Ergonomic Analysis of Physical Workload on Work Accidents and Increased Work Productivity

This paper analyzes ergonomics and physical workload that is not excessive to avoid work accidents and increase work productivity. This is to find out the layout in working ergonomically which has an impact on reducing work accidents, so that labor productivity will increase. This writing, data collection from various research results as literature. Then, analysis and discussion were carried out. Therefore this scientific work uses descriptive analysis. Conclusion: 1) The design of an ergonomic approach to overcome excessive workload, namely: creating a layout with a short work flow, and work equipment that is adapted to the user's anthropometry. This musculoskeletal complaints, fatigue, workload, risk of injury/accident will decrease, and productivity will increase. 2) Workload will not increase if work is adjusted to threshold values, tools adjusted to employee anthropometry, appropriate work positions, and sensory sensitivity. With an excessive workload will avoid accidents. Suggestion: It is better if the company arranges the factory with an ergonomic approach, namely: the layout of the production process is close (short distance), the equipment is adjusted to employee anthropometry, works according to the threshold value in the environment, a physiological work position, and employees who have sensitive senses.
