One of the important areas in a hospital is the laundry unit/installation, which is responsible for managing both medical and non-medical linen. This research aims to identify hazards present in the laundry unit, conduct a risk assessment, and provide K3 risk control measures for the management of laundry linen at RSU Bethesda Tomohon. The type of research used is qualitative with in-depth interview and observation methods. The research was conducted from March to May 2025. The informants in this study consisted of 4 people, including the head of the laundry installation, laundry staff in the wash and sewing sections, and members of the K3 Team. The research findings revealed a total of 42 occupational safety and health risks spread across 7 linen management processes, with 6 risks categorized as low, 33 risks as moderate, and 3 risks as high. The highest-risk hazards are found in the stages of transportation, sorting, and washing of linen that involve direct contact with contaminated infectious linen.
