Assessment Risk Ergonomic in Painting Industry using Ergo-FMEA: Assessment Risk Ergonomic in Painting Industry using Ergo-FMEA

Generally, painting activity in industry is divided into 5 main processes namely cleaning, drying, painting, coating, and final process of drying. These activities are mainly implemented manually which bring high posture risk for the operators. This research is aimed to analyze ergonomic risk in painting industry by utilizing Ergo-FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) methodology. Research stage is commenced by starting with job analysis, identification, ergonomic risk valuation and analysis, and improvement design to minimize risk. Risks are identified based on six risk categories namely horizontal distance, vertical distance, position, movement, environment, and performance. Identification results revealed 14 risks of work posture faced by operators. Activities that produce the highest risk are manual product moving and manual product lifting. These risks often lead to muscle pain, twisted joints, and back injury. The proposed improvements to minimize these risks are wire cart work facility design, workplace layout process costing improvement, and SOP of safe manual product lifting. This improvement proposal is expected to minimize the risk of posture on painting operators.
