Abstract:

This research discussed about risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) on logistic distribution workers in warehouse of PT X Surabaya. MSDs are tissue damage on skeletal muscle parts (joint, ligament and tendon_) caused by body receiving static load or working on awkward posture repeatedly in long term. This research was semi quantitative descriptive analytic research with cross sectional study design. Working posture used REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) method, MSD complaint used Nordic Body Map and working load used Calorimeter Heart Rate Watch. Research result showed that home theater system experienced the highest MSDs complaint. Furthermore statistical test used Spearman and Pearson correlation which found that variable related to musculoskeletal complaint is lifting load. P value (0,044<0,05), frequency of Pvalue (0,045<0,05), working duration of Pvalue (0,013<0,05), and sleeping time of Pvalue (0,030<0,05) on logistic distribution workers in warehouse of PT X Surabaya. Research result concluded that risk level of MSDs incidence on logistic distribution workers were high, caused by awkward posture, duration, frequency and repetition in working.
