Abstract

This research is in farm manufacturing. The manufacturing is less aspect health and occupational safety (K3) for each worker, especially in the boiler workers. Element works at the boiler station the disposal of burning done manually and repeatedly. Activity manual work done this repeating if done in long period of time, will cause injured 'musculoskeletal' which led to declines in productivity company. It needs to be an assessment of posture work at the station boiler so as not to cause risk injured. The method used to assess the relative posture work is the method quick exposure check (QEC). QEC is a method of assessment using a questionnaire as an instrument to analyze posture work perceived workers for does its work. The research results show that the score exposure from workers at the station boiler high, so that need to be taken of action investigation and improved soon as soon as possible. The score exposure workers Operator 1 is 67,04 % , workers Operator 2 is 69,31 % and Operator 3 is 64,77 %
