Abstract

The physical environment of a ship is often found to be below the government’s standard, which affects employees’ health and causes work fatigue. The present study aimed to identify the physical environment and work fatigue in the ship engine room at Manado Port by applying a cross-sectional analytical approach. The study population was forty-one engine room crew of seven ships with Manado-Talaud Archipelago routes with 7-16 hours trip. The research instrument includes a hygrometer, sound level meter, vibration meter, and work fatigue questionnaire (KAUP2). The data were analyzed descriptively and by performing a correlation test. The study found that the ships’ temperature, noise, and vibration exceeded the stipulated threshold limit value. The relationship between the physical environment and work fatigue was also noticed.
