Abstract

The work of stone breakers involves heavy and repetitive physical activity, which can increase the risk of injuries and health problems, one of which is work fatigue. Before work fatigue becomes more severe, it is essential to identify its causes. This study aims to analyze work fatigue and the factors that influence it. The study uses an observational analytic approach with a total of 50 respondents. The variables measured include age, length of work, years of service, workload, total sleep time, and work fatigue. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and specific workload observations. The results of the study indicate that 25 people (50%) experienced high work fatigue. Further analysis showed that age (p-value = 0.020) and gender (p-value = 0.001) significantly influenced work fatigue. The results also showed that there was no significant effect of length of work (p-value = 0.140), years of service (p-value = 0.27), workload (p-value = 0.258), and total sleep time (p-value = 0.401) on work fatigue. This study concludes that work fatigue among traditional stone breakers is influenced by age and gender. Interventions are needed to reduce work fatigue through adjustments to the work environment and rest periods. This study reinforces the understanding of Q.S. Al-Baqarah/2:286, which emphasizes that every individual has limitations. The fatigue experienced is proof that the human body has limits and needs adequate rest to function optimally.

Abstract

Previous studies on diving-related paralysis have largely focused on recreational or industrial diving, leaving a critical gap in understanding the knowledge-based risk factors affecting traditional compressor divers in informal, high-risk work environments. This study addresses that gap by examining the association between safety knowledge and paralysis incidence among traditional compressor divers in Menara Indah Village, Selayar Regency, Indonesia. Using a case-control design, 44 male respondents were purposively selected, consisting of 22 cases (with diving-induced paralysis) and 22 controls (without paralysis). Data were collected through structured questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using Odds Ratio (OR) and Population Attributable Risk (PAR). The results revealed that divers with poor safety knowledge had 5.4 times higher odds of experiencing paralysis than those with adequate knowledge. Furthermore, the PAR value of 66.44% indicates that two-thirds of paralysis cases in this population could potentially be prevented through improved safety education. These findings underscore the importance of culturally appropriate, community-based safety training to mitigate health risks in informal marine labor sectors. This study contributes novel empirical evidence to support the integration of public health education within occupational safety frameworks, particularly in underserved coastal communities where traditional diving practices remain widespread and underregulated.

Abstract

Iklim keselamatan atau persamaan persepsi bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keselamatan kerja di tempat kerja dan menurunkan angka kecelakaan kerja. Di mana iklim keselamatan ini dapat berbeda-beda tergantung dari karakteristik pekerja. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh karakteristik tenaga kerja terhadap iklim keselamatan di bagian workshop peralatan pembuatan semen. Jenis penelitian pada penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif yang menggunakan pendekatan cross-sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh tenaga kerja di bagian workshop PT. PKM. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan total sampling dengan jumlah 56 orang tenaga kerja. Karakteristik tenaga kerja pada penelitian ini diantaranya adalah usia, masa kerja, tingkat pendidikan, posisi jabatan dan status perkawinan. Sedangkan iklim keselamatan diukur menggunakan NOSACQ-50. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah regresi ordinal. Hasil dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa masa kerja (?=0,013), posisi jabatan (?=0,00) dan tingkat pendidikan (?=0,021) memiliki pengaruh terhadap iklim keselamatan kerja tenaga kerja sedangkan usia (?=0,137) dan status perkawinan (?=0,556) tidak berpengaruh terhadap iklim keselamatan tenaga kerja. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah karakteristik tenaga kerja yang berpengaruh dengan iklim keselamatan adalah masa kerja, posisi jabatan, dan tingkat pendidikan. Kata Kunci: iklim keselamatan, karakteristik tenaga kerja, masa kerja, pendidikan, posisi jabatan
