IDENTIFICATION OF WORK FATIGUE ON KEMPLANG WORKERS

Abstract

Work fatigue is one of the health problems that occur among workers. Work fatigue needs to be considered, prevented, and handled properly because it has a negative impact on the health of workers and can cause death. The results of a study conducted by the Japanese Ministry of Labor on 12,000 companies involving around 16,000 workers in the country who were randomly selected showed that 65% of workers complained of physical fatigue due to routine work, 28% complained of mental fatigue, and about 7% of workers complained of severe stress and felt left. This research was conducted with the aim of increasing the knowledge of the Kemplang workers in Meranjat II Village and identifying the problem of feelings of work fatigue so that we can solve the problem. The measurement of the feeling of work fatigue of Kemplang workers was carried out using KAUPK2 (Questionnaire for measuring feelings of work fatigue) which contained 17 questions about subjective complaints for 14 respondents. The results show that the level of fatigue of the kemplang workers in Meranjat II Village is low. However, there are no workers who fall into the category of fit workers so that workers still need action to overcome work fatigue
