The application of the revised NIOSH lifting equation and REBA method in manual work evaluation (a case study at PT. Caladi Lima Sembilan, Bandung)

Manual lifting is one of manual material handling (MMH) activities that requires serious
attention because the physical pressure of this particular work will affect the workers’ health
condition. The workers may suffer from work-related musculoskeletal disorders, especially low
back pain injuries.
In its production process, PT. Caladi Lima Sembilan (PT. C59 - a garment factory in
Bandung) still involves manual lifting activities. To prevent worker injury due to this particular
work, manual work evaluation using The Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (NIOSH 1991) and
REBA method is conducted to several lifting activities. NIOSH 1991 is a tool for evaluating the
manual lifting work comprehensively by calculating the recommended weight limit and lifting
index, while REBA method is a tool for evaluating the variations of workers’ physical posture as
they doing their works. REBA method will produce a score for each work, which the greater the
calculated score, the greater risk of the workers’ injury.
The result of evaluation and analysis that have been conducted in several departments
indicates that the present working condition requires improvement actions. Therefore, redesign
suggestions is given to improve the present working conditions. The results are expected to be close
to the ideal working conditions that are suggested by NIOSH 1991 and REBA methods.
