Mechanical Workshop is one of the parts of the organization that handles repair and maintenance work on factory machines. A number of signs of fatigue occur in the workplace, including workers feeling fatigued, sleepy, having difficulty maintaining concentration, feeling sore, and becoming ill, as well as supervisors recognizing fatigue as a problem resulting from high workloads at the workplace. Employees report fatigue impairing their work activities, resulting in a decline in work performance and accidents such as hands being pinched and scratched. Therefore this study aims to evaluate and design a mitigation strategy of work fatigue for workshop mechanical workers at PT. Pupuk Kujang. In this study, 50 workshop mechanical workers participated in a fatigue measurement activity. Three measurement activities were conducted in one day, which are morning, midday, and late afternoon. The measurement instruments are Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), as well as a questionnaire. The results of this study show that workers tend to experience an increasing feeling of fatigue from morning until afternoon with fourteen people experiencing substantial fatigue. Factors that correlate with the level of work fatigue are commuting times and distance, level of work conflict, frequency of work overtime, total duration of sleep in two days consecutively, frequency of work in the factory, monthly salary, work stress, and age. Based on the results, this study recommends some strategies for mitigating work fatigue. The recommendations are providing a pick-up vehicle, holding workshops and training events, the facilitation of naps, overtime policies, the use of caffeinated drinks, providing a training and certification process for workers, better work planning and assignment system for repairs and maintenance, and creating campaign posters at the workplace.
