PERBAIKAN FASILITAS KERJA MEMBATIK DENGAN PENDEKATAN ERGONOMI UNTUK MENGURANGI MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS
ABSTRACT: Small and middle
enterprises have been the important part
of the economic of a nation or a local. Karang Write-Batik is one industrial
center which is located at Karang Village, Semanding Subdistrict, Tuban
District. Early observation shows that various processes within the production
of Write-Batik are conducted without considering ergonomic aspects, such as
work method and work facility. It may result in complaint and even muscle
injury which is called Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD’s) Many pronlem of pain
perceived by workers are caused by less ergonomic work position or work
posture. It may also be evident because the less correspondence between work
equipment and workers’ anthropometry size. To measure workers’ musculoskeletal
injured, the author uses Standard Nordic Questionnaire (SNQ) and to assess work
posture, Quick Exposure Check (QEC) is used. The reduction of workers’
musculoskeletal injuredt can be realized by improving work facility based on
workers’ anthropometry size. Result of early measurement of exposure level of
several parts of body indicates that the exposure level of the back is 26,
while that of the arm is 30, that of the hand wrist is 26, and that of the neck
is 16. After the improvement of work facility, workers’ complaint is reduced
and so is exposure level. The exposure level with the improved work facility is
shown as follows: the exposure level of the back is 22, while that of the arm
is 22, that of the hand wrist is 22 and that of the neck is 14.
