ANALISIS POSTUR TUBUH PADA OPERATOR MESIN CREEPER KARET MENGGUNAKAN METODE REBA UNTUK MENGURANGI RISIKO MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDER (MSDs) (Studi Kasus : PT Indo Java Rubber Planting, co.)

Abstract

Abstrak

Industri karet berperan penting dalam memenuhi permintaan konsumen yang tinggi, namun
ketergantungan pada mesin dan tenaga kerja manual menyebabkan risiko Gangguan Muskuloskeletal
(MSDs) akibat postur tubuh yang tidak ergonomis dan repetitif. Di PT. Indo Java Rubber Planting,
pekerja pada mesin Creeper 2 mengalami keluhan muskuloskeletal yang signifikan, yang menunjukkan
perlunya penilaian ergonomi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis postur kerja menggunakan metode
Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) untuk mengidentifikasi faktor risiko, serta memberikan
rekomendasi perbaikan guna meningkatkan keselamatan dan produktivitas pekerja.

Abstract

The rubber industry plays a crucial role in meeting high consumer demand; however, reliance on
machinery and manual labor poses risks of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) due to non-ergonomic
and repetitive postures. At PT. Indo Java Rubber Planting, workers on the Creeper 2 machine
experience significant musculoskeletal complaints, indicating the need for ergonomic assessment. This
study aims to analyze work posture using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method to identify
risk factors and provide improvement recommendations to enhance worker safety and productivity.

Keywords: rubber industry, Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), ergonomic assessment, Rapid Entire
