The population in this study amounted to 120 employees who work on the morning shift using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique obtained a sample of 45 employees. Work fatigue was measured using the Industrial Fatigue Research Committee (IFRC) questionnaire, physical workload was measured using a pulse oxymeter, mental workload was measured using a NASA-TLX questionnaire, nutritional status was measured using microtoise and weight scales. Statistical analysis used was the chi-square test and the Spearman rank test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between physical workload (p-value 0.006), exercise frequency (p-value 0.021) and nutritional status (p-value 0.014) with work fatigue, there was no relationship between age (p-value 0.196), years of service (p-value 0.107), smoking habits (p-value 0.576) and mental workload (p-value 0.331) with work fatigue.
