Evaluasi Postur Kerja  Operator Pemasangan Fire Brick Berbasis Metode Rapid Upper Limb Assessment dan Work Ergonomic Risk Assessment Di PT ABA

A service provider is known as a job that profoundly depends on human work. Musculoskeletal disorder is considered a risk in such work. PT. ABA is a contractor service company that provide some services. The fire brick installation is a part of the refractory project, which is carried out continuously at the customer's request. Early results using the Nordic Body Map questionnaire found severe risk, which may lead to wellbeing difficulty. This study aims to evaluate musculoskeletal disorder risk due to inappropriate posture in fire brick installation activities. Rapid Upper Limb Assessment and Work Ergonomic Risk Assessment are ergonomic risk approaches used in this study. This research found two final scores using RULA and WERA calculation. RULA final score is 44, classified as a medium score. The evaluation results of the RULA method obtained a final score of 7 with an extreme condition. An urgent improvement is a necessity in order to improve posture and work positioning of fire brick installation.

Ergonomic Risk

In this paper we consider scheduling problem under ergonomic risk factors. We recruit OCRA index to control musculoskeletal disorder along schedule. Modern manufacturing systems competition power depends on cost, time and flexibility level. Despite of high level automation in manufacturing system, flexibility depends on human workforce. From this perspective, for gaining high rate production, workforces have to endure high frequency manual job. This case causes musculoskeletal disorder. Musculoskeletal disorder which had to be control is one of the most important ergonomic risks in work environment. We used OCRA index mean value for ergonomic risk assessment. We also named this new type of scheduling as Ergo-Scheduling. Keywords: Ergonomic risk assessment, scheduling, single machine scheduling, deterioration, OCRA Index;

Ergonomic Risk

Bureau of Labor Statistics in Indonesia notes that musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) is the main category of injury causes in workplaces leading to 30% compensation costs. The purpose of this paper was to know the risk of work position of wire harness companies using workplace ergonomic risk assessment (WERA) for basic workstation improvements. The first step of this research was studying the literature of MSD, work posture, work position, and WERA. It subsequently proceeded with the identification and assessment process using WERA on each type of wiring harness activity. From the research results, it was obtained three jobs indicated causing muscle injury and soreness namely torque job, grommet job, and offline job. Moreover, the problem was supported by complaints from most workers known by using a discomfort survey. Based on the problem, this research was conducted to find out the action levels with WERA method and give improvement recommendation to overcome the problem of musculoskeletal disorders. The results of WERA showed that torque, grommet, and offl ine jobs needed further investigation and improvement with the scores of 31.23, 28.87, and 30.9. Recommendations were then given in the form of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce the risk factor scores on contract stress, to provide a new workstation design of torque job, and to add aids for solving other pain problems.

Ergonomic Risk

Zusammenfassung Zur ergonomischen Beurteilung von Arbeitsplätzen werden „ergonomic risk assessment tools“ (ERAT) verwendet. Mithilfe dieser kann die körperliche Belastung evaluiert und hinsichtlich eines biomechanischen Überlastungsrisikos bewertet werden. Dazu gehören neben Eigenangaben auch observatorische Methoden, deren Ergebnisse in Punktwerten („Scores“) zusammengefasst werden, wie z. B. die RULA-Methode („rapid upper limb assessment“). Durch die technische Weiterentwicklung direkter Messmethoden können inertiale Motion-Capture-Systeme im 21. Jahrhundert präzise und kontinuierliche objektive Daten liefern. In einem neuen Ansatz wurde die observatorische Scoring-Methode RULA modifiziert und auf die digital erhobenen Daten angewendet, was differenzierte ergonomische Betrachtungen ganzer Arbeitsabläufe ermöglicht.
