Abstract

The use of grass cutters in oil palm plantations is a crucial activity in weed control, which can impact land productivity and worker well-being. However, the use of non-ergonomic tools carries the risk of health problems such as musculoskeletal injuries, excessive fatigue, and decreased work efficiency. This literature analysis aims to explore the social and occupational safety implications of implementing ergonomic grass cutter designs in oil palm plantations. The method used is a literature review of national and international journals published between 2015 and 2024, focusing on ergonomics, occupational health, and socioeconomic impacts in the plantation sector. The analysis results indicate that the use of ergonomic grass cutters can improve work comfort, reduce the risk of injury, and increase worker productivity. In addition, improved tool design also has a positive impact on social relations between workers, reducing absenteeism, and increasing income due to more optimal work results. The main challenges identified are limited access to ergonomic tools, lack of training, and relatively high initial investment costs. This study recommends the need for policy interventions and training support for workers to optimize the benefits of ergonomic grass cutters. In conclusion, the application of ergonomic technology in oil palm plantations is not only relevant for occupational safety but also contributes to social sustainability and worker well-being.

Abstract

Peneladi Village, Pana, Kapuas District, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan, is a center for oil palm plantations with high production potential. However, most farmers still rely on conventional cultivation methods that do not fully adhere to Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards. This impacts low productivity, the quality of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), and environmental sustainability. This community service activity aims to provide technical assistance and education on the application of GAP in oil palm cultivation, including land management, balanced fertilization, integrated pest management (IPM), and timely harvesting. Implementation methods include outreach, training, demonstration plots (demplots), and field assistance. The activity results showed an 85% increase in farmers' knowledge and skills based on pre- and post-test evaluations, as well as the implementation of more environmentally friendly and efficient cultivation practices. Farmers began implementing a fertilizer system based on soil analysis results, proper frond pruning, and mechanical weed control to reduce herbicide use. This activity contributed to increasing farmer awareness of the importance of sustainable production and environmental management. Going forward, it is hoped that GAP implementation can be consistently implemented to increase oil palm productivity in Penyeladi Village, maintain the quality of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), and preserve ecosystem sustainability.
