“…Males' hands were 90.0 mm wide and females' hands were 79.0 mm wide. Meanwhile, a study by Massiris et al (2015) [26] was conducted on hand anthropometric measurement among Colombian Caribbean populations, showing mean anthropometric measurements of 177.13 mm for the hand length and 84.48 mm for the hand breadth.…”

In general, the manufacturing industry relies more on machine-based processes. However, in certain activities, human labor is still needed due to the limitations of the machine function, as humans are faster than the machine. However, the activities using human muscle power are at risk of postural stress and early work fatigue. Work fatigue will affect work performance and productivity. The Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), which do not consider work attitude, will result in inconvenience at work and complaints on body parts and decreased performance. Besides, it also causes the inability to meet production targets so that employees cannot reach the maximum wage, and the company suffers losses. The redesign of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) is needed to make people as the center of all improvement activities. The design used in this study was treatment by subject design. The results showed that there were differences (p <0.05) between pre- and post-intervention results, Decreased postural stress complaints (moment of compressive force) in posture 1 (7.31%), posture 2 (23.09%), and posture 3 (4.74%). In comparison, the reduction of work fatigue was obtained from 81.26±10.85 to 70.87±3.68 (12.78%). After the implementation of ergonomic-based SOPs, there was an increase in employee income by 25.23% or (IDR 2,068,091/month) and an increase in company profits (IDR 51,702,286/month). The implementation of ergonomic-based SOPs was able to reduce postural stress, fatigue, and to increase employee income and company profits.

Deficient work conditions have been linked with an epidemic of injury and illness in low and middle-income countries. A group of 22 companies from different sectors was selected in order to carry out a diagnosis related to work conditions in Colombia. To do so, an instrument was designed based on the International Labour Organization (ILO) standards. This information allowed identifying potential problems in work conditions such as work environments, physical load, noise and social welfare. Some low cost measures were discussed as suggestions to improve work conditions. Such measures are expected to generate both an increase in productivity and an enhancement in the employees' attitude. RESUMEN:Las deficientes condiciones de trabajo se relacionan con enfermedades y lesiones en los países de bajos y medianos ingresos. Un grupo de 22 empresas de diferentes sectores fue seleccionado para realizar un diagnóstico de las condiciones de trabajo en Colombia. Con el fin de hacerlo, se diseñó un instrumento basado en los estándares de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT). La información recopilada permitió identificar problemas potenciales relacionados con las condiciones de trabajo, tales como: condiciones climáticas, esfuerzo físico, ruido y bienestar social. Algunas de estas medidas de bajo costo fueron discutidas para mejorar las condiciones de trabajo, esperando que tales medidas generen un incremento de la productividad y en la actitud de los empleados.
