Abstract

The aim of the research was to analyze the work posture of the workers using
the RULA method. The research was conducted experimentally by applying
the treatment by subject design using 12 samples which were given two
treatments; wok molding workers with the former molding facility (P0), and
wok molding workers with the new molding facility with the ergonomic
intervention (PI). Conclusion of this research is the RULA analysis result on
the work posture of placing the end work on the temporary place (P0) gave a
score of 7. This score shows a high-risk level and needs work posture
improvement immediately. The work on PI showed the RULA score of 3,
which means that there is a decrease from a high risk at a low-risk level. The
average time needed to mold a wok on P0 was 1.46 minutes/unit, and on PI
was 1.23 minutes/unit or down 18.7%. Therefore it recommended for wok
molding worker to use ergonomic work posture (PI)
