The workers also can get physical injury risk such as Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSDs). To reduce the risk, it is to analyze the work task through risk assessment to observe the posture during using the equipment such as rig up the Pressure Control Equipment (PCE) to determine the level of risk for each task, and the cumulative risk for each work cycle. This study uses the Postural Ergonomic Risk Assessment (PERA) method to analyze and measuring cyclic assembly work. We set the risk criteria for activity classification (A) into posture, duration, and force which divided into three groups (A<4 = Low risk, 4 A 7 = Possible risk, A 7 = High risk). Time duration and stressed posture provide high risk exposure, whereas the workers manually operate and install the component and spare parts can lead to medium and low risk exposures. We found that the high potential risks to cause harm are when the workers operate Tree Adaptor Installation and BOP Installation. Whereas, the Making up Lubricator connection and PCE Secure Line Installation provide medium and low risk exposures, respectively. Our study can be guidance on the steps of prioritization and intervention to reduce the musculoskeletal risks. Keywords: Musculoskeletal disorder; PCE; PERA; Workspace design; Risk analysis.

These key aspects mostly involve usability, efficiency and safety. However, the workers located in the area also can face physical injury risk caused by repetitive process for prolonged periods and unmonitored editor@iaeme.com

2 Ergonomic Analysis of Rig up Wireline Pressure Control Equipment (Pce) in Well Service Activities working posture [1,2]. This leads to ergonomic issues at the workplace. Many scholars have proposed that Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSDs) as the key aspects to be considered when designing an ergonomically work environment [3]. However, there is rare information about how ergonomic designers can help the workers to accommodate them within work environment by reducing risk factors that contribute to ergonomic injuries. Even though there are many ergonomic principles models, however, avoiding awkward postures or excessive effort is difficult to do in mining tasks. This situations result in fatigue and discomfort, which greatly impact health and productivity. Under these conditions muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels can be damaged. Such light injuries are so-called musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) [4]. MSDs give a significant effect reducing productivity and job quality [5] especially in field mining. One of the causes of MSDs is the using of certain high-weight equipment especially the Pressure Control Equipment (PCE) in Wireline Operation. Mostly the equipment needs to use lubricator stack or risers that mounted on the top of wellhead to control the well pressure and fluid when it performed [6]. The high-weight equipment also must be operated by 12- personel-team to handle their stable position as installed stack of Blow Out Preventer (BOP) to Isolate the blowout that present from the well activity [7]. In many situation, the workers operates the equipment have frequently reported their MSDs complaints which lead the Well Service Department (WSD) to take preventive measure. WSD has numerous incidents within January 2016 until December Their report shows that significant increase of total cases reported relating to gesture and posture. In 2016, 761 cases related to gesture and posture have been reported, while in 2017, the number of cases relating to gesture and posture reported increased to1854. From these cases, the medium category of gesture and posture cases is common, with 120 cases reported in From 120 recorded cases, 40 cases are related to Rig up PCE activities, 30 cases related to manual handling or lifting, 25 cases related to making tool connection, 20 cases related to hand and finger injuries, and 5 cases related to using improper tools. The reports have leaded this study to conduct ergonomic risk assessment toward the workers and the usage of the Rig up PCE including the activities with the highest potential for injury. The objective of this research is to identify the risk of gesture posture during Rig up PCE installation process by measuring the injury risk during the work tasks. The outcome of this research also to give recommendation to the company to minimize the risk and prevention of human injury related to wrong implementation of adequate ergonomic concept. This paper consisted five main parts. Part one explains our motivation. part two consisted literature review about the methods of risk analysis or risk assessment regarding ergonomics theories, specifically during the Rig Up activity, equipment installation process and the extent of the risks or their impact on workers, and the safety levels to reduce MSDs risk faced by the workers. The part third explains our methodology. Part fourth provides analysis result and the implementation to be used by workers to avoid the risk of serious injury of MSDs. Finally, in part five we provide conclusion and solutions that improve the design of how the sequence works and the intensity or duration of working time and exposed time during Rig Up installation process. The part five also give recommendation for companies to create Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) based of our study to provide safer work practices that would better avoid risk of injury for the workers editor@iaeme.com

MATERIAL AND METHODES In the installation process of Rig up PCE, there are three type of main spare parts which must be installed correctly which can lead to MSDs. The components of equipment have become main sources of ergonomic risk experienced by workers during the Rig up installation process: a. Ginpole: 12 meters height with Outside Diameter (OD): 8 material S235 (ASTM A36). b. PCE: Consist of Tree Adaptor, BOP and 5 sections of Lubricator x 8 feet /section of OD 4.75 Material SS. c. Lifting gear (Crane) and Lifting applicants (Shackle, Slings, Hook, etc). The materials are illustrated in Figure 1-3 to visualize the kind of materials and their placements. The Ginpole and PCE parts (Tree Adaptor, BOP, and Lubricator) are given in Figure 1. In Figure 2, we provide the detail of working area and material placement. The scope of research is focused on the current workspace and worker position as shown in Figure 3.

4 Ergonomic Analysis of Rig up Wireline Pressure Control Equipment (Pce) in Well Service Activities In the equipment installation, the worker postures which faced with the MSDs risks are trunk, shoulder, head or neck, and elbow. The Rig up PCE consist of several work cycles, which are Tree Adaptor installation, BOP installation, making the lubricator connection and PCE secure lines installation. Each of these work cycles has different durations and tasks. This differentiation in turn affects the type of posture and risk during certain types of work. Therefore, it is important to measure the worker postures such as trunk, shoulders, head or neck, knee, and elbow of a participant during each task for every work cycle involved during the rig up PCE installation process. There are several risk associated during the rig up PCE activity, as below : 1. Body Posture risks. The risks can be caused by the activity when installing the Tree Adaptor since the worker position toward the ginpole location is stand side-by-side. In the installation, the worker must be exposure toward the tree adaptors which requires long duration till hours. The posture risk has four activities as below. a. Opening the Christmas tree cap b. Lifting up tree adaptor by using crane c. Installing tree adaptor d. Tightening the connection 2. Hand activity and lifting work risks. The risks can be caused by the installation process of the Blow Our Preventer (BOP). The BOP installation requires four tasks as below. a. Lifting up BOP by using crane b. Installing BOP connection on top of Tree Adaptor c. Ensuring the connection is tight as per manual procedure d. Making up Lubricator Connection 3. Risks of rotated joint angular deviation from neutral which lead to perceived discomfort. This type of risk can be caused by the worker condition when making the lubricator connection. This type of risks has four tasks as below. a. Installing lifting gear on to Lubricator b. Lifting up the lubricator with crane c. connecting the lubricator end section on the top of BOP section d. Ensuring the connection is tight as per manual procedure 4. Upper limb disorder risks. This type of risks can be caused by material handling when installing the PCE Secure lines which lead to limb disorders. This risk has six types of risk sources as below. a. Wearing full body safety harness b. Attaching the fall arrestor onto the full body safety harness c. Climbing the Ginpole d. Installing the lubricator Secure lines into the Ginpole e. Ensuring the lubricator is secure and the lines is properly attach to the Ginpole f. Descending the Ginpole There are several methods to classify the workplace risk ranging from light to medium category cases. In the Rig up activity, one of the popular approaches to evaluate the ergonomic postural issues and to help workers avoid injuries is the Ovako working Posture analysis (OWAS) which provides a time sampling for body postures and force [8]. Compared editor@iaeme.com

5 Nasuto SMAZ, Jeffri Yudistira, Talitha Gustiyana, and Taufik Roni Sahroni with other methods, OWAS is a relatively simple method to verify safety level which is related to work postures [9] as the most commonly used method. It also contains checklist analysis to evaluate the assessment of legs, trunk and neck for repetitive task. Other methods of working posture analysis are Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA). RULA was created to identify working postures that can lead to risks of Work-related Upper Limp Disorder (ULD) [10,11]. RULA is a categorization method to monitor the body postures and force, with action levels for assessment. In some workplaces, RULA is mostly used to assess workstation risk even though it has not specific risk factors during the set-up process [12]. With increasing rate of work-related Low Back Pain (LBP), many scholars have proposed new methods which so-called NIOSH Lifting Equation. The NIOSH lifting Equation was proposed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and as standardized measurement of posture related to biomechanical load for manual handling [13,14]. However, the method cannot evaluate different body regions. The method are then used in combination with the Plan for Identifying the av Belastnings faktore (PLIBEL) as a checklist with questions for different body regions [15]. In many case, MSDs are caused by repetition of work task which needs to be measured by more accurate methods. Some scholars have debated about the usability of the Strain Index combining the index of six exposure factors for work tasks and the Occupational Repetitive Actions (OCRA) [16]. Both methods similar with Quick Exposure Checklist (QEC) to measure the exposure levels for main body regions with worker responses, and scores to guide intervention [17]. However, OCRA prioritize on the Upper Extremity (UE) as exposure assessment tool used by ergonomics researchers and practitioners globally [16,18]. OCRA also measures body posture and force for repetitive tasks as checklists for task, equipment, environment and individual risk. In addition, OCRA also similar to the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) which categorizing body postures and force, with action levels for assessment [19,20]. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygiene (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLVs), which is a threshold limit values for hand activity and lifting work [21,22]. To classification based on joint angular deviation from neutral and perceived discomfort are using Upper Body Assessment (LUBA) [23,24]. Some exist Guidance such as HSG60 for Upper Limb Disorder (ULD) which is checklist for ULD hazards in the workplace [25], and to obtain a complete view of upper extremity load in various job, all work cycles should be identified and observed [26]. Meanwhile Material Handling Assessment Chart (MHAC), which are Flow charts to assess main risk factors to guide prioritization and intervention [27]. However, the usage of checklist questions on physical load and posture for repetitive tasks and the measurement of threshold limit values for hand activity and lifting works are rarely to study which needs other methods. We compare among the methods and found that PERA can evaluate the limitation of the above methods since it can measure the postural ergonomic risk of short and long cyclic assembly work [28] PERA method has robust capability in analysing and measuring cyclic work. It also has higher capability than other methods to analyze every work task in the work cycle including identification of high risk sources. PERA will be implemented in this study to measure stressful postures for the trunk, shoulder, head or neck, and elbow. It has criteria for classification of posture, duration, and force to determine the risk level. PERA has fourth steps. Firstly, we will identify the work cycle which may consist of several work tasks. Secondly, we determine the number of work tasks, a measurement for posture, force, and duration for each work task could be obtained. Thirdly, we obtain working posture, force, and duration for each task to be multiplied to give a task score for each work task. Fourth, we add editor@iaeme.com

6 Ergonomic Analysis of Rig up Wireline Pressure Control Equipment (Pce) in Well Service Activities task scores into total sum and divide them by the amount of identified work tasks to determine the overall score. Generally, PERA included these assessment items: 1. Measurement of physical load and posture for repetitive tasks 2. Determination of threshold limit values for hand activity and lifting work 3. Evaluation of joint angular deviation from neutral and perceived discomfort 4. Assessment of upper limb disorder caused by material handling assessment 5. Providing guidance on the steps of prioritization and intervention 3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This study used PERA risk analysis. There are several steps included for this research, which are the task identification, data collection, and analysis. These steps are in order to obtain and analyze data accurately. Once the work cycles and tasks have been identified, a flow chart could be developed to help visualize the research. To answer the research question about effort to reduce MSDs, we will use PERA risk analysis. As this study has objective to identify the risk of gesture posture during Rig up PCE installation process. This study will measure the injury risk during the work tasks. This study also will take the operational aspects of the Rig up PCE, effort to minimize the risk and prevention of human injury related to wrong implementation of adequate ergonomic concept. Figure 4 Research Flow Chart. The research flowchart as shown in Figure 4, and illustrates the research to collect information about work cycles. The first step is to identify relevant tasks during the Rig up process. From the previous section, 4 work cycles have been identified during the Rig up process with each work cycle requiring several tasks. In total, there are 17 tasks identified, with the first work cycle having 4 tasks, the second work cycle having 3 tasks, the third work cycle having 4 tasks, and the fourth work cycle having 6 tasks. Once identified, the potential risk for gesture and posture for each task will be analyzed using PERA. Once the tasks have been identified, the next step is to collect data in order to obtain the potential risk for gesture and posture for each task. It must be noted that, due to the amount of tasks, the data will be collected per work cycle, which in turn be classified into tasks later on. Therefore, we will take the data through three steps, e.g. (a) interview for work duration and complaint after each work cycle; (b) taking pictures and videos for each work cycle; (c) create table containing the values of posture, duration, and force for each task In the first step, we will determine the criteria for classification of demands of posture, duration, and force by PERA such as low risk, medium risk and high risk. We also will editor@iaeme.com

7 Nasuto SMAZ, Jeffri Yudistira, Talitha Gustiyana, and Taufik Roni Sahroni compare the posture trunk, forward bending, backward bending, asymmetric postures, shoulder flexion/abduction. In the second step, we will measure the duration of stressed posture with certain score such as the posture score 2 points then the worker must shift their task in the different work cycles. Secondly, as the worker can work in different time duration since they get exposure with different stressful postures, we will monitor and measure their time of duration as percentage of cycle time toward the trunk, shoulder, head/neck, hand and also their asymmetric postures. In the third step, we want to know the detail analysis of work cycle when the worker perform the Rig up PCE. We will describe the task duration, posture and force especially when they manually operate and install the component and PCE s equipment parts. At the fourth step, we present the risk as risk matrix for Rig up PCE Based on PERA. This include the Risk Level Classification when the worker installing the Rig Up PCE. This process includes the description of task score, classification of risk level and mitigation of action. Finally, in the sixth step, we present the result of risk assessment of rig up PCE installation process as job step and sequence of working activities including the hazards, potential to cause harm (health, injury, property damage, environment and mitigation measure. we also describe all existing barriers / controls for each hazard and residual risk 4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Once the data has been collected, the next step would be to analyze the data using PERA. The posture, duration, and force for each task will be analyzed using PERA by comparing them to the Criteria for Classification of Demands of Posture, Duration, and Force by PERA as listed in Table 1. Table 1 Criteria for Classification of Demands of Posture, Duration, and Force by PERA [28] Low risk (1 Medium risk (2 point) points) High risk (3 points) Forward bending 0-20 (Upright) Greater than with trunk support - - Trunk Backward bending With trunk (extension) support - Without trunk support Asymmetric postures - Rotation/lateral Rotation/lateral bending greater bending 0-10 than 10 Other - - Convex lumbar spine when sitting Greater than 60 Flexion/abduction with Shoulder Posture full arm support - - Extension/adduction - - Greater than 0 Forward bending Greater than 40 Backward bending - With trunk support Without trunk support (extension) Head & Sideways bending Sideways bending greater than neck - Other Duration Asymmetric postures Elbow flexion/extension Knee angle while sitting Percentage of cycle time - from 0 to 10 Twisting (rotation) from 0 to Twisting (rotation) greater than Greater than Less than 90 or greater than 135 0%-10% 10%-20% Greater than 20% editor@iaeme.com

E.g: smooth and controlled motion, use of both the hands when the task does not seem very heavy Clearly visible. E.g: low control over motion, bulging muscles, facial expressions, gestures Vibrations from powered hand tools Counter-shocks or impulses (such as from heavy hammering) By comparing the posture, duration, and force to the table above, an overall score could be obtained for each task. This overall score for each task will then be collected based on the work cycle and averaged to obtain the work cycle score. These scores will determine which work cycle has the most risk during the Rig up process.

Aside from high risk tasks, several tasks during the Rig up process has low risk, however, it must be noted that these low risks tasks only occupy a small amount of duration compared with the high risk tasks, which makes the overall process categorized as medium to high risk. Because of this, safety regulations during work have to deeply consider ergonomic aspects in order to help reduce the risk of injury for workers. This would involve further training, education, and safety tools implementation for workers so that the work could be done properly and risks of injury could be avoided. Once the level of risk for each task and work cycle has been determined, the next step is to determine recommended actions and mitigation in order to help reduce the risks. This is shown in Table 4 below. The score given for the is based on the Cube Method and Risk Matrix based on PERA, shown in Fig.6, which utilize the posture, force, and duration for each task. The recommended solutions are primary based from a technical standpoint in order to make it applicable to workers so that each task could be safer and yield fewer risk.

This is further visualized by Fig.6 to which illustrates the high risk tasks as red, medium risk tasks as yellow, and low risk tasks as green. Because of this, the Rig UP PCE process as a whole can be categorized as having a high level risk. With the inclusion of recommended actions and mitigation measures, a risk assessment could be made in order to reduce the risk for each work cycle. In general, this risk assessment determines the hazard, causes, and consequence for each work cycle, and a score is given to determine the risk. Once the score has been determined, mitigation and recommended actions were proposed, to which would yield a final score for the work cycle after mitigation measures and recommended actions have been implemented.

Medium Low Medium From Table 5, it can be seen that most of the work cycle during the rig up process initially has high level of risk. Because of this, much of the work cycle requires high priority for mitigation measures which in turn, need more monitoring strategy to get higher safety. Once implemented, it is clear that the mitigation measures helped reduce the risk for each work cycle by one level, making most of the work having medium risk. Once the final score for each work cycle has been given, a design and solution could be determined in order to resolve this issue editor@iaeme.com

16 Ergonomic Analysis of Rig up Wireline Pressure Control Equipment (Pce) in Well Service Activities There are several things that can be done in order to make the workplace safer. One of the ways is to decrease the possibility of ergonomic risk of related work. Here are some of the ways that could help to reduce ergonomic risk. 1. Relocation or redesigning the work place a. Work that is done from a height or more than 2 meters was changed into less than 2 meters, For example, Scaffolding (Operating Platform) to do T1: Tree adapter installation, T2: BOP installation, T3: Lubricator installation). This can be done but generate additional work and additional cost to create Operating platform / install scaffolding. So in consideration becomes uneconomical. b. Moving the work from what should be done on the Well Platform to the Work Barge. For example Connecting a Tree adapter (T1) with BOP (T2) and also connecting the Lubricator (T3) to 1 unit in the Work barge, so that T1, T2 and T3 jobs are performed only once on the platform. This means minimizing the step is the same as minimizing hazard. And also work in the work barge is much safer because it can avoid the risk Weather concern (Rain, Lightning (Lightning), Low Visibility, etc.) so that risk to the Human also becomes lower. For this option, the limiting factor of this is the Crane capacity, where the available Crane only has SWL (Safe Working Load) of 2.3 Tons. If T1 + T2 + T3 is done in the work barge, the L (total) becomes 3200 kg or 3.2 Tons, whereas SWL crane has a limitation of only 2.3 Tons. 2. Modify Ginpole design and activities From PERA calculation we have identified that activity or work related to the Ginpole (Climbing, Standing on top of Ginpole to install the secure lines) generate High risk. So if it can do the work without using or involving Ginpole then, by itself, risk or hazard related to the Ginpole could be eliminated. Figure 7 Final Recommendation to Change the Workspace Figure 7 shows a set up PCE without using Ginpole. The PCE (Lubricator + BOP) is instead secured by using Guy lines so that Workers do not need to climb the Ginpole to secure line from lubricator to Ginpole. Set up method by using guy lines is very safe to workers because of the no longer needed climbing activity and work on Ginpole (Fig.7). However, this method has several following shortcomings: a. All loads will be held (Hanging load of PCE will be held) by crane all the time editor@iaeme.com

This will ultimately cause the lifting gear to fatigue. However, this can be mitigated by a standby crane operator during work to compensate for tension change. 3. Minimize the activity. Make job Turnover and determine the maximum exposure time. Based on statistics, it can be determined that the average per person doing the job T1 until T4 Is as much as 1 to 2 times each shift. Then the intensity can be reduced by changing the working sequence, for example: Worker 1 is doing T1 and T3 only but not doing T2 and T4, where, based on previous sequence, T1 until T4 is performed by 1 person sequentially. This causes the Total Exposure Time to be longer (Total Time = tt1 + tt2 + tt3 = tt4) which causes the "Risk" injury LBP and MSDs to be greater, where Exposure Time per sequence should only be tt1 + tt4. Solutions that can be recommended for this research are: 1. Eliminate the main hazard. The main hazards that have been identified are: a. Working at high altitude b. Working with Ginpole (Awkward GP has high risk to LBP and MSDs) 2. Minimize the hazard a. Limit Rig Up PCE work. This is certainly counter-productive in terms of job efficiency because the number of jobs that can be completed in a certain period of time will decrease if the number of work is restricted. However, this can be done by increasing the number of workers per shift so that the number of Rig up activity remain the same. It must be noted that, because of this, the consideration of cost to increase the number of workers become the determining factor. b. Minimize Continuous Time Exposure (Change Work Sequence). The time exposure for each worker can be broken down, because of this 1 worker who previously performed T1 to T4 in sequence can now work only T1 + T3 where T2 + T4 is done by another worker 3. Protect the worker with PPE that can be used for T1 until T4 are: a. Risks of working at altitudes such as falling at high altitudes can be avoided with appropriate use of PPE such as using Fall arrestor and full body safety harness and also regular inspection of the PPE used to be done properly by certified or competence inspector [29] b. As for minimizing the risk of injury to gesture posture errors can be minimized by using Spinal Back Support, but this cannot completely eliminate risk factors because of workplace limitations in Ginpole causing the body to adjust to the workplace to which the Workplace should be tailored to the needs of GP workers. 4. Use other methods such as Rig up using a hydraulic mast system. Where rig up is done in horizontal position after connecting then rig up vertically with Hydraulic mast unit, which establish lubricator from horizontal position to vertical. This method requires a large area or space to put the Mast unit, because of this, it cannot be done in offshore installation because the space is very limited. 5. CONCLUSION In summary, the rig up process involves 4 work cycles and 17 tasks with each task having their own scores. From the analysis, it can be determined that the PCE Secure line installation has the highest average work cycle score with the value of Aside from obtaining the work cycle with the highest risk, it can also be concluded that most of the work during the Rig editor@iaeme.com

18 Ergonomic Analysis of Rig up Wireline Pressure Control Equipment (Pce) in Well Service Activities up process has high risk of injury with 64.7% high risk and only a 35.3% low risk obtained using the PERA method. Because of this, safety regulations have to deeply consider ergonomic aspects in order to reduce the risk of injury for workers. Several solutions that could be recommended in order to help reduce risk is by eliminating the main hazards, minimize potential hazards, protect with PPE, and the use of other method such as Rig up using a hydraulic mast system. Another way to reduce risk is by redesign the workspace to create a safer environment for workers and support ergonomic work. REFERENCES [1] Arjmand, N., Amini, M., Adi, A.
