REDUCING THE RISK OF CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS – LOW BACK PAIN AND TINEA PEDIS DISEASE AT LEAK TESTING AREA OF PT. FRS BY DESIGNING TOOLS USING QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT AND ERGONOMIC APPROACH

Abstract

The problem related to Cumulative Trauma Disorders – Low Back pain and Tinea Pedis Disease appears in leak testing area while doing leak testing of AHZ tank. The manual material handling which leak is testing the AHZ tank should be done manually with bending body by the operator. Moreover, the operators have complaint about Low Back pain and Tinea Pedis Disease during the interview session. After analysis by using Anthropometry shows that the body dimension while doing the activity is non-ergonomic posture and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) analysis results 8 REBA scores which means high risk and need to improve because it’s dangerous. An improvement is conducted related to the material handling equipment by using quality function deployment method and product selection. The product is Future leak tester. Future Leak Tester can reduce REBA result become 2 and it became low risk.
