Abstract

Background Airport baggage handlers are involved in manual handling of heavy loads, predisposing them to the risk of developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study aimed to determine the burden of self-reported MSDs and their associated factors among airport baggage handlers in Brunei Darussalam. Methods In this cross-sectional study, we used a self-administered questionnaire to collect demographic and work profile data. We also incorporated the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire to assess body-part MSD symptoms over a 12-month period. Baggage handlers’ perceptions of the likelihood of specific work tasks related to MSDs and of preventative measures were also sought.  The data were summarized using descriptive statistics, and Pearson’s chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used to assess the statistical significance of associations between demographic and work factors and MSD burden. Results The study received a response rate of 58%. 12-month proportion for self-reported MSD was 86.5%. Low back pain (70%), upper back pain (62%), and shoulder pain (43%) were commonly reported MSDs. Loading containers in the baggage room, baggage handling inside narrow-body aircraft, and pushing/pulling trailers were found to be high-risk work tasks for MSD symptoms. Improved staff rostering, reduced process pace, and the use of ‘heavy’ tags were perceived as beneficial control measures. Conclusion The 12-month proportion of self-reported MSDs was high (86.5%) among airline baggage handlers. Longer employment duration and baggage handling in narrow-body aircraft were significantly associated with higher MSDs. These findings indicate the need to reinforce workplace policies, procedures, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to prevent MSD in this occupational group.

Abstract

Background Home-based ironing businesses in Johar Baru District, Central Jakarta, are part of the informal sector, vulnerable to health risks due to suboptimal working conditions. This study aims to identify, assess, and control health risks through a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) approach. Methods Research methods include direct observation, interviews, environmental measurements, health screenings, and ergonomic surveys using the BRIEF (Baseline Risk Identification of Ergonomic Factor) instrument. Results The results indicate that the temperature in the ironing area reaches 33°C, exceeding the comfort standard, and that 80% of workers have dark yellow urine, indicating a high risk of dehydration. Risk assessment using the GlaxoSmithKline Environment, Health, and Safety (GSK EHS) risk matrix identifies dehydration as the highest risk (score 12, High), followed by varicose veins and muscle pain (score 9, Medium). Interventions such as hydration education, provision of 1000 ml water bottles, and reminder alarms effectively improved workers' hydration status, with urine color changing from dark yellow to light yellow. However, limitations in controlling high temperatures and potential bias in intervention evaluations remain challenges. Conclusion This study recommends installing fans, ergonomic interventions, and regular monitoring by community health centers to create a safer and healthier work environment. The findings contribute significantly to the development of occupational health and safety (OHS) models in the informal sector and to the promotion of evidence-based approaches in health risk management.

Abstract

Background Graves’ disease has adverse effects on quality of life, because of somatic psychiatric symptoms and an inability to work. Chefs face many occupational hazards that can aggravate certain medical conditions, worsen the disease, and pose safety risks at work. This case report aims to assess the returning-to-work evaluation and program for a chef with Graves’ disease. Case Description A forty-seven-year-old Indonesian male who was diagnosed with Graves’ disease from characteristic clinical features and biochemical abnormalities was admitted to the hospital with shortness of breath. TSH concentration was 0.001mU/L, FT4 concentration was 2.85 ng/dL, hemoglobin level was 10.6 g/dL, and thrombocyte level was 85,000mcL. The patient was a chef in a western food restaurant for eight years and exposed to several hazards related to health conditions, such as physical (hot and high humidity environment), chemical (kitchen smoke, carbon dust, allergens, and irritants from spices and foods), ergonomic (long time standing), and psychosocial (complaints from discontented customers). The return-to-work assessment on this worker was performed using the Seven Steps of Return-to-Work Evaluation Method issued by the Indonesian Occupational Medicine Association (IOMA), taking into account capacity, risk, and tolerance. Summary This worker suffers from Graves' disease, which can be exacerbated by work. The fit-to-work status was temporarily unfit to work as a chef and required a job adjustment upon returning to work.
