Work Posture Analysis of Central Control Room (CCR) Operators at PT. X Indonesia

Abstract

PT. X is one of the leading cement production companies in Indonesia. Machinery and production equipment at PT. X is operated by field operators and Central Control Room (CCR) operators. The Central Control Room (CCR) operator is assigned to control the machine from a distance through a computer monitor. The Central Control Room (CCR) operators at PT. X work in a sitting position and stare at the screen for 8 hours per day. The purpose of this study is to analyse the working posture of the Central Control Room (CCR) operators in Kiln sections at PT. X Indonesia by using Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method. This study is an observational research with cross-sectional design since it is done at one time and without any treatment to the respondent. If it is viewed from how it is analysed, this study is a descriptive research. The population of this study consists of 20 Central Control Room (CCR) operators in Kiln sections at PT. X. Meanwhile, the sample of this study is the total number of population. The results of work posture with REBA method in this study show that the Central Control Room (CCR) operators who have work posture with a high risk are 5 5 %, the medium risk are 3 5 %, and low risk are 15 %.  The work posture of the Central Control Room (CCR) operators that have medium to high risk of musculoskeletal disorders are workers with a sitting work posture, a bent back, as well as their legs that do not support their body perfectly. Hence, a change is urgently needed to minimize the Occupational Accident and Occupational Disease .
