Abstract

CV Kharisma Textile is a textile company that relies on manual porters to lift and transfer fabric rolls weighing 25–40 kg without assistive tools. This study aims to analyze ergonomic risks and the potential for Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) among porters using the Workplace Ergonomic Risk Assessment (WERA) method. Two primary working postures were evaluated based on direct field observations. The WERA assessment results showed that Posture 1 had a high-risk score (53), while Posture 2 was categorized as moderate risk (44). The highest risk factors were identified in the back, neck, and wrists. Ergonomic recommendations included the use of lifting aids, workstation redesign, ergonomic training, and periodic evaluations. This study highlights the importance of ergonomic interventions in reducing injury risks and improving workplace safety and comfort.

 

Abstrak

CV Kharisma Textile merupakan industri tekstil yang mengandalkan tenaga kuli panggul untuk mengangkat dan memindahkan roll kain dengan berat 25–40 kg secara manual. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis risiko ergonomi dan potensi gangguan muskuloskeletal akibat kerja (WMSDs) pada kuli panggul dengan menggunakan metode Workplace Ergonomic Risk Assessment (WERA). Dua postur kerja utama dianalisis berdasarkan observasi langsung di lapangan. Hasil perhitungan WERA menunjukkan bahwa Postur 1 memiliki skor risiko tinggi (53) dan Postur 2 berada pada kategori risiko sedang (44). Faktor risiko tertinggi ditemukan pada punggung, leher, dan pergelangan tangan. Rekomendasi perbaikan ergonomis yang diajukan meliputi penggunaan alat bantu, perbaikan tata letak kerja, pelatihan ergonomi, dan evaluasi berkala. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya intervensi ergonomi untuk mengurangi risiko cedera dan meningkatkan keselamatan serta kenyamanan kerja.
