Abstract

The problem of unbalanced physical and mental workload on milling station operators at Sinumbra Tea Factory PTPN I Regional II can significantly impact worker health and company productivity. This study comprehensively examines physical workload using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method and mental workload with the NASA-Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) to identify ergonomic risks and recommend improvement solutions. The results of the analysis showed that the operator's work posture produced a RULA score of 6, indicating a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders, mainly caused by the position of the upper arm (98.3°), wrist (27.3°), and hunched back (21.8°). Meanwhile, NASA-TLX measurements produced a score of 55.3 (moderate category), with Physical Demand (80) and Temporal Demand (70) as dominant factors. There is equality between work needs and worker capacity, so comprehensive ergonomic interventions are needed, including workstation redesign, adjustment of working hours, posture training, and implementation of assistive devices.
