Abstract

The workstation design is a important thing that must be studied as it influences the productivity of industry. To obtain safe workstation design study on working posture should be taken into account so that the users will be more safe and productive. This study was carried out to assess working posture of workers while they performing assembly of socket adapter of different workstation design i.e. table height, working position and using jig or not. Rapid Upper Limbs Assessment (RULA) was used as a tool to determine the impact of different workstation design on workers posture. Based on obtained results, the author revealed that workstation design 103 cm (standing with jig) is the safest to the worker. From the conducted study, the author concluded that safe working is directly determined by the design of workstation.
