Description |
Manual material handling if done inappropriately can pose a risk of injury to the body, mainly in the spine, which is usually referred as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Based on direct interview with warehouse workers of PT. X, it is known that in the lifting or transfering mineral water activity often causes pain in the waist and spine. This study is intended to analyze the work posture and the load level that is safe for workers to reduce the risk of MSDs, the analysis is carried out with the Recommended Weight Limit (RWL) method. From the calculation gained RWL origin = 15.36kg / 34.07lbs and destination RWL = 18.54kg / 41.12lbs. Then the origin LI value = 0.9 and destination LI = 0.8. From the results of the Lifting Index can be concluded that the risk level of this work is low and there is no problem with the lifting work. The weight of load raised does not exceed the recommended lifting limit, so there are no repairs to the work needed, but the activity must keep to get attention so the LI value can be maintained and the activity does not bear the risk of spinal injury.
Pengangkutan material secara manual apabila dilakukan dengan tidak tepat dapat menimbulkan resiko cedera pada tubuh, utamanya pada bagian tulang belakang yang biasanya disebut dengan musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Berdasarkan wawancara secara langsung kepada para pekerja gudang di PT. X ini, diketahui bahwa pada aktivitas pengangkatan atau pemindahan dus air mineral sering mengakibatkan nyeri pada pinggang dan tulang belakang. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk menganalisis postur kerja dan tingkat beban yang aman bagi para pekerja untuk mengurangi resiko terjadinya MSDs, analisis dilakukan dengan metode Recommended Weight Limit (RWL). Dari perhitungan didapatkan nilai RWL origin = 15,36kg/34,07lbs dan nilai RWL destination = 18,54kg/41,12lbs. Kemudian nilai LI origin = 0,9 dan LI destination = 0,8. Dari hasil Lifting Index tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa tingkat resiko pekerjaan ini rendah, pada pekerjaan ini tidak ada masalah dengan pekerjaan angkat-angkut. Berat beban yang diangkat tidak melebihi batas pengangkatan yang direkomendasikan, sehingga tidak diperlukan perbaikan terhadap pekerjaan, tetapi harus terus mendapatkan perhatian agar nilai LInya dapat tetap dipertahankan sehingga aktivitas tersebut tidak mengandung resiko cedera tulang belakang. |
