In this case of the small scale garment industry in DKI Jakarta, the workers spend relatively long time in the work station in a sitting position. The sitting position is very important to maintain the convenience of working garment industry workers, then this study aims to evaluate the compatibality of the sitting work station’s facilities related to the anthropometric dimensions (body dimensions) garment industry workers. The results of this survey revealed that there is a mismatch between the body dimensions with the facilities. Therefore the design of the new facilities (table and chair) that match to the anthropometric dimensions of the garment industry workers can be proposed. |
