Abstract

The condition of the hilly land is an obstacle in the application of modern tools for processing rice fields in remote villages, so that traditional rice processing tools are still used. "Lampit" is one of the traditional means of processing rice fields, which functions to level the land for planting rice. The operation of "lampit" can increase the work pulse up to 50% above the resting pulse and is included in the category of moderate to heavy workloads. At the end of the operation of "lampit", causing various complaints in the musculoskeletal system, especially on the buttocks and back, which is caused by the small and hardness of the "lampit" rod. To overcome this situation, improvements were made to the “lampit” seating design by adding foam pads and adjusting the pressure lever found on the “lampit” stem. This research is an experimental study using the same subject design, selected 30 research subjects from farmers in Dusun Semaja Antosari Tabanan Bali. The workload is evaluated on the basis of the work pulse measured using the ten pulses method. The pulse was measured before and after the improvement of the "lampit" design. The data compared were the mean values before and after improvement, which were analyzed using paired t test (α = 0.05). The result is that there is a significant decrease in the work rate of 19.35% (p <0.05). Thus, it can be concluded that the improved design of the "lampit" can reduce the workload, therefore it is advisable for farmers to continue using and perfecting the improved "lampit".
