Penelitian ini bertujuan menilai postur kerja pada bagian pemeriksaan akhir PT ABC,
perusahaan manufaktur sarung yang melaksanakan pemeriksaan secara manual sebelum
pengemasan. Data diperoleh melalui observasi dan dokumentasi foto ketika pekerja
menjalankan aktivitasnya. Sudut dan kondisi segmen tubuh dinilai menggunakan Rapid
Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), meliputi kelompok lengan dan pergelangan tangan serta
kelompok leher, batang tubuh, dan kaki. Penilaian juga mempertimbangkan penggunaan
otot dan beban kerja. Skor komponen yang dilaporkan adalah lengan atas 2, lengan bawah
2, pergelangan tangan 2, putaran pergelangan tangan 2, leher 3, batang tubuh 2, dan kaki 1.
Kedua kelompok memperoleh skor postur dasar 3, tambahan penggunaan otot statis 1, dan
tambahan beban 0, sehingga masing-masing menghasilkan skor 4. Penggabungan kedua
kelompok menghasilkan skor akhir RULA 4 atau tingkat tindakan 2. Hasil tersebut
menunjukkan perlunya investigasi lebih lanjut dan kemungkinan perubahan postur atau
stasiun kerja. Penyesuaian media kerja dan tata letak merupakan arah perbaikan yang perlu
dievaluasi pada kondisi kerja aktual; efektivitasnya belum diuji dalam penelitian ini.
