Ports are one of the logistics sector industries that is experiencing rapid growth from year to year. One of the ports in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, is experiencing a rapid increase in activity, which is supported by the development of the Indonesian Capital City (IKN). This condition also causes an increase in the activities of office workers in the managerial and administrative fields at the port. Office area workers generally spend most of their time in front of computers. Therefore, office area workers are at risk of experiencing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) because they are in a static and monotonous position. This research was an observational study using a cross-sectional approach. This research aimed to assess work posture ergonomically using the ROSA method to determine the risk of MSDs owned by office area workers. Assessment of work posture is carried out by observation using the ROSA sheet. The research results showed that most workers (58.33%) had a risk of MSDs in the warning level category, and the remainder (41.67%) had a risk of MSDs in the Necessity of Intervention Measures category. The causes of the high risk of MSDs in office workers are less ergonomic workstations and low awareness among workers regarding ergonomic working posture. Therefore, port companies, in this case, need to make improvements by rearranging workstations, creating health information media about ergonomics, and providing ergonomics training to workers.
