One of the product that produced by SR Silver is aluminum key pendulum. The first production process is smoothing the aluminum key pendulum with sandpapering machine and then polish the is aluminum key pendulum with grinding machine. Both processes are classified as repetitive action, because both hands do repetitive motion forward and backward for seven hours of work without recovery time. In the other hand, there are complaints of pain in some parts of the worker-s body, which are indicative of symptoms musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This resesarch is intended to reduce the risk level of MSDs for workers by providing a recovery time schedule for repetitive task. This research uses Occupational Repetitive Action Index Index method to measure the risk level of worker-s MSDs before and after implement recovery time schedule. Recovery time schedule was made by considering the energy consumption of workers (Energy Expenditure). Slot with highest energy consumption will be considered as priority slot to get a recovery time. The results showed that there was a reduction in the risk value of MSDs in both processes. For the smoothing process, in the right hand there was a reduction in risk value from 7,61 (medium risk) to 5,07 (medium risk) andrisk value from 7 (medium risk) to 4,67 (medium risk) forthe left hand. In the polishing processthere was a reduction in risk value from 12,55 (high risk) to 8,37 (medium risk) in the right hand and risk value from 11,01 (high risk) to 7.34 (medium risk) for the left hand.
