The tofu processing process at the tofu factory is the majority still using the manual method. Workers sometimes feel tired when carrying out their work activities, if they  forced to work continuously then fatigue will increase or they can be at risk of injury and later, it will have a bad impact on the workers.

In addition, interviews were also conducted with workers regarding age, length of work, smoking habits of workers, and injuries experienced by workers. The purpose of this study was to identify musculoskeletal complaints in workers.
