This study was conducted on the activities of grinding and inspection operators. Based on the results of the study with the calculation of the REBA score, it is known that the activities of the grinding operator got a score of 10, and the inspection operator got a score of 9, each of which has a high risk level and requires improvement. Proposals for improving the work posture of operators with recommendations for chair and table aids.
