Analisis Gangguan Otot Rangka (GOTRAK) Pada Pekerja Pengemasan Box di Industri Bumbu Masak Menggunakan Instrumen 9011:2021

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most common ergonomic problems in the workplace, caused by poor posture, repetitive movements and long working hours. These conditions have a negative impact on employee health and productivity and increase healthcare costs for companies. This study aims to analyse the potential for GOTRAK complaints among workers in the box packaging process in the food seasoning industry, in accordance with Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 9011:2021. This study was conducted using a quantitative approach with a Musculoskeletal Disorder Questionnaire to assess MSD complaints. Data were collected through field observation, questionnaire completion, and work posture analysis using the methods outlined in SNI 9011:2021. The research variables included work posture, work duration and physical strain of the workers. Interviews revealed alarmingly high ergonomic risk levels, with consistent risk scores of 19 and 20 across multiple body regions. Severe pain was most frequently reported in the shoulders, upper back, lower back, and hips—areas critical for manual tasks—indicating a sustained threat to worker health and productivity. The results of the ergonomic assessment of the upper body in carton packing work gave a score of 38, indicating hazardous conditions that require immediate improvement. In addition, the result of the analysis were used to develop ergonomic-based improvement recommendations to increase safety and comfort in the workplace. The findings offer actionable insights for industries aiming to enhance workplace ergonomics. By identifying high-risk zones and providing targeted recommendations, this study contributes to the creation of safer work environments, reduces operational losses, and strengthens long-term workplace sustainability—particularly in labor-intensive sectors like food manufacturing.
