Leather handycraft industry produces handicrafts such as bags, shoes, wallets, belts. On production process atcutting division, work posture condition is too bent. A preliminary study on 20 workers found musculoskeletal complaints was greater than 50% at 16 items, mostly in upper limbs. Based on these complaints, research was on work posture using RULA and Sympton Questionnaire. Research purposes was to determine the risk level and relationship with UEWMSDs on the worker. The result of RULA found that work posture with RULA score was 7 (seven) that means 3 (three) risk level that very high category, and needs to be repaired as soon as possible. Symptom Questionnaire answer related to worker's complaint, which are complaints of shoulder and arm pain was 50%, pain after work 1-4 years was 85%, duration of illness <1 hour was 85%, move to another part due to illness was 55%, pain increase when the activity was 100%, and pain reduce at rest was 90%. Base on the condition, it was needed to redesigned cutting table evaluated by RULA category 3 (three) based on anthropometry of workers
UD. Pandawa Tire is a UD engaged in the manufacture of tires retreaded. The production process at Pandawa Tires still often does overtime due to the number of new employees 9 people and the average target of making 60 tires every day which causes fatigue and mental and physical workload. The analytical methods used to measure the physical and mental workload of workers are Cardiovascular Load (CVL) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX). The results showed that the greatest physical workload was felt by workers with a CVL percentage of 46.1%, which was between 30% to 60% in the medium category, meaning that improvements are needed but not urgent. While the results of the measurement of mental workload showed that all workers were included in the high category, with the largest NASA-TLX score of 83.33. Correlation Test was Pearson Product Moment conducted to see the relationship between the value of the physical and mental workload received by the worker. The results of the calculation of the correlation test show that there is a relationship between CVL and NASA-TLX, although there is a correlation, but the correlation is significant in influencing each other between the amount of physical workload and mental workload felt by workers. The correlation value of r obtained is 0.672. Which means that there is a strong positive correlation between the physical workload and the mental burden felt by the Pandawa tire workers
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
