Abstract

The women workers usually work more than 8 hours a day and are in static condition, especially in the parking lot. Such conditions give rise to (a) fatigue accumulation, (b) musculoskeletal disorders, (c) increased workload, and (d) decreased work productivity. The study used the same subject design (treatment by subject design) involving 8 workers. In this case, will be compared the average score of workload and musculoskeletal disorders between before and after treatment. The data analysis used is paired t-test with 5% significance level. Some of the findings in this study are: (1) physical work environment in the comfort category based on acclimatization of Indonesian people; (2) the attitude of the parking officer is relatively natural, since they are using an ergonomic work station in terms of the suitability between the work table and the height of the worker's elbow and the seat is already referred to the popliteal height; (3) there was a significant decrease of workload between before and after the implementation of active participatory ergonomic break of 3.41% (p <0.05); and (4) there was a significant decrease of musculoskeletal disorder 41,63% (p <0,05).
