“…These results could suggest that chronic conditions prevention should start with younger workers (Macdonald, Driscoll, Stuckey, & Oakman, 2012). These data, along with the fact that our results showed no associations to age, goes on with other study, that reports that even though age and length of service at the same company could be expected to correlate with musculoskeletal symptoms, not existing associations could mean that the allocation of workers in certain tasks can influence musculoskeletal symptoms (Landau et al, 2008).…”

Assembly lines are related to health risks and work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD), particularly of the neck and upper limbs (WULMSD). The assessment of perceived musculoskeletal symptoms is essential to WULMSD prevention, but studies in this field are lacking. A cross sectional survey on assembly line workers (n=270) was performed. The objective of this study was to analyze the frequency and distribution of upper limb musculoskeletal symptoms in assembly line workers. Participants were predominantly men, with ages between 30 and 40 years. Neck and upper limbs pain/discomfort were the most reported symptoms (35.9%), with intensity predominantly moderate or severe. General Health Status and past musculoskeletal injury were the variables more related to the existence of musculoskeletal symptoms; longer working life in the same company, as under 5 years, were related to higher intensity of symptoms. An early identification of musculoskeletal symptoms and health surveillance over time is of most importance to develop WRULMSD prevention measures.

“…On the other hand, criminal law is prepared by punishing those who cause safety risks even before an accident occurs. Far from that, compliance with each jurisdiction's OSH laws is monitored and enforced by that jurisdiction's OSH regulator in Australia [12].…”

An increase in work accident rates by 20% at the end of 2017 ironically accompanies the increasing number of awardee OSHMS certification in Indonesia. This paper aimed to analyze the policy of OSHMS award and its implication to the safety culture in Indonesia. This study used a literature review method with several sequential steps. The results indicated that actually, the high rate of workplace accidents was not the only factor of safety culture implementation and even could be a positive indicator of increasing awareness of reporting in OSHMS implementation. Nevertheless, Indonesia still needs to enforce the law, especially for violators of OSHMS regulations. Besides, it is necessary to approach early education to instill safe behavior and pay more investment for prevention costs to build the safety culture as well as developed countries.
