkat sebesar 83 persen.

Background: The automotive industry is heavily affected by sick leaves caused by the handling of loads and using postures that produce musculoskeletal disorders. Research is needed to analyse their causes and find possible solutions to eliminate or mitigate these risks. Objective: Our objective was to analyse the level of musculoskeletal risk in the different work tasks performed by truck and bus mechanics. Our intention is also to analyse whether postural training and feedback can help reduce risk. Methods: The rapid entire body assessment (REBA) was used to assess the postures performed by 35 mechanics from eight branches throughout Spain. The participants were subsequently divided randomly into two groups (experimental group and control group). The experimental group (EG) was given training and feedback on their postures and the control group (CG) was not offered any type of intervention. A few months after the initial assessment, their postural load in the usual tasks was re-evaluated. Results: An overall average REBA Score: 10.49 ± 1.33. The main risk was found in the trunk and arms with sustained above-the-head postures. EG’s second results are significantly improved compared to the first (p = 0.026 *). Conclusions: These jobs have a high-risk level of musculoskeletal disorders. The course of action presented with postural training and feedback has shown satisfactory results. Nevertheless, given the size of the sample, further research will be needed to delve deeper into this possibility as a future line of intervention.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is high among teachers. Poor posture when writing on whiteboards is considered among the important causes of these disorders. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to evaluate an electromechanical rolling whiteboard for educational environments as an ergonomic intervention. METHODS: Thirty university lecturers volunteered to take part in the study. Participants performed a 5-minute writing task on a regular board and on the newly modified whiteboard in random order. The comfort and effectiveness of the boards and the perceived physical effort and posture of the participants were evaluated and compared by applying the verbal rating scale, Borg’s rating of physical exertion scale, and rapid entire body assessment, respectively. RESULTS: A total of 83.2% of participants reported the new whiteboard to be comfortable or more comfortable to use than the regular whiteboard, and 76.6% of them found the new whiteboard to be higher or much higher in effectiveness and usefulness in comparison with the regular whiteboard. The comfort and posture ratings revealed that exertion was significantly less and posture improved while writing on the new board as compared to its counterpart (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: The new whiteboard increased user comfort, reduced physical effort, and improved posture, hopefully leading to a decreased number of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
