“…The 4-6 hours of working period in standing up position was connected consequentially in MSDs emergence (p-value=0.004) (Haile, Taye and Hussen, 2012). Bending forward with lowered arms and kneeling resulted in dangerous lumbar compression (Pinzke and Lavesson, 2018;Mishra and Satapathy, 2019).…”

Introduction: Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) symptoms are experienced by 1.71 billion of the human population and are characterized by persistent pain that decreases the ability to work in almost all types of occupations, including laboratory workers. The various stages of work in laboratory can cause complaints due to repetitive motions, manual handling, static and awkward posture, as well as long-duration of work. Therefore, this study aimed to determine risk level of work ergonomic and MSDs symptoms among laboratory workers. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design involving 71 laboratory workers who were observed from 8 to 22 June 2022. The respondents were categorized into three Similar Exposure Group (SEG), namely administrative officers, analysts, and field workers. Risk level of MSDs symptoms and work ergonomic of each SEG was measured using the instrument of SNI 9011-2021, while individual factor was estimated through the questionnaire. Results: Out of the 71 respondents, the majority were males, aged <35 years, and had <5 years of work experience. The survey revealed that half of workers experienced MSDs symptoms with a high-risk level in analysts and field workers, particularly in the lower back. The highest MSDs symptoms in all SEG were neck, lower back, upper back, and right shoulder. Conclusion: Ergonomic risk level in laboratory was dangerous for analysts and field workers, and required further assessment by administrative officers. To reduce risk level of work ergonomic, particularly for analysts and field workers, engineering control and the use of manual handling equipment can be implemented.

“…Adapun hasil pengukuran yang dilakukan pengukuran adalah sebagai berikut: Dari hasil pengolahan data dihasilkan bahwa pada pengukuran analisis postur kerja pada kegiatan pengilingan padi dengan menggunakan metode RULA didapatkan bahwa dari kelima kegiatan penggilingan, postur kerjanya memiliki skor 7 yang berarti risiko terjadinya cedera musculoskeletal disorders sangat tinggi dan memerlukan suatu perubahan secepatnya agar menimalisir terjadinya cedera kepada operator. Penelitian terdahulu juga melakukan analisis postur kepada petani di India dihasilkan bahwa proses pengakatan dalam kegiatan bertani juga memiliki skor RULA yang tinggi dan diperlukan perbaikan [12]. Selanjutnya penelitian analisis postur kerja dengan menggunakan RULA pada perusahaan garment didapatkan bahwa analisis postur kerja memiliki skor yang tinggi atau dapat dikatakan bahwa pekerjaan tersebut diperlukan perbaikan agar terhindar dari musculoskeletal disorders dan dapat meningkatkan produktivitas para pekerja [13].…”

Manual material handling (MMH) merupakan suatu kegiatan memindahkan beban yang dilakukan oleh tubuh secara manual. Salah satu contoh dari pekerjaan manual material handling dilakukan pada industri penggilingan padi. Pekerja penggilingan padi akan berpotensi menimbulkan risiko terhadap bahaya fisik dalam hal keluhan nyeri punggung, bahu, lengan dan kaki atau dikenal dengan musculoskeletal disorders. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis postur tubuh pekerja pada saat melakukan manual material handling dan menilai apakah postur kerja yang dilakukan oleh pekerja dapat menimbulkan risiko terjadinya musculoskeletal disorders atau tidak. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah Rapid Uper Limb Assessment (RULA) dan Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) kedua metode tersebut merupakan evaluasi cepat yang digunakan untuk menilai suatu pekerjaan memiliki risiko gangguan sistem otot-rangka. Hasil yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan kedua metode menunjukkan bahwa hampir seluruh kegiatan yang didokumentasikan pada penelitian ini memiliki tingkat risiko yang cukup tinggi dan berbahaya sehingga dapat menimbulkan gangguan muculoskeletal bagi pekerjanya. Rata-rata score REBA adalah 9 dan rata-rata score RULA adalah 7, dimana kedua score ini sudah termasuk dalam risk level high. Oleh karena itu, perlu diadakan perbaikan dan perubahan pada tata cara kerja untuk mencegah terjadinya musculoskeletal disorders pada pekerja penggilingan padi di UD. XYZ.

“…RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) [4] is a method that is often used to evaluate MSD in agricultural works [3,[5][6][7][8]. RULA evaluates the MSDs' risk based on observations of posture and force on the neck, shoulders, shoulders, elbows, back, and supported and balanced legs [4].…”

This study aims to compare the suitability of two ergonomic evaluation tools, AULA and RULA, in assessing musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) potential risks in oyster mushroom farmers. The evaluation was based on 26 activities involved in the oyster mushroom cultivation process, observed in four farms in Lempake Samarinda, and assessed by 12 experienced experts in ergonomics, safety and health, and agriculture. The hit rate and quadratic weighted κ were used to compare the two methods. The results showed that AULA has a higher hit rate and Kappa value than RULA, indicating a moderate level of agreement and greater suitability for evaluating WMSDs of oyster mushroom farmers in Samarinda. This finding has implications for improving the safety and health of farmers in the agriculture sector.
