Abstract

This study aims to evaluate employees' understanding of occupational diseases in various industrial sectors in Karawang Regency, one of the largest industrial areas in Indonesia. Occupational diseases are a significant health issue in industrial environments, especially in high-risk sectors such as manufacturing, automotive, textile, and chemical industries. A lack of understanding among employees about the risks and prevention of occupational diseases can increase the incidence rate, reduce productivity, and raise healthcare costs for both companies and workers. This research employs a cross-sectional survey design with a quantitative approach. Data were collected from 400 employee respondents across various industrial sectors using a stratified random sampling technique to ensure sample representativeness. A structured questionnaire was used to measure employees' understanding of the types of occupational diseases, risk factors, and occupational health and safety practices (OHS). Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics to illustrate the distribution of employee understanding and inferential statistics such as Chi-Square tests and logistic regression to identify factors influencing employees' comprehension. The results show that only 25% of employees have a high understanding of occupational diseases, while 45% have a moderate understanding, and 30% have a low understanding. Analysis by industrial sector shows that the manufacturing sector has the highest level of understanding (35%), followed by automotive (30%), textile (20%), and chemical (15%). These findings indicate a significant gap in employee understanding across various industrial sectors, which requires more specific and intensive OHS training and education approaches. This study concludes that to improve employees' understanding of occupational diseases, companies need to adopt more targeted, interactive, and evidence-based training strategies. Additionally, collaboration between companies and local government in designing effective OHS policies is essential to ensure optimal occupational health and safety. The implications of this study provide significant contributions to national occupational health policy and can serve as a reference for further research in similar contexts

Abstract

The implementation of ergonomics in the workplace is a key strategy to improve the health and productivity of workers, especially in the healthcare sector. This study aims to explore the impact of ergonomic working positions on the productivity of administrative staff at the Islamic Hospital of Karawang. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-analytic design was used, involving 100 administrative staff as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and direct observations of working conditions before and after ergonomic interventions. The data were analysed using paired t-tests to evaluate significant changes in work productivity and health complaints. The results show that good ergonomic practices can reduce complaints of back pain by 50%, neck pain by 30%, and circulatory problems by 10%. Additionally, there was an increase in job satisfaction by 25% and operational efficiency by 20% following the ergonomic interventions. A 20% reduction in absenteeism was also identified as a positive impact of the ergonomic interventions. These findings suggest that ergonomic working positions positively impact not only physical health but also enhance productivity and work efficiency. Therefore, ergonomics should be prioritized in human resource management in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. This study provides significant contributions to the development of evidence-based occupational health policies and can serve as a guideline for other hospitals to adopt better ergonomic practices. Thus, this study is expected to promote healthier, more productive, and more sustainable work environments in the healthcare sector

Abstract

Occupational health risks among nutrition staff in hospitals are often overlooked in occupational health and safety (OHS) policies that tend to focus more on medical personnel. This study aims to identify and evaluate the occupational health risks faced by nutrition staff at the Islamic Hospital of Karawang Regency and provide recommendations for more effective risk mitigation. The research approach used is a quantitative descriptive method with a cross-sectional design. Data collection was carried out through a survey using structured questionnaires distributed to all nutrition staff working at the hospital. The study results indicate that the most significant occupational health risk is work-related stress (30%), followed by chemical exposure (25%), poor ergonomics (20%), biological exposure (15%), and physical hazards (10%). The high risk of work-related stress is caused by excessive workloads, lack of management support, and strict service demands. Chemical exposure, such as from detergents and disinfectants, can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and other health issues. Poor ergonomics related to inappropriate working positions and unsuitable equipment use leads to musculoskeletal disorders, such as back pain. Biological exposure can result from inadequate hygiene standards and unsafe food handling, while physical hazards include injuries from unsafe kitchen equipment. This study recommends comprehensive interventions to reduce occupational health risks, including regular training on stress management and safe chemical use, improving the work environment to be more ergonomic, and strengthening hygiene standards. Implementing a more inclusive and data-driven OHS policy can improve the well-being of nutrition staff, which, in turn, will enhance the quality of healthcare services in the hospital. This aligns with findings that "comprehensive and evidence-based occupational safety policies can improve service quality and worker satisfaction" (Robinson & Griffiths, 2017).
