Abstract

Marketplaces, serving as vibrant hubs of economic activity and social interaction, are susceptible to various fire-related hazards. The market has suffered repeated market fires, causing economic, livelihood, and safety devastation, necessitating thorough research into their underlying causes and impacts. The study employed a mix of research methodologies: a structured questionnaire for the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) (experts) and vendors (non-experts), key informant interviews, focus group discussions, direct observations, and the analysis of results using the Chi-square test, in pursuit of some questions. In the course of assessing the underlying causes of fires in the market, the findings have revealed that negligence (RII: 0.65, rank: 1) was a significant cause of fire incidence in the market, followed by accidents (RII: 0.58, rank: 2).  Electrical issues were mentioned as the main “other reason” for the fire outbreaks, with over half of the respondents (74) (53.2%) attributing fires to this cause. With respect to the impact, the majority (109) 64.1% of respondents cited the loss of properties as a significant disadvantage of market fires. The majority of the respondents (35) (63.6%) consider support from Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and about (18) 32.7% of respondents emphasized the importance of having insurance as crucial additional measures to address the economic consequences of market fires. Through observations and findings, the researcher recommends proper safety protocols and public education to prevent similar incidents in the future. Also, encouraging vendors to obtain insurance coverage could help mitigate the financial burden they face in the aftermath of such fire incidents and aid in their recovery process.

Abstract

Lead (Pb) is an inorganic chemical element (95%) commonly found in soil, rocks, and plants. The use of fuel and oil containing lead is relatively high in Indonesia. Motorcycle or machine repair shop workers are at high risk of lead exposure, especially when removing used oil. Workers are exposed to oil containing lead while removing used oil from the engine, cleaning the engine cover with gasoline, opening the oil bottle cap, and pouring oil. Even, these processes can lead to lead poisoning. This study aims to evaluate workers’ risk of lead exposure during the oil-removing process at Repair Shop X. This descriptive study used a semi-quantitative approach with a Dermal Risk Exposure Method (DREAM). This study involved a total of 5 workers at Repair Shop X in the process of removing motorcycle oil. The actual dermal exposure value reached 340.36 based on the sum of the four activities. This was considered in the very high exposure category. Meanwhile, based on the activity obtained by calculating worker hygiene and work environment. The total exposure value was 306.33, which is a very high category. Therefore, using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves and maintaining worker and work environment hygiene by cleaning with water regularly can help minimize lead exposure.

Abstract

The construction industry is hazardous due to its tendency to cause accidents. In constructing a multi-storey building, one of the risks that has the potential for work accidents is the risk of falling from a height. This research was conducted on the “Y” building revitalization project in Semarang city. This study aims to analyze the factors that are the basic causes of unwanted events in the project's revitalization using the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) method. This research is descriptive observational research with analysis based on field observations and supported by literature studies from previous research. The results showed two of the most dangerous risks, namely "workers being hit by falling materials from a height" during advanced structural work, and the risk of “falling from a height” during advanced structural work and installation work. When applying the FTA model, 16 root causes were found for both risks. To minimize these risks, it is necessary to take mitigation measures such as paying attention to one's physical and mental condition before working, always complying with applicable SOPs, and wearing complete PPE.

Abstract

The safety and health of workers in the furniture painting industry are a primary concern, given the increasing use of hazardous chemicals that can lead to various health issues. This study aims to analyze the inhalation risk associated with thinner use among furniture painting workers at Furniture X. Using a descriptive research method; the analysis focuses on inhalation exposure risks linked to thinner chemicals. Data were collected through a review of thinner Safety Data Sheets (SDS), field observations, and structured interviews, with the findings assessed using the Chemical Health Risk Assessment (CHRA) framework. The assessment considered Hazard Rating (HR), Exposure Rating (ER), and Risk Rating (RR) factors. The results indicate that thinner, which is mixed with paint for the painting process, contains chemicals such as toluene (CAS: 108-88-3), xylene (CAS: 1330-20-7), and acetone (CAS: 67-64-1), each with varying levels of risk (RR). One of the substances in thinner, xylene, was identified as having significant potential to cause respiratory irritation. The study concludes that the CHRA method applied to the furniture painting process at Furniture X revealed three hazardous chemicals in the thinner used, with xylene posing a notable health risk. These findings underscore the need to implement safe work procedures and ensure the appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Abstract

In today's development, many games are played by all groups, from small children to adults and older people. This game can be used for fun or as a learning medium. This game can also be used to increase public knowledge, one of which is regarding occupational safety and health. There is a game that can be used to improve understanding in society, namely monopoly. Therefore, this research aims to determine the effectiveness of monopoly learning media, which contains occupational safety and health "safetypoly", in increasing public knowledge regarding Occupational Safety and Health. This study used a quantitative research approach with a pre-experimental type of research. The research design used in this study was the One Group Pretest-Posttest Control Design. Data collection methods include questionnaires, observation, and interviews. The data analysis methods used in this research are the Validity Test, Reliability Test, Normality Test, and Wilcoxon Test. The "Test Statistics" output is known as Asymp based on the research results.Sig. (2-tailed) is worth 0,000. The value of 0.000 is smaller than <0.05, so there is a difference between the pre-test and post-test results. Apart from that, there was an increase in workers from 20% to 80%. It can be concluded that the safetypoly game influences students' level of knowledge regarding the dangers of chemicals, so this game is effectively used as an educational medium related to occupational safety and health.

Abstract

Batik is the art of drawing on cloth using canting with small ends and batik wax. The process of making batik can cause work accidents and occupational diseases that occur because of equipment failure and human errors that do work not according to procedures. However, in the informal batik industry, there still needs to be more knowledge and awareness related to potential hazards and controls that must be carried out. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct education to increase workers' understanding and create a safe and comfortable work environment. This research method is a quantitative study using the Wilcoxon Test to compare observations before and after treatment and determine the effectiveness of treatment. Based on the observations and analysis that have been carried out, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the use of safety cards.

Abstract

There are 84,000 tofu producers in Indonesia, ranging from household industries with 5-8 workers to medium-sized industries with 50-100 workers. In a single tofu production process, additional chemicals such as CH3COOH and MgSO4 are used. These conditions pose potential safety and health hazards for workers, requiring control measures. This study employs a quantitative approach, using an experimental model with treatment in the form of a card game. Data was collected using primary data methods, such as questionnaire instruments and direct field observation. The questionnaire was compiled based on priority hazard assessment using HIRADC calculations and then tested for validity and reliability. The questionnaire results were tested using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test because the data were not normally distributed. The study results for worker respondents (0.027) and the public (0.000), or P value < 0.05, indicate that H0 is rejected, and Ha is accepted. The modified truth-or-dare card game method was found to have a significant impact on toxicology knowledge among workers and the general public.

Abstract

Globally, work-related injuries are a significant public health and economic issue, with approximately 5-7% of all deaths in industrialized countries caused by work-related injuries. Each year, work accidents cause 350,000 deaths and 270 million non-fatal serious injuries. Due to its high burden of occupational hazards, the construction industry is more at risk than other industries. Compared with workers in different occupations, building construction workers are three to four times more likely to die and twice as likely to be injured than workers in other occupations. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the incidence of work accidents among house construction workers in Karangayu, Semarang Barat. This study used descriptive qualitative methods, including observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The result of this study is that factors can cause work accidents, such as age, unsafe actions such as not using PPE properly, and worker knowledge, which leads to unsafe actions. Still, in this observation, there are driving factors behind workers' unsafe actions, one of which is the non-compliance of house construction workers in Karangayu, Semarang.
