Abstract

Introduction: The chance of respiratory diseases among workers participating in toll road construction projects is, for example, higher because of non-organic dust. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the level of lung capacity experienced by the workers by exposing them to dust and wearing masks. Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated toll road projects in Central Java and Yogyakarta and randomly selected workers from different strata of construction companies. The volume Air Sampler estimated dust concentration, while the pulmonary function test included spirometry. All data were analyzed using two-way MANOVA. Results and Discussion: The multivariate analysis of variance showed that workers exposed to dust exceeding the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) had significantly reduced FEV1 and FVC averages (p < 0.001). The averages of FEV1 and FVC increased more considerably in mask users than non-users, indicating mask usage's benefits. The decline in lung function was smaller in mask users, with FEV1 (95% CI: 0.080–0.321) and FVC (95% CI: 0.071–0.404). A reduction in walking distance also demonstrated significance to the decrease in FVC. Conclusion: They found that dust in construction declines lung capacity, but wearing masks provides some protection. However, such impact continues even after stopping wearing masks, thus stressing the importance of correct mask usage and staff training. Subsequent research must investigate dust interaction and various types of masks to enhance Indonesian workers’ health.

Abstract

The International Labour Organization (ILO) states that in 2024, there will be 57.8% of informal workers in the world. Indonesia has 59.11% proportion of informal employment in 2024 according to the Central Bureau of Statistics. Informal workers face unidentified hazards that can cause injury or occupational diseases. Informal cake-making workers who work 8 hours a day are potentially exposed to ergonomic hazards, fire hazards from cake baking and other occupational hazards. The purpose of this community service was to provide knowledge and handling of occupational hazards in informal workers. The method of implementing community service is a field survey to identify hazards and risk assessments, conduct Strength, Weakness, Opportunity Treath (SWOT) analysis, Counselling,and Poster Making. Community service produces data on identifyingoccupational hazards and risk assessments of informal workers making cakes, ergonomic counselling materials,and posters of safe work positions. Informal workers in the cake Home Industry have the potential danger of hand injury by machinery, the potential danger of fire and the potential danger of skeletal muscle disorders in the form of Low back pain and Carpal Tunnel syndrome. The conclusion of the results of community service providing knowledge about hazard identification and control, lectures on MSDsof skeletal muscle disorders and handling MSDsby providing Manual Lifting Posters and correct Sitting Positions can increase MSDs knowledge amongIndika bread home industry workers. The sustainability of this service is expected that workers and owners of Indika Home Industry begin to control hazards, especially MSDs hazards gradually and apply manual lifting correctly to reduce employee ergonomic complaints
