Antropometry Analysisi Of Stove Cooking Tofu Production On the Employee’s Safety And Convenience

Abstract

Ergonomics approach to vehicle design is emphasized on researching the limited capabilities of humans, both physically and mentally psychologically and their interactions in an integral human-machine system. Then systematically the ergonomics approach will then utilize this information for design purposes, so as to create a product system or work environment that is more suitable for humans. Objectives of the Research; Knowing the anthropometry of workers and the furnace knows the process of boiling tofu; determine the suitability of the anthropometry of workers with the tofu boiling process furnace; knowing the level of complaints felt by workers during the tofu boiling process. This study uses quantitative methods, with a descriptive analysis approach to the dimensions of the tofu boiling stove on the anthropometry of the workers' bodies.
