Abstract

Background: Potential hazards are a threat to the safety and health of workers. Formwork fabrication as a woodworking area to create molds that will be used for the casting process of columns, beams and plates is not spared from potential hazards. Initial observations reveal some potential hazards that are of interest to be further identified. This study aims to identify potential hazards in the formwork fabrication area. The benefit is that it can be the basis for assessing risk and determining appropriate control determinants; Method: This type of research is a descriptive survey with an observational approach. The method used is a Walkthrough Survey with a hazard identification sheet instrument. Hazard identification is carried out based on UURI Number 1 of 1970 and PPRI Number 50 of 2012, namely identifying potential hazards sourced from humans, production materials, equipment, machinery, working methods and work environment; Results: Unsafe action; The use of materials that are large, heavy and have sharp edges; The use of hammers, saws, rotation of grinding blades, sparks, use of electrical connectors is not feasible; Works without structured flows and procedures; Vibration, noise, heat pressure, dust, fecal coliform, mosquitoes, centipedes, unstructured workstation layout, awkward posture, manual handling, and repetitive body movements are some of the potential hazards that have been successfully identified; and Conclusion: Each potential hazard has its own risk that has not been assessed in this study. Likewise, the determinants of its control have not been included in this study. For this reason, further research is needed to assess risks and determine control determinants based on the potential hazards that have been identified in this study.

Abstract

Background: Hazard is a threat to the safety and health of workers. Iron fabrication as an iron work area to cut, bend, and assemble irons which will be used for building construction structures is not an exception for hazards. Preliminary observation has shown a number of hazards which were interesting to be identified further. This study aims to identify hazards in an iron fabrication area. It might be used as a basis to evaluate risks and decide appropriate control determinants. Method: The type of this study was a descriptive survey with an observational approach. The method applied in the study was a Walkthrough Survey using hazard identification sheets as the instruments. Hazard identification was conducted based on UURI Nomor 1 Tahun 1970 (RI Law, 1970) and PPRI Nomor 50 Tahun 2012 (RI Government Regulation, 2012), i.e. by identifying hazards coming from humans, production materials, tools, machinery, work methods, and work environment. Results: Unsafe action; Corroded iron coated with silica; Use of pliers, bending machine, cutting machine, grinder; Repetitive movements of manual handling, awkward body postures; Vibration, noise, heat pressure, dust, fecal coliform, mosquitos, centipedes, and scattered iron cuttings were some of the identified hazards. Conclusion: Every hazard has its own risk whose extent has not been evaluated in this study. In addition, control determinants have not been elaborated. Therefore, further studies are required to evaluate the risks and decide the control determinants based on the hazards which have been identified in this study.
