Abstract

Subur Cracker Factory is an MSME that produces crackers. Observations show four factors that affect the work system: environment, tools/technology, task, and organization. The average production room temperature is 32.7℃ which is above the 30℃ standard, machinery/equipment has risks that can be causing burns and scratches to workers, uncomfortable work postures that cause aches, and disorganized and unfocused workers. This study aims to improve the work system using the Macroergonomic Analysis and Design (MEAD) method to reduce the risk of injury at the Subur Cracker Factory. The research found three key variances in the work system: workers feeling aches, uncomfortable work postures, and dehydrated workers. The procurement of the work tool reduced muscle complaints with a decrease in the Nordic Map (NBM) score of 5.833. Work tool also improved work postures with a decrease in REBA score 9 (before improvement) to REBA score 3 (after improvement) for work posture I and work posture II and REBA score 10 (before improvement) to REBA score 3 (after improvement) for work posture III. The risk of burns and scratches arising from work activities is minimized by using PPE gloves. Workers can also cope with the hot room temperature that causes mild-moderate dehydration by drinking a glass of water regularly. Occupational health and safety displays increase the success of implementation.
