“…Logistic regression analysis is used to investigate relationships between risk factors. Coelho et al (2014) apply the OSHA checklist to identify occupational risk factors in the production line considering a real case study. Kremer et al (2009) propose a risk assessment methodology for the university research laboratory.…”

Many governments decided to cancel face‐to‐face teaching and learning activities in schools and universities. They replaced them with online teaching and distance learning activities to prevent the spread of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Due to this sudden change, students experienced some anthropometric, environmental, and psychosocial difficulties at home during the distance learning process. This study focuses on determining the importance of anthropometric, environmental, and psychosocial factors in the distance learning process during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study presents main factors and their subfactors affecting ergonomic conditions of university students during distance learning. A novel distance learning ergonomics checklist is proposed based on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration checklists. The data are collected via a questionnaire filled by 100 university students who attend the Ergonomics course online. Then, the integrated methodology includes Voting Analytic Hierarchy Process integrated Pythagorean Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to An Ideal Solution method is adopted to prioritize the factors determined. Thirty‐nine different subfactors are evaluated under five titles, and the most important factors are determined using the proposed methodology. With the results achieved, it is seen that the suggested checklist and proposed methodology can be used by public and private education organizations as a guide for improving their distance learning strategies.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peningkatan efisiensi proses transformasi material melalui evaluasi pengembangan stasiun kerja proses produksi paper pallet di PT xxx. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tiga tahap, yaitu; 1) melakukan observasi terhadap postur tubuh pada operator cutting maupun grooving hasilnya diukur melalui simulasi pada Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) dengan indikasi bahwa operator dalam kondisi High Risk untuk terkena Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), 2) simulasi menggunakan software Mannequin Pro diketahui beban torsi pada masing-masing operator mesin cutting dan groove relatif tinggi yaitu sebesar 8 Nm dan 36 Nm, dan 3) melakukan redesain stasiun kerja dengan dimensi tinggi mesin menjadi 89 cm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perancangan baru memberi peningkatan efisiensi pada waktu kerja pembuatan pallet sebesar 4.6 menit/pallet, penurunan pada skor RULA di masing- masing tubuh operator mesin cutting maupun mesin groove pada skor low Risk berarti operator terbebas dari resiko Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), uji Sofware mannequin pro didapat beban torsi masing masing operator sebesar 2 Nm. Signifikansi hasil penelitian ini adalah perancangan stasiun kerja baru dapat menurunkan potensi terjadinya Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), beban torsi operator dapat meningkatkan waktu pembuatan paper pallet sebesar 96%.

The objective of this study was to reveal RULA method applications in terms of the knowledge, country, year and journal categories. The search was performed using the “Web of Science Core Collection”. The period from 1993 to April 2019 was selected. Eight hundred nine results were obtained, of which 226 were used. The largest number of publications was determined to be in the fields of industry and health and social assistance, which coincides with the OWAS and Standardized Nordic Questionnaire methods. By country, the USA stands out for its greater number of research studies and categories that are encompassed. By date, 2016 was the year when more studies were carried out, again coinciding with the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire. By journal, “Work—A Journal of Prevention Assessment and Rehabilitation” is highlighted, as it is for the REBA method as well. It was concluded that RULA can be applied to workers in different fields, usually in combination with other methods, while technological advancement provides benefits for its application.
