Musculoskeletal problems are problematic in Indonesia because manual work activities such as lifting, transporting, pulling and pushing are still being done. Pottery-making workers in the Kasongan are still doing those moves traditionally such as lifting, transporting, pulling and pushing manually. The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk of MSDs in the pottery making workers in Kasongan. This research was cross sectional design. The sample amounted to 78 workers selected using accidental sampling techniques. The instruments used Nordic Body Map questionnaire and Rapid Entire Body Assessment. Data analysis was using the chi fisher test. The results showed that the variables associated were age (sig= 0.000) and variables that had no relationship were gender (sig= 0.341) and work posture (sig= 0.352). The risk factor associated with complaints of MSDs is age, so to reduce the risk of the occurrence of MSDs, they can do physical activity or stretch muscles.

Pekerjaan konstruksi memiliki resiko yang tinggi, salah satu jenis bahaya yang terdapat dikonstruksi ini yaitu bahaya ergonomi. Bahaya ergonomi yang sering terjadi adalah pada saat installasi material. Pemasangan bracket lantai pada instalasi kaca memiliki resiko yang cukup berbahaya untuk kesehatan sehingga mendapatkan perhatian khusus. Disamping ketidakwajaran postur yang dimiliki oleh pekerja, pekerjaan tersebut memerlukan waktu sekitar 20-30 menit untuk satu kali pemasangan. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah: Rancang ulang Extrusion Torque untuk intalasi panel kaca dan membandingkan resiko kerja sebelum dan sesudah adanya alat bantu kerja tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kusioner Nordic Body Map (NBM), Rapid Entire Body Assessment, Anthopometri dan proses perancangang produk. Setelah dihasilkan rancang bangun alat bantu Extrusion Torque dapat mengurangi resiko ergonomi terjadi pengurangan pada keluhan fisik dari pekerja. Berdasarkan perbandingan analisa REBA pada postur tubuh pekerja sebelum menggunakan Extrusion Torque yang baru berada pada skor 9 dan setelah menggunakan Extrusion  yang baru diperoleh nilai REBA 6. Pada saat dilakukan wawancara dengan menggunakan kuisioner NBM, ditemukan bahwa pekerja mengalami keluhan-keluhan fisik yang terjadi pada bagian tubuh terdiri dari 12 titik keluhan fisik dan setelah implementasi terjadi pengurangan jumlah keluhan menjadi 4 keluhan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Extrusion Torque yang baru lebih baik secara ergonomic dari pada alat Extrusion Torsi sebelumnya.

COVID-19 has become a global pandemic, and one of the government's actions in the education sector to prevent transmission through online class activities or online classrooms has been adopted. During the pandemic, it was discovered that using computers with improper or non-ergonomic body postures during online classes might cause muscular fatigue and raise the incidence of musculoskeletal problems. Using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method, this study seeks to detect musculoskeletal complaints and assess the posture of UMM students when using a laptop. Because online learning lasts more than 2 hours, posture that is not in accordance with the comfort of using a laptop can lead a person to exhaust more rapidly in front of a laptop for a relatively long period, especially in the upper neck, back, and waist, which stand for 80% of the body parts. This is supported by the study of respondents using a questionnaire distribution technique that provided a REBA score of 7 and a moderate risk level, indicating that remedial action is required. After a recommended improvement with a low risk level for MSDs, a REBA score of 3 was established. Suggestions that can be considered are that it is necessary to improve sitting work posture, it is recommended to work on a table and sit in a reclining chair so that the proposed work posture improvement can be carried out.

This research aims to identify mental workload on  NASA-TLX for mental workload and packaging division and work posture on processing division at PT. XYZ. This research uses RULA and REBA methods for work posture. NASA-TLX (Task Load Index) is  used to determine mental work in packaging division. RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) is used to determine the upper body musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) injury in the process of production (which consists of weighing and processing station) at PT. XYZ and REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) is used to determine entire body MSDs injury in the production process. Those methods are applied to indicate that the workers are in fact working above the safety limit. Based on NASA-TLX method, it is clear that 21 of 30 workers feel that the work is very heavy. Another case, two unusual postures are found, one is determined by the action level of worker who lifting 20 kgs sack of powder is 10, so the action level of REBA in this case is hardly dangerous. The other one is determined by a worker who entering an ingridient to the machine, weight of the ingridient is 17,05 kgs. It means more than 10 kgs, and thus it can affect body posture. Keywords: Ergonomics, NASA-TLX, REBA, RULA

Pengangkatan merupakan salah satu aktivitas yang dilakukan pada proses penggilingan daging. Proses ini memiliki risiko yang sangat besar apabila dilakukan dengan postur yang kurang tepat, di CV Selera Prima Food pengangkatan daging masih dilakukan secara manual dengan bantuan operator. Proses produksi yang tidak sebentar dan beban yang diangkat sekitar 15 – 20 kg setiap kali pengangkatan, serta postur tubuh yang kurang ergonomis membuat operator mengalami keluhan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu Nordic Body Map (NBM) dan Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). Keluhan sangat sakit yang didapatkan berdasarkan kuesioner Nordic Body Map (NBM) yaitu leher bagian atas dan bawah serta lengan bawah kiri dan kanan. Keluhan sakit yaitu pada bagian lengan atas kiri dan kanan, punggung, pinggang, betis kiri, serta betis kanan. Hasil pengolahan data dengan REBA proses pengangkatan memiliki skor 10 yang berarti kategori risiko tinggi. Hal ini disebabkan saat melakukan aktivitas mengangkat bahan baku dilakukan dengan badan membungkuk dan kedua tangan lurus tegak memegang ember. Usulan perbaikan postur kerja saat melakukan mengangkat bahan baku disarankan lebih baik diawali dengan gerakan jongkok ataupun setengah duduk dan mengurangi beban yang diangkat.
