Manual handling, RWL, MSDs, IMTAbstract
Manual handling is still commonly performed across all occupational sectors, particularly by workers in production and warehouse roles. This situation indicates that warehouse workers face a relatively high physical workload due to manual handling activities, which can potentially lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study aims to analyze the relationship between workload in manual handling activities and MSD complaints using the recommended weight limit (RWL) method at Warehouse AB. This study employs a cross-sectional design and total sampling, with a population of 29 workers in the goods lifting and transport section at Warehouse AB. The independent variables examined in this study included workload, age, and body mass index (BMI). The dependent variable in this study was MSD complaints. This study was conducted through observation, measurement, and interviews. The measurement results will be analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27 software with Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results of the correlation test indicate that there is no association between workload, age, and BMI in manual handling activities and MSD complaints. Relevant parties are encouraged to implement the use of back supports and carts as a form of early prevention against MSD complaints.
