Abstract

Many accidents in oil palm plantations are caused by risks such as harvesting activities. Even though the K3 system has been implemented, accidents still occur because there is a high potential risk of work accidents, so companies need to manage them so that the level of work accidents can be reduced. Research objectives: identify potential dangers and risks of work accidents for harvest employees, carry out an assessment and analysis of the level of value of the risk of harvesting work activities using the HIRARC method and recommend ways to control the potential risk of work accidents during harvesting based on the K3 risk management hierarchy, namely substitution, elimination, PPE and administration. Activities identified as having potential dangers and risks are sharpening tools, cutting fruit, cutting midribs, transporting fruit to TPH, and arranging fruit in TPH. There are 2 levels of risk assessment, namely low risk low risk (sharpening tools, cutting fruit at risk of being injured by thorns and the risk of material waste being exposed to sore eyes, arranging fruit in TPH), medium risk, medium risk (cutting the fronds at risk of falling fronds, swelling from wasp stings and fever, transporting fruit to TPH), and controlling risks such as substitution, elimination, using PPE, administration and being careful when working and paying attention to land conditions.

Abstract

Oil palm cultivation is not only carried out on flat land, but also in hilly areas with challenging topography. Proper plantation management, such as weed control, fertilization, and harvesting in accordance with standards, is essential to maintain quality and production yields. This study aims to (1) determine the differences in the productivity of chemical weed control workers on different plots of land (2) determine the factors that cause differences in the productivity of chemical weed control workers. The data analysis method was descriptive based on the results of field interviews, then using a productivity formula by comparing the number of hectares of work results with the working time for undulating slopes and steep slopes. The respondents in this study were five sprayers working in one of the blocks at PTPN IV Region V Longkali Plantation. The results show that there is a difference in the average productivity of chemical sprayers between the undulating slope class and the steep slope class. The average productivity in the undulating slope class is 0.126 ha/hour, while in the steep slope class it is 0.094 ha/hour. These data indicate that employee productivity is higher when working on land with undulating slopes than on steep slopes. In addition, there are several factors that cause differences in productivity, namely the level of terrain difficulty, water availability, psychology and motivation, topography, and weed conditions on the land.
