Working facilities may influence worker’s working posture. CV.Tani Organik Merapi (CV.TOM) is an organic vegetables company. The company provides ”dingklik” (footstool) for working. While working with “footstool”, workers must bend their legs with high bend degrees as well as their back. This poor working posture is caused by bad working facilities. It’s important to check the working posture to know whether the improvement of working facilities is needed or not. Ovako Working Analysis System (OWAS) was used to check the badness level of working posture in every CV.TOM’s working activities. It’s identified that packaging section has the worst working posture. Then it was decided to provide a new working facility to improve working posture in packaging section. CATIA V5 was used to design the new working facility. Three ergonomics tools were used to compare footstool” working posture with the new working facility. Those tools are Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), Manual Task Risk Assessment (ManTRA), and Rodgers Muscle Fatigue Analysis (RMFA). It was found that the new working facility can substitute “dingklik” with lower posture score and safer.
