“…According to research conducted by Sholihah et al (2016), providing knowledge of ergonomic concepts can reduce the number of complaints regarding MSD. 17 In the field of dentistry, understanding the concept of ergonomics and its application is very important in preventing MSD and the occurrence of early retirement, 4 thereby improving overall quality of life. 18 The REBA evaluation results support the conclusion that, from an ergonomic perspective, students who extracted posterior maxillary teeth at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic of Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital ran a high risk of MSD, especially when using elevators.…”

Background: The professional activity of dentists involves a relatively small treatment area, namely; the oral cavity. Dental treatment requires a high level of precision with the result that dentists frequently perform their duties in a physically uncomfortable position over a relatively extended period of time. Tooth extraction is the most common form of treatment performed in a standing position, with extraction of the posterior maxillary tooth being the most challenging. 80 per cent of students and dentists working in the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Indonesia present musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Purpose: To evaluate the level of MSD risk of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic students at the Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital following posterior maxillary tooth extraction. Methods: The evaluation of MSD risk level was performed over a period of three months on 73 subjects who had experienced posterior maxillary tooth extraction, categorized as extraction under anaesthesia, extraction involving the use of an elevator and extraction using forceps. Evaluation was conducted by two observers by means of CCTV video footage using a Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) worksheet. Results: Under anaesthetic sedation, 67.12% experienced medium risk, 31.51% high risk, and 1.37% low risk. During extraction using an elevator, 58.90% experienced high risk, 35.62% medium risk and 5.48% extremely high risk. During extraction using forceps, 57.53% ran medium risk, 39.73% high risk, and 2.74% extremely high risk. Conclusion: Students who performed posterior maxillary tooth extraction could be categorized as running a high risk of MSD during extraction using an elevator, but medium risk when administering anaesthesia and performing extraction with forceps.

Firefighter are constantly at risk since they are directly exposed to various physical factors, harmful chemicals and mental stress during rescue and fire-fighting. In fire extinguishing, unstable posture is one of the possible hazardous factors and contribute to high ergonomic risk factor. Due to manual handling and lack of proper standard operation procedure, firefighter are at risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders problem such as awkward postures. This paper identify ergonomics risk factor that may cause harm to firefighter during rolling of fire hose. This study was conducted in Pagoh fire station. In order to achieve those aims, observational method was used by applying Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA).The Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method is used by calculating the severity, occurrence and failure detection which has rating score from one (1) to ten (10). Then, the risk priority number (RPN) was calculated to get the highest priority number which led to identification of ergonomic risk factor. A set of questionnaire was distributed to 20 firefighter located at Pagoh fire station for analyzing the ergonomic risk factor and compared to the FMEA result. The result of the analysis shows 56% of the respondent experienced awkward posture during handling of fire hose. The result of the questionnaire was compared to the highest RPN value from FMEA to obtain the solution on ergonomic workplace improvement at Pagoh fire station. In addition, a new tool that is expected to improve the ergonomic and manual handling of firefighter was proposed.

“…Muskuloskeletal disorders (MSDs) gangguan muskuloskeletal adalah kondisi bahwa otot menderita beban dari kegiatan statis dan berulang yang terjadi berturutturut selama periode yang cukup lama yang menyebabkan keluhan kerusakan pada sendi, ligamen dan tendon. Hal ini disebabkan oleh postur kerja yang tidak alami seperti karakteristik tuntutan tugas, alat-alat kerja dan stasiun kerja yang tidak sesuai dengan kemampuan dan melampaui keterbatasan pekerja dalam bekerja (Sholihah et al, 2015).…”

Uncomfortable work postures will cause ergonomic problems such as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) so that workers feel uncomfortable and work becomes risky and unproductive. This study aims to 1) analyze MSDs complaints of workers at the Green Tea Plant; 2) analyze work posture in green tea processing which has the highest complaints of MSDs; 3) analyze the relationship of individual worker characteristics and MSDs complaints. This study uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. This research was conducted at the PPTK Gambung Green Tea Factory. Data collection was carried out by observation and interview techniques using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire. Data analysis includes 1) analysis of work posture using the OWAS and RULA methods, and 2) analysis of the correlation with Rank Spearman correlation. The results showed that 1) the highest MSDs complaints occurred at packing stations, 2) from the OWAS and RULA analysis, the work posture that had a very high risk level and needed immediate repairs was the position when putting tea in sacks, leveling tea in sacks, raising sacks to top of the trolly, push the trolly, pull the trolly, lift the sack from the top of the trolly and put the sack on the lowest and top arrangement; 3) there is a relationship between the working period with the type of work, and between the length effective work time with complaints MSDs.
