Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are complaints of pain in body parts due to poor posture, repetitive movements, and movements with too large an angle. This study examines operators who work in the administration department in a learning industry in Yogyakarta. This study aims to determine the level of risk that exists in static workers using the LS-CMDQ questionnaire and the ROSA method. The results of the LS-CMDQ questionnaire show that the back has the highest score of 14, and workers experience pain in that area 3–4 times a week. The ROSA method shows a value of 5 for administrative activities, which is very dangerous in the long run. The recommendations are redesigning an ergonomic work chair, adjusting the work position with minimal movement, and tilting the wrist not more than 15°.
