【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this research is to assess work risk caused by non-ergonomic of both facility layout and workplace at some Small Scale Medium Enterprises (SMEs) at nagari Batu Taba, sub-district IV Angkek, West Sumatera. The research samples are traditional food industrial and convection. The research participants are those who have been worked for more than ten years. Amongst the grievances experienced by the worker are tiredness and musculoskeletal disorders. This evaluation adopts the ergonomic facility layout and workplace through using Workplace Ergonomic Risk Assessment (WERA). The assessment result by implementing WERA shows that the worker does experience risk with final score 30 at medium level, as for the worker who cut the clothes pattern is at high level, 45. Task is not accepted and immediately changes. It means that some recommendations to improve the workplace are of vital importance. The ergonomic design introduced in this research has potential to reduce the risk at some small scale industrial at nagari Batu Taba, sub-district IV Angkek.
