Then an analysis was carried out using the RULA and OWAS methods, this method is a method for disseminating and disseminating worker attitudes that can cause musculoskeletal disorders. The research results showed that the RULA method obtained a score of 5 with a risk level of 3, which means that corrective action needs to be taken immediately, while the OWAS score was 3 with a risk level of 2, which means that corrective action can be taken at a later date.
