Abstract

Working posture or work attitude is the working position is naturally formed by the body of workers due to the facilities used to interact with or work habits. Unsuitable working attitude can cause physical complaints such as pain in the muscles (Musculoskeletal Complain). Brick-making factories were encountered in the Village of Sail. This research is a field where once obtained the data needed and then do the processing of the data from the mapping process operations, risk evaluation work experienced by workers by using OCRA Checklist, calculate the value OCRA index, focus group discussions problems faced by workers, design repair work method proposed, calculates the data anthropometry workers, prototyping proposed workstation moulding bricks and evaluate the results of the optimization workstation moulding bricks. After all, factors rated the results of activities scored bricks have totalled a score of 23.19 for the body of the left and amounted to 25.13 to the right part of the body. This value is high because the number of ATA and RTA are very much different. If the number of recommended actions (RTA) is smaller than the number of actual action (ATA) then there is a risk assessment of musculoskeletal disorders.
