【 摘 要 】

Biomechanics is an important factor in ergonomics. Therefore, in this research will be applied biomechanical calculation. This research is conducted in the manufacturing industry engaged in the processing of oil palm. As for the processing process has several stages. The core of this research is to examine the work done by the operator. Where often occur complaints on the insertion of fresh fruit bunches. Common complaints are fatigue of joints and muscles caused by many activities that occur continuously in the sorting. In this study, biomechanical measurements were made, where the measurements consisted of permitted weight limits, lifting index, and the maximum load limit that may be removed. This is considered important because so far the operators and the industry is not aware of it. They do so unwittingly impose body condition. Causing musculoskeletal disorders and other risks that may occur. Based on the Recommended weight and lose weight measurements of the fresh fruit bunches workers who did not meet the fraction it can be concluded that lifting the fresh fruit bunches that did not meet the fraction contained the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and based on the measurement of maximum permissible limit obtained the AL
