Abstract

Introduction: Work fatigue or fatigue is a kind of body prevention from further damages. The fatigue experienced by a worker resulted in a decrease in work performance and lack of body endurance during the work. The workers of steel smelting companies are one of the examples of workers who potentially experience work fatigue. This research aims to ascertain both the internal and external factors of work fatigue experienced by the workers at Sidoarjo steel smelting company. Methods: This research was conducted at Sidoarjo steel smelting company in May 2018 with a population of 30 people. The internal factors in this research are the age, years of service, and nutritional status of the workers. Meanwhile, the external factors are the physical workload, work climate, and noise. This research is descriptive research with observation as the data collection method and is cross-sectional research design. The sample is calculated by applying the total population sampling technique. The data is presented descriptively in the form of frequency, percentage, and cross-tabulation among variables distributions. Result: It is revealed that the majority of the workers, as many as 17 people, undergo mild work fatigue (56.7%). The results of the cross-tabulation show that moderate and severe fatigues are mostly experienced by the workers with these criteria: younger, shorter years of service, obese, fair physical workload, and work climate and noise that exceed the Threshold Limit Value (TLV). Conclusion: It is affirmed that both the internal and external factors are related to work fatigue. Keywords: external factors, internal factors, steel smelting, work fatigue

Abstract

Introduction: The working activities of the fishermen in Tanjung Village are still considered as traditional works providing the works are done manually with non-ergonomic working postures, such as bending, standing, squatting, and legs bending. Accordingly, these postures trigger the complaints of musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs). Musculoskeletal diseases are diseases in the skeletal muscles, for example, pains, aches, pins and needles, and heat. Working as a fisherman means that one dedicates half of her/his time to catch fish mostly by using traditional boats and equipment. Thus, a lot of fishermen are discovered complaining about pains after completing their work. This research aims to distinguish the relationship among variables. Methods: This research is observational research that applies the cross-sectional design. The research samples as many as 56 fishermen are chosen by implementing the cluster random sampling technique. The data are obtained by completing measurements, interview, and observation by applying the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method and by distributing the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaires. Results: As many as 73.2% of the fishermen have a high risk of musculoskeletal diseases and 46.4% have been working in high-risk working postures. Conclusion: The working postures have a weak relationship (r=0.407) with the complaints of musculoskeletal diseases. Keywords: fishermen, complaints of musculoskeletal diseases, Nordic Body Map, Rapid Entire Body Assessment

Abstract

Introduction: Fatigue is a body protection mechanism that prevents further detriments and can be recovered after having a sufficient amount of rest. The fatigue undergone by workers is one of the causes of occupational accidents. Fatigue can be triggered by several factors, such as physical environments, for instance, temperature and noise. This research aims to analyze the relationships between the temperature as well as the noise and the work fatigue of the workers at the area of ship repair workshop at PT. X Surabaya. Methods: This research is descriptive observational research that employs the cross-sectional design. The sample of this research, the total population, consists of 32 people. The data is obtained through the temperature measurement by utilizing hygro-thermometer, the noise intensity measurement by utilizing the sound level meter, and the levels of work fatigue measurement by utilizing reaction timer. Those measurements are completed in two different locations, namely the office and the workshop. The strength of the relationships among variables is scrutinized by applying the spearman correlation test by studying the correlation coefficient value. Results: Show that 14 people (43.8%) do not suffer from any fatigue, 15 people (46.9%) suffer from mild fatigue, 2 people (6.2%) suffer from moderate fatigue, and 1 person (3.1%) suffers from severe fatigue. The fatigue is mostly undergone by the workers exposed to the overheat temperature, that is as many as 18 people (56.2%) and by those who are exposed to noise, which are 15 people (46.9%). Conclusion: There is a moderate relationship between the temperature and the fatigue (p=0.519). Meanwhile, the noise (p=0.688) has a strong relationshipship with the fatigue undergone by the workers at the area of ship repair workshop at PT. X Surabaya. Keywords: noise, ship reparation, temperature, work fatigue
