Abstract

Work fatigue in workers in companies can trigger work accidents, which can hurt the company’s work and productivity. Work fatigue can easily result in loss of concentration, so fatigue is often the cause of accidents and deaths. Work comfort for workers needs to be prioritized as a culture of health, safety, security, environment, and quality. This study uses a quantitative approach that aims to analyze fatigue through worker human comfort with a pulse rate indicator as a parameter in monitoring the risk of work accidents in wood processing industry workers. The population in this study was 30 heavy equipment operators in the plywood industry with a total sampling technique. Data analysis using SPSS IBM 20. The results of the study showed results of the study showed an average increase in cardiovascular load of 62.73% and peak work fatigue occurred at 11:30 and 15:30 AM. Companies need to pay attention to safety at these risk hours by evaluating the arrangement of rest and production hours.
