Abstract

Work fatigue is a common occupational health problem in the garment (convection) industry, particularly among sewing workers. These workers are typically required to maintain static postures for prolonged periods, work long hours, and perform monotonous, repetitive tasks. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with work fatigue among sewing workers in garment businesses located on Jalan Amaliun, Medan Area District, Medan City. The study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 30 respondents selected using a total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods, with the Chi-Square test applied at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed significant relationships between age and work fatigue (p-value = 0.01 < 0.05), gender and work fatigue (p-value = 0.028 < 0.05), length of employment and work fatigue (p-value = 0.027 < 0.05), as well as daily working hours and work fatigue (p-value = 0.00 < 0.05). Therefore, garment workers, especially those in the sewing section, are encouraged to maintain their physical condition to remain optimal during work. Meanwhile, business owners are advised to regulate working hours more effectively and provide adequate rest periods to reduce the risk of work fatigue.

Abstract

Workplace accidents are unexpected events occurring in occupational settings that may result in physical injury, material loss, or even death. In a palm oil mill in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, accidents are primarily associated with worker negligence, inadequate use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and unsafe working conditions. One preventive strategy implemented is the occupational health and safety (OHS) management approach through safety talk, which aims to promote safe work behavior and strengthen a safety culture. This study aims to analyze the implementation of safety talk in a palm oil mill in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. A qualitative research design with a case study approach was employed, involving key informants including the chief machinist, processing assistant, foreman, deputy foreman, and seven operators from each processing station. The findings indicate that the regular implementation of safety talk has a positive impact on improving workplace safety, enhancing OHS awareness, and reducing the incidence of occupational accidents. However, several challenges remain, including limited communication between management and workers, as well as suboptimal worker awareness. The effectiveness of the program is supported by strong managerial commitment, adequate facilities, and continuous training, as reflected in improved worker discipline and a decline in accident rates. Therefore, enhancing the quality of safety talk, strengthening OHS training, implementing reward systems, and encouraging active worker participation and accountability are strongly recommended.
