Abstract

Musculoskeletal system is the organ system that gives people the ability to move muscles and skeleton system. In this body system, diseases and disorders that can affect the function and effectiveness of the system. Work related musculoskeletal disorders occur when there is a mismatch between the physical requirements of the job and the physical capacity of the human body. This study purpose to identify the awkward posture where occur during cable jointing. The method will be observed during cable jointing also some survey and rating of perceived by worker to identify how heavy and strenuous the working feels, combining all sensations and feelings of physical stress, effort, and fatigue. All data taken will be analysis by The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment, RULA. RULA is a screening tool that assesses biomechanical and postural loading on the body with particular attention to the neck, trunk, and upper limbs. A RULA assessment requires little time to complete and the scoring generates an action list, which indicates the level of intervention required to reduce the risks of injury due to physical loading on the operator or worker. Finally the result will be discussed to achieve the objective and also propose an ergonomics improvement for the cable jointing task
