Abstract

The implementation of occupational safety principles plays a very important role for officers who handle B3 medical waste, considering that they interact directly with hazardous and toxic materials. This effort aims to create a safe, healthy, and pollution-free work environment, so as to minimize the occurrence of work accidents and health problems due to exposure in the workplace. This study uses a qualitative approach with the aim of exploring in depth the implementation of occupational safety in B3 medical waste processing officers at the Pagar Merbau Health Ceter, Deli Serdang Regency. There were three informants in this study, and data were obtained through observation and in-depth interviews. The results of the study showed that the implementation of occupational safety in the field has not been running optimally. One of the main obstacles is the lack of consistency of officers in using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Based on these results, it is recommended that K3 officers be more intensive in providing direction and supervision of the use of PPE and the implementation of work procedures according to applicable standards. This is important to ensure the safety and comfort of work for officers involved in the management of B3 medical waste.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health is an important aspect in optimal growth and development, but mental health literacy among students is still low. This community service activity aims to improve students' mental health literacy through interactive education at SMA Muhammadiyah 16 Lubuk Pakam. The method used is a participatory education approach with a combination of pretest-posttest, discussion, games, and educational videos. The activity was carried out in May 2025 involving 30 grade XI students who were selected purposively. The pretest results showed that only 33% of students had a good understanding of mental health. After the intervention, there was a significant increase, with 90% of students reaching the "good" category and the average score increasing from 39.6 to 92.0. Qualitative evaluation showed that 83% of students felt better able to recognize symptoms of stress, and 70% were interested in forming regular discussion groups. This activity also encouraged students' openness to counseling and received appreciation from the school. The discussion emphasized that interactive-based education is effective in increasing understanding and positive attitudes towards mental health. However, the limited duration of the activity is an obstacle in deepening the material. Therefore, it is recommended that similar programs be conducted periodically and integrated into the school guidance and counseling system through peer counselor training and mental health clubs. Overall, this educational approach proves that schools can be a strategic place to build psychological literacy in adolescents systematically and sustainably.
