Relationship between Heat Pressure and Age with Work Fatigue among Workers at Department Factory I of Pt. Maruki International, Makassar in 2017

PT. Maruki International Indonesia is the only company in Indonesia that exports Butsudan. Production activities are divided into 6 factories. The initial process that has high activity and has high heat pressure sourced from the engine takes place in Factory 1. Hence, this can cause workers to experience fatigue easily. This study aimed to determine the relationship of heat pressure and age with work fatigue experienced by Factory 1 workers at PT. Maruki International Indonesia Makassar City. The type of research is observational analytic with a cross sectional study approach. Data collection from 48 workers took place from April 10 to April 15, 2017. The work fatigue measurement technique used the Reaction timer tool, heat pressure using Heat Stress Monitor equipment, and age through direct interview. Data analyses were done using Chi-square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between heat pressure p = 0.014 (p <0.05) and age p = 0.026 (p <0.05 with work fatigue at factory I workers of PT. Maruki International Indonesia.
