Abstract:
In the manufacturing industry, it is very common to encounter many complaints of MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders) from the workers. MSDs can occur due to body postures that support excessive loads, unnatural body positions during work, and repetitive activities when workers are trying to repair machinery or produce goods. Therefore, it is important to conduct body posture measurements for workers using the REBA method and to make adjustments to support ergonomic work postures. The REBA method is also used to determine which activity posture has the highest risk and which body parts are at the highest risk of injury. To minimize the occurrence of MSDs and the potential for injuries among workers at Tunas Toyota Cilegon, recommendations for improving workers' body postures include designing ergonomic tools such as adjustable chairs to support ergonomic body postures among workers. These improvements not only reduce the risk of MSDs but also enhance the overall well-being and productivity of the workers.
