Abstract

Female workers at the shrimp peeling factory work in a cold room and are given the implementation of occupational health and safety (K3), which is an effort made to protect workers who are good and healthy against risks that may arise as a result of work. When working at the shrimp peeling factory, you are always required to use personal protective equipment (PPE). Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the main concern of K3 equipment which is used to protect all or part of the body when working. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is very important for women's protection in the short and long term. Some of the personal protective equipment used by female workers in shrimp peeling factories are masks, hair caps, aprons, boots and latex gloves. Usually these latex gloves are rarely used by workers because they are slippery, hinder the speed of work, and are uncomfortable because of the water. getting into gloves means that wearing gloves is often neglected and some female workers experience irritation on the skin of their palms. The aim of this research is to determine the habits of female workers' use of personal protective equipment and the consequences of frequently neglecting to wear personal protective equipment. Research Methods carried out a correlational analysis method with a cross-sectional approach with a sample size of 20 respondents. In conclusion, female workers are always provided with protective equipment to work in peeling and cleaning shrimp, but because the work system is piecework, workers choose fast work because they feel they are experienced and professional enough, they rarely use gloves because they are slippery and uncomfortable. This is what causes some workers to experience irritation on the skin of their palms.

Abstract

Occupational Health and Safety (K3) is a crucial element in ensuring worker welfare and the smooth running of company operations. Even though SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) play an important role in the economy, the work accident rate in this sector is still high compared to large companies. Limited resources and lack of management support are often the main obstacles in implementing an effective K3 management system. Objective: This literature study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the K3 management system in SMEs, identify the challenges faced, and provide recommendations for improving the implementation of K3 in this sector. Methodology: This study uses a literature study approach by collecting and analyzing various academic sources including journal articles, government reports and relevant books. The literature search focused on academic databases such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest, using keywords such as "OHS management system", "SME", "OHS effectiveness", and "work safety". Results: Findings show that implementing a comprehensive K3 management system in SMEs can reduce work accidents by up to 25% and increase awareness of the importance of K3. However, challenges such as limited resources, lack of management support, and loose regulations remain major obstacles. This study also found that SMEs that implement good K3 practices tend to have better financial performance. To improve K3 implementation in SMEs, increased access to K3 training and resources, ongoing education campaigns, development of a simple and effective K3 management system, as well as government support in the form of incentives and stricter regulations are needed. Conclusion: Although there are many challenges in implementing the K3 management system in SMEs, with the right approach and adequate support, SMEs can achieve a better level of work safety. This will not only improve worker welfare but also productivity and business sustainability.
