Abstrak

Peningkatan kebutuhan jasa laundry menyebabkan tingginya tuntutan kerja pada tenaga kerja di industri ini, khususnya pada PT. Laundry Box Cabang ke-57. Aktivitas kerja yang melibatkan posisi berdiri, membungkuk, serta mengangkat beban berulang dapat menyebabkan gangguan pada sistem otot rangka atau musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat risiko ergonomi yang dialami oleh tenaga kerja menggunakan metode Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) dan memberikan rekomendasi perbaikan postur kerja. Penelitian dilakukan dengan observasi langsung dan pengisian kuesioner Nordic Body Map (NBM) terhadap tenaga kerja bagian pencucian, pengeringan, dan penyetrikaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar pekerja mengalami keluhan pada leher, punggung, pinggang dan pergelangan tangan. Berdasarkan analisis REBA, beberapa aktivitas kerja tergolong dalam kategori risiko sedang hingga tinggi, sehingga diperlukan tindakan perbaikan segera. Rekomendasi perbaikan meliputi penyesuaian posisi kerja, penyediaan alat bantu, dan pelatihan postur kerja yang benar untuk meningkatkan kenyamanan dan produktivitas tenaga kerja.

Abstract

 The increasing demand for laundry services has led to higher work demands on employees in this industry, particularly at PT. Laundry Box Branch 57. Work activities involving standing, bending, and repetitive lifting can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study aims to analyze the level of ergonomic risk experienced by workers using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method and to provide recommendations for improving working postures. The research was conducted through direct observation and the use of the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire for employees in the washing, drying, and ironing sections. The results showed that most workers experienced complaints in the neck, back, waist, and wrists. Based on the REBA analysis, several work activities were classified as moderate to high risk, requiring immediate corrective actions. Recommendations include adjusting working postures, providing assistive tools, and training workers in proper posture techniques to improve comfort and productivity.
