Abstract

The use of grass cutters in oil palm plantations is a crucial activity in weed control, which can impact land productivity and worker well-being. However, the use of non-ergonomic tools carries the risk of health problems such as musculoskeletal injuries, excessive fatigue, and decreased work efficiency. This literature analysis aims to explore the social and occupational safety implications of implementing ergonomic grass cutter designs in oil palm plantations. The method used is a literature review of national and international journals published between 2015 and 2024, focusing on ergonomics, occupational health, and socioeconomic impacts in the plantation sector. The analysis results indicate that the use of ergonomic grass cutters can improve work comfort, reduce the risk of injury, and increase worker productivity. In addition, improved tool design also has a positive impact on social relations between workers, reducing absenteeism, and increasing income due to more optimal work results. The main challenges identified are limited access to ergonomic tools, lack of training, and relatively high initial investment costs. This study recommends the need for policy interventions and training support for workers to optimize the benefits of ergonomic grass cutters. In conclusion, the application of ergonomic technology in oil palm plantations is not only relevant for occupational safety but also contributes to social sustainability and worker well-being.

Abstract

Work accidents in the industrial sector are a problem that often occurs and has the potential to cause major losses, both in terms of worker safety and company productivity. One of the main factors contributing to the occurrence of accidents is low compliance with chemical handling protocols. In this context, understanding the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is very important because it serves as the main guide in the safe use, storage, and handling of chemicals.This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of understanding of MSDS, the effectiveness of implementing procedures in the field, and the number of work accidents. The method used was Pearson correlation analysis involving 40 observational samples. The data obtained showed that the average level of understanding of MSDS was 73.5 and the implementation of procedures in the field was 73.1.The results of the study revealed a very strong negative correlation between the two variables and the number of work accidents, with a coefficient value of -0.938. This shows that the higher the level of understanding and compliance with the MSDS procedure, the lower the number of work accidents. Therefore, increasing education and supervision of the implementation of MSDS is an important step in creating a safer work environment.
