Design of standard operating procedure (SOP) based at ergonomic working attitude through musculoskeletal disorders (Msd’s) complaints

Abstract

PT PJC is a company synthetic resin. Synthetic resin is that produced by PT PJC is sold to the market in three types of packing, one of then is the drum packing type that weigh 208 kg. One of the activities that use the manual handling product (manual material handling) is the activity of filling, the drum-packed product will be transfered with drum packaging to the finishing goods area which done by the man force. Manual material handling concept has several advantages, one of which is easy to do by humans. However, manual handling material handling becomes an issue if the material load exceeds the maximum lifting of the worker because of the potential risk of injury to the human body, especially if it is carried out simultaneously for a relatively long period of time. One of the risks of human injury that can be experienced is Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). This research will investigate the musculoskeletal complaints on Filling workers which will form the basic of the ergonomically-based Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) design basic. Data is taken by a Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire. The result shows that most of the dominant body pain felt by the worker as the impact of previous day’s work was the complaints of pain on the left and right wrists, left and right palms, left and right knees, left and right calves, left and right ankles, while the pains felt by the workers after the activity are pain in the back, waist, left and right elbow, left and right thighs, left and right calvs, left and right ankles. The pain work will disappear after the night rest, but there is no guarantee that the worker’s body will be fit in the morning, because of the remnants of body pain that have not been fully fit, thus affecting the readiness of physical conditions at work in the morning. These body pain can be reduced by designing the right standard operating procedure (SOP) based on an ergonomic work attitude. Musculoskeletal pain before the activity were 39.3 ± 10.6 and after activity was 76.5 ± 14.9 or an increase in musculoskeletal pain of 94.66%.

Perbaikan Sistem Kerja untuk Meningkatkan Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3) Serta Produktivitas Melalui Pendekatan Ergonomi Partisipatif (Studi Kasus Di PT. Eka Karya Sinergi Bandung)

“…Kemudian menurut Susihono et al (2018), untuk mengurangi risiko gangguan muskuloskeletal saat melakukan proses produksi, memiliki Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) berdasarkan sikap kerja yang baik dalam membetulkan aktivitas manual merupakan hal yang penting. Melalui perancangan SOP yang tepat berdasarkan sikap kerja yang ergonomis, nyeri tubuh yang dirasakan pekerja dapat dikurangi.…”

Innovations in Ergonomic Risk Assessment and Intervention in Material Handling

“…Karimi et al (2020) did a special study in a milk factory, showing that starting ergonomic steps and manager decisions together made better ways of working and less muscle soreness. In making things, farming, health help, and building work areas, moving things many times don't think of ergonomics, causing MSDs (Susihono et al, 2018;Yusof & Shalahim, 2020;Marak et al, 2020;Qureshi et al, 2019;Curbano, 2018). Yusof & Shalahim (2020) saw that workers making things felt a lot of lower back MSDs, with lifting heavy things being a big danger.…”

Musculoskeletal Disorders: Industrial Insights and Ergonomic Interventions

“…Such actions highlight the remarkable potential of custom ergonomic solutions, significantly altering traditional work methodologies in these surroundings. In a similar timeframe, Susihono et al (2018) directed their academic attention to the challenges faced by filling workers, a specialized yet crucial component of the industrial labor force. Their research portrayed a worrisome scenario, enumerating the numerous musculoskeletal challenges afflicting these personnel.…”
