Analysis of MSDs and Work Posture Assessment in Denim Workers Surabaya
Keywords:
MSDs, Posture, NBM, REBA, TailorAbstract
The risk factors for Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are caused by human work activities such as awkward positions, repetitive motions and manual handling, especially in the fashion industry in the tailor field. Muscle complaints begin with a feeling of heat, tension and stiffness in certain body parts due to too long duration or excessive loading. This study aims to analyze the subjective complaints of MSDs using a Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire and work posture using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) worksheet. This research is a cross sectional study using 6 respondents in the production department of Denim Works. The results showed that the majority of workers had moderate MSDs (66.7%), while the rest had low MSDs (33.3%). The complaints most often felt were the upper neck, both shoulders, back, waist, upper and lower buttocks and right leg. All workers in the production department have a moderate level of risk of working posture (100%). Most of the respondents had moderate MSDs subjective fatigue complaints and all of them had a moderate risk of working posture, so they needed to improve their work posture. Suggestions that can be given are the procurement of seats that have backrests that can be changed in height, stretch programs and changes to work tables.
