The Ministry of Manpower is collaborating with the Indonesian Ergonomics Society (PEI) to prevent workplace risks through the implementation of ergonomics
The Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indonesian Ergonomics Society (PEI) to prevent risks and manage workplace hazards by applying ergonomic principles.
The signing took place at the Ministry of Manpower’s office in Jakarta, in the presence of the Minister of Manpower, Yassierli.
This agreement aims to create safe, healthy, comfortable, and productive working conditions for Indonesian employees.
“Strengthening ergonomic aspects must be part of the efforts to improve the quality of the workforce and the work environment, as well as to bolster risk prevention and the management of workplace hazards,” stated Minister of Manpower Yassierli.
The MoU focuses on two key areas. First, enhancing workforce competence—specifically by developing the capabilities of employees and professionals in the field of occupational health and safety (OHS) based on the science of ergonomics.
Second, compiling scientific studies—in the form of a database and academic research—to support the formulation of employment policies and programs.
“Through this collaboration, both parties agree to leverage professional networks to identify potential physical risks across various industrial sectors and implement appropriate interventions,” Yassierli added.
During the signing ceremony, Johanna presented the Asian Council on Ergonomics and Design (ACED) Award 2026. This regional Asian award was conferred in early August 2026 during the ACED conference in Singapore.
Johanna explained that PEI had nominated Yassierli for the award in recognition of his dedication and contributions to the development of ergonomic science and its application in Indonesia. ***rel

Kemnaker Gandeng PEI Cegah Risiko Bahaya Kerja Lewat Penerapan Ergonomi
Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan (Kemnaker) menandatangani Kesepahaman Bersama dengan Perhimpunan Ergonomi Indonesia (PEI) untuk mencegah risiko dan mengendalikan faktor bahaya di tempat kerja melalui penerapan prinsip ergonomi.
Penandatanganan dilakukan oleh Sekretaris Jenderal (Sekjen) Kemnaker Cris Kuntadi dan Ketua PEI Johanna Renny Octavia di Kantor Kemnaker, Jakarta, disaksikan Menteri Ketenagakerjaan (Menaker) Yassierli.
Penandatanganan Kesepahaman Bersama ini bertujuan menciptakan kondisi kerja yang aman, sehat, nyaman, dan produktif bagi tenaga kerja Indonesia.
“Penguatan aspek ergonomi perlu menjadi bagian dari upaya peningkatan kualitas SDM dan lingkungan kerja, serta meningkatkan pencegahan risiko dan pengendalian faktor bahaya di tempat kerja,” ujar Menaker Yassierli.
Kesepahaman tersebut berfokus pada dua area. Pertama, peningkatan kompetensi sumber daya manusia (SDM), yakni pengembangan kapasitas tenaga kerja dan praktisi Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3) berbasis keilmuan ergonomi.
Kedua, penyusunan kajian ilmiah berupa penyediaan basis data dan riset akademik untuk mendukung perumusan kebijakan dan program ketenagakerjaan.
“Melalui kolaborasi ini, kedua belah pihak bersepakat memanfaatkan jejaring profesi untuk memetakan potensi bahaya fisik di berbagai sektor industri dan mengintervensinya,” kata Yassierli.
Di sela penandatanganan, Johanna menyerahkan penghargaan Asian Council on Ergonomics and Design (ACED) Award 2026 kepada Yassierli. Penghargaan tingkat regional Asia itu diumumkan pada konferensi ACED di Singapura, awal Agustus 2026.
Johanna menyampaikan bahwa PEI merekomendasikan Yassierli sebagai penerima atas dedikasi dan kontribusinya bagi perkembangan keilmuan serta penerapan ergonomi di Indonesia. ***rel
