Abstract
At the Fish Auction Place (TPI) of Sadeng Beach, Gunung Kidul, fish are manually transferred using wooden bearers and pieces of plastic drums used as fish containers. The weight of the fish moved ranged from 90 - 110 kg for each transfer. The transfer of fish carried out on the shoulders of two workers who have different heights and ages. The worker's posture is characterized by flexion, inclination, and torsion. The Nordic Body Map (NBM) survey revealed reports of stiffness and pain in the shoulders, lower back, and knees. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential risk of injury in the process of transferring fish. The evaluation uses the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) technique. The findings indicated that both workers activities fell into the high-risk category, with the REBA score of 14.00, with a very high risk category.
