Abstract

Iron work in the implementation of reinforced concrete work has ergonomic hazards or high potential hazards, including unnatural work posture (squatting, bending, turning the body repeatedly) in a relatively long time. The accumulation of unnatural work postures for a long time can cause premature fatigue, decreased work speed, level of accuracy, level of alertness, and the degree of health of workers which leads to a decrease in work productivity. Previous research showed that the analysis of work posture in reinforced concrete using the RULA method resulted in a RULA score of 7 (seven) and the Ergonomic Risk Factor measurement was 9 (nine), which means that these working conditions have a very high potential hazard that can cause skeletal muscle complaints. Musculoskeletal Disorders – MSDs) and require immediate improvement of working conditions. For this reason, research is carried out in the form of controlling potential hazards by redesigning existing tetrapods so as to reduce the score of potential ergonomic hazards and the tetrapod can be used not only for beam work but for all types of reinforced concrete work. The measurement of the potential hazard score was carried out in two ways, namely using RULA and using ergonomic risk factor assessment SNI 9011: 2021. The results showed that there was a decrease in the RULA score from 7 to 5 and a decrease in ergonomic potential hazard from a score of 9 to 4. It was concluded that the redesign of the work desk Ergonomics reduces the level of ergonomic risks factor.
