Problems that are often encountered in the workplace, especially those associated with obstacles in carrying out their work is a complaint of Repetitive Strain Injuries. Most problems frequently encountered in this workplace are associated with fatigue in carrying out their work. During the production process, the whole employees use their upper body. Results of questionnaire to workers using the method Nordic body map indicated that the complaints of pain in the left right upper arm are 93%, 93% of the right and left forearm, 93% for the left right wrist, 84% for the left right shoulder. This research uses the OCRA (Occupational Repetitive Action) method. The OCRA method is a quantitative method for the workings used in specific repetitive work. The results of this study are the types of jobs that are at high risk of recurrent strain injury, determining the major use of behavioural repetitive action behaviour (OCRA) and addressing work issues that may cause disturbance of repetitive strain injuries.
