Abstract

At PT. X, there is a manual material handling activity with a total load of 23 kg, namely taking water treatment analysis samples. Workers often complain of pain in their arms and backs as a result of these activities, and the load carried is considered quite heavy. This is the background of this research. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the recommended load weight and the risk of spinal injury in these activities so that workers can work more effectively and efficiently. In completing this study, the methods used were the Recommended Weight Limit (RWL) and Lifting Index (Li) methods. These methods were used because they were assessed in accordance with the research objectives. From the results of this study, it is known that the recommended load weight is 8 kg and the Li > value is 1, which means that the activity has a risk of spinal injury.
