Container Loading and Unloading Workers Using the Cardiovascular Load (CVL) and
Defence Research Agency Workload Scale (DRAWS) Method at PT Pelabuhan Indonesia
(Persero)
This study examines the physical workload of stevedoring workers using the
Cardiovascular Load (CVL) method and mental workload using the Defense Research
Agency Workload (DRAWS) method. The objectives of this research were to analyze the
physical workload of stevedoring workers with the CVL method, asses their mental
workload with the DRAWS method, and propose improvements for both types of
workloads. In the study, the CVL percentage for 13 stevedoring workers was classified as
“light”. Indicating no physical burden, as it was below 30%. However, the DRAWS results
revealed that 4 workers fell into the optimal load category, while 9 were categorized as
being overload. The findings suggest the several factors influence the workload on workers,
including overall workload, weather conditions, physical discomfort, equipment
malfunctions, noise levels, lack of work support, and insufficient supervision. Based on
these insights and following the Hierarchy of Control, recommendation include the
installation of an Automatic Weather Station (AWS) to enhance weather monitoring, adding
a backrest chair (Curble Chair) to alleviate physical discomfort experienced by stevedoring
workers, and reassigning task to ensure balanced distribution of roles and responsibilities. | en_US |
