Abstract

Optimal performance and high productivity of human resources are significant aspects that a company wants to achieve continuously. PT. Bali Bangunan Konstruksi is a construction services industry engaged in the implementation of Villa buildings. One of the obstacles experienced is illness and accidents resulting from work-related illnesses, as well as suboptimal worker performance in their jobs. This is because the construction work process still relies on manual tools, which can pose a risk of muscle injury to workers under such conditions. Referring to this problem, an analysis was conducted on workers at the concrete work station using the Nordic Body Map method. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of ergonomic risk in construction workers. Work with a standing or bending work posture is carried out for a long working time duration of eight hours per day or even exceeding the specified time, so that this condition can cause complaints of pain and even muscle injuries to workers. This study employs a random sampling technique, resulting in a sample of 25 workers. The object selection technique used in this study is purposive sampling. The research method employs a literature study, incorporating a Nordic Body Map questionnaire that identifies points of body parts frequently reported to experience pain by workers at PT. Bali Bangunan Konstruksi. Based on the results of the study of ergonomic risk due to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), it shows that the most complaints of pain are the left calf 60% and the right calf 70%.
