Abstract

Fatigue affects a person's physical capacity, mental, and emotional level, which can lead to a lack of alertness, which is characterized by decreased reaction to something and reduced motor skills. Tired workers tend to have weak attitudes and motivation to work. This situation increases the risk of accidents at work. Fatigue is unique because for the same load the level of fatigue can be different, and anthropometry is also unique because each human individual has a different combination of body sizes. So that analyzing the relationship between these two unique variables is very interesting and becomes a problem that is revealed in this study. Fatigue is divided into mental fatigue and physical fatigue [5]. Mental fatigue was measured using the Nordic Body Map and REBA, where the Nordic Body Map was taken at the time of the static anthropometric position and REBA at the time of the dynamic anthropometric position. While physical fatigue can be observed through the physical condition of workers, namely blood pressure and pulse. The sample consists of 40 welding workers with the same level of education and age. The results of the study: (1) in general, body anthropometry has a significant effect on both physical and mental fatigue; (2) body static anthropometry has a significant effect on workers’ mental physical fatigue, (3) body static anthropometry has no significant effect on physical fatigue in terms of workers’ blood pressure, (4) body static anthropometry has a significant effect on physical fatigue in terms of the worker's pulse, ( 5) body dynamic anthropometry has a significant effect on physical fatigue in terms of workers’ feelings, (6) body dynamic anthropometry has a significant effect on physical fatigue in terms of blood pressure of welding workers, and (7) body dynamic anthropometry has no significant effect on physical fatigue in terms of pulse workers. Suggestions that there is a need for further research with a review of fatigue from different aspects such as biomedicine, body weight and so on.
