Abstract

Noise is unwanted sound that comes from objects or equipment from the production process that can cause health problems in the form of hearing loss and non-hearing complaints. Non-auditory effects are symptoms caused by exposure to noise, but not on the hearing organ. This effects that affect health and well- being in a person such as physiological effects, psychological effects, and communication disturbance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the level of noise exposure, worker characteristics, and worker behavior on non-auditory among workers in the unit 5-7 area of power generation company PT. X on 2022. This research was conducted in March – May involving 58 workers who are operating division workers in units 5-7 area. The design used in this research is cross sectional and data collection is done by distributing questionnaires related to non-auditory. The independent variables in this study included noise intensity based on SEG, age, working period, use of Hearing Protection Devices (HPD), noise exposure outside of work activities, and training related to noise hazards. Based on research conducted on 58 operations workers, there is a relationship between noise intensity based on SEG and psychological complaints and communication complaints.

Abstract

Eye strain is a condition where the eyes are strained due to prolonged overuse, especially in computer-based activities. NIOSH states that about 75 - 90% of computer users who spend three hours or more complaining of visual impairment. A study by Kowalska et al (2011) on office workers who use computers intensely stated that the prevalence of eye strain in female workers was 50,7% and in men was 32,6%. This study aims to determine the relationship between illuminance, reflectance, and work area contrast on eye strain complaints in office employees at PT. X. This research was conducted from April - June 2023 with a total sample of 134 employees by simple random sampling. The design used in this research is cross-sectional and data collection is carried out by distributing questionnaires, which were adopted from Haeny (2009) and Ramadhani (2012), and direct measurements using a lux meter. Results showed that there were 113 employees (84,3%) complaining of eye strain with the most common symptom felt by them was tension in the neck and shoulders (43,3%) and the least common symptom was pain in the eyelids (8,2%). The results of bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between illuminance (p-value = 0,000), reflectance (p-value = 0,001), contrast (p-value = 0,027), work duration (p-value = 0,000), and age (p-value = 0,022), but there was no relationship between visual impairment (p-value = 0,749) and history of eye health problems (p-value = 0,918) to eye strain complaints.

Abstract

Workers in oil and gas production units are at risk of exposure to chemical hazards. One of the ingredients in petroleum is volatile organic compounds (VOC), with examples of ingredients known for their toxicity being benzene, toluene and xylene. This study aims to assess health risks related to exposure to benzene, toluene and xylene of oil refinery workers at PT. X. This study will analyze personal exposure to inhalation routes from benzene, toluene and xylene chemicals using the Chemical Health Risk Assessment (CHRA) method from the Department of Safety and Health, Malaysia. The study results showed that the risk level from benzene was very high, while the risk level from toluene and xylene was at a moderate level. The highest exposure to benzene, toluene and xylene is in distillation units. Based on the results of the study, appropriate controls are needed to overcome exposure to benzene, toluene and xylene. One of the controls that can be done is to improve the ventilation system and tighten the use of personal protective equipment. Keywords: refinery unit, health risk assessment, benzene, toluene, xylene.

Abstract

Lubricant laboratory pose various occupational safety and health hazards to their workers. Exposure to chemical hazards can occur through multiple routes and can lead to both acute and chronic health risks for laboratory workers. This study aims to analyze the health risks associated with exposure to benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) among lubricant laboratory workers at PT X. The study was conducted from February to June 2024 using a descriptive analytical research design with the chemical health risk assessment method from the Department of Safety and Health Malaysia (DOSH) 2018. Data collection techniques were employed quantitatively through personal exposure measurements for inhalation exposure and qualitatively for dermal exposure. The study results indicated a high risk level for benzene exposure and a low risk level for toluene and xylene additive exposure via inhalation. Meanwhile, a high-risk level was found for benzene exposure and a moderate risk level for toluene and xylene exposure via dermal exposure. The highest average exposure levels for benzene, toluene, and xylene were observed in the Sampling Team. Based on the study findings, appropriate control measures are necessary, such as providing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), maintaining ventilation systems, and monitoring benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) exposure during routine and non-routine tasks. Keywords: lubricant laboratory, health risk assessment, BTX.
