Health problems in the operator's posture while working have a significant impact on the resulting productivity and indirectly affect the efficiency of the work. Improvements in working methods, modification of machines or work aids, rearrangement of machine positions and changes in work behavior that are carried out immediately according to the recommendations of the RULA and RWL analysis results in addition to helping reduce potential disturbances or injuries to the worker's posture and can eliminate the potential risk of muscle injury even can increase productivity and work morale of workers. The RULA method is used to estimate the risk of skeletal muscle disorders. While the RWL method is used to measure the recommended workload for each process of lifting the load.The results of measuring the level of ergonomic risk on complaints of muscle pain (myalgia) in production division workers at CV. Kotama Shoes assembling section got a score of 7 for that posture. Based on this score, the assembling body posture is at level 4, which is very risky, further treatment, needs changes as soon as possible. Recommendations for improvement are given to reduce/resolve workers' problems with complaints of muscle pain (myalgia) in the production section at CV. Kotama Shoes is changing the movement or work posture in the production section of leather shoe processing and the recommended object load for the type of work carried out by employees in the assembling section is a maximum of 15.73 kg with a lifting index of 0,082kg.
