Abstract: | This project is discussed about the ergonomics improvement in the computer laboratory CATIA. Ergonomics is a design of equipment that fits human. This includes equipment, furniture, environmental and others. Based on the survey of 100 respondents, some ergonomics problems have been detected. Analysis of the problems is done using the RULA method which the result stated that further investigation is needed and changes may be required. This results shows that the lack of ergonomics in the lab is medium and moderate but the improvements still need to be done for comforts and to avoid ergonomic health problems in the long term. Chairs and tables that been measured are still in the size range of the recommended standard. From the survey also found that most of the respondents have problem with equipment compared with other factors, but still in low and medium state. Some suggestions for the improvement are proposed. for example for the chair, need to change the backrest and add armrest. New design for chair and table has been proposed by using the anthropometric data on UniMAP’s students. |
