Introduction: Work accidents can occur due to two factors, namely unsafe human behavior and unsafe environmental conditions. One of the unsafe human behavior is work fatigue. In addition, work fatigue can also reduce productivity so that it can have a bad impact on the company. This study aims to determine the strength of the relationship and the direction of the correlation between nutritional status and work postures with work fatigue on crane operators. Method: This research is included in the type of descriptive observational research with a cross-sectional approach. The sample of this study was taken using total sampling, namely all the population of 30 people. The independent variables in this study were nutritional status and body postures, while the dependent variable was work fatigue. The data were analyzed using the Spearman's correlation coefficient (Spearman rank's correlation coefficient) to see the value of the correlation coefficient. Results: The correlation coefficient between nutritional status and work fatigue was -0.169, which means there was a very weak relationship with a negative direction. Meanwhile, the strength of the relationship between work postures and work fatigue can be seen in the correlation coefficient of 0.671, which means there was a strong relationship with a positive direction. Conclusion: Workers with overweight and obese nutritional status wwere more relaxed at work and did not pursue daily targets so that the fatigue experienced was classified as moderate. In addition, poor work postures can cause severe work fatigue.

“…Budidaya rumput laut akhir-akhir ini menjadi mata pencaharian utama petani di daerah pesisir khususnya di Kabupaten Takalar, Sulawesi Selatan (Thamrin, 2020). Bekerja sebagai petani memiliki risiko untuk mengindap penyakit dermatitis (Dwiyanti, 2017).…”

Dermatitis is a skin disorder that usually causes itching and is characterized objectively by patches, rashes or inflammation. Symptoms that are often felt include redness of the skin that occurs due to loading on the blood vessels, can cause swelling/bruising due to fluid buildup in the tissue, thickening of the skin and scratching. The factors that cause contact dermatitis are generally divided into two groups, namely direct and indirect factors. Direct factors include solubility properties, substances, formulas (solid, gas, and liquid), concentration factors and contact time, while indirect factors include age, gender, personal hygiene, race, temperature, humidity and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This study aims to determine the relationship between personal hygiene and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) with the incidence of contact dermatitis. The type of research used is cross sectional using a descriptive approach. Based on the results of the analysis test that has been carried out using the chi-square test, the results show that there is a relationship between personal hygiene (0.022) and the use of PPE (0.014) with the incidence of contact dermatitis. It is recommended that workers are expected to increase awareness in preventing occupational diseases, one of which is by paying more attention to personal hygiene and compliance in using preventing occupational diseases.

“…In the articles, most of the work is still manual, so many studies look at the physical aspects felt by workers related to their work, only a few researchers have approached in terms of machines or tools, such as the research of (Santosa & Yusuf, 2017) who made a hybrid solar dryer machine to produce lunkhead to improve working conditions and product quality, (Susana, 2018) fish dryer manufacture, and (Accorsi et al, 2019) research which creates robots that result in reduced ergonomic loads. The focus area on health risk analysis was carried out by the research of (Yen Siong et al, 2018); (Trianasari et al, 2019); (Thamrin et al, 2020); (Lourenço et al, 2019); (Markkanen et al, 2021); (Ramadhan et al, 2019); (Ghorbanpour et al, 2019).…”

In the era of sustainable development, humans are a system because of their role in development. The food industry is growing fast at this time, and it is important for the sustainability of a country, while the human factor and ergonomics will provide benefits if applied. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a literature study. This study aims to provide a better understanding and research opportunities on human factors and ergonomics in the food industry. This review literature search was carried out using Publish and Perish based on the Google Scholar database with the search year 2015-2022, then checking the journals one by one. There were twenty-seven articles discussing human factors and ergonomics in the food industry. Based on the year of research, research on human factors and ergonomics began in 2017 and has increased every year until 2019. RULA, SNQ, and REBA are the ergonomics data analysis techniques most widely used by researchers, and Elsevier became the publisher most used. The focus of the research area is large on improving ergonomics. The discussion of human factors and ergonomics can be implemented in various sectors, including the food industry, the integration of human factors with other fields is also worth considering.
