Abstract

Introduction: industrial mining activities have the highest prevalence of NIHL due to operating a heavy vehicle. Dozer is one of the heavy vehicles with a high noise level. Methods: This study was descriptive research about risk factors related to hearing loss of 28 dozer operators at PT. X. The risk factors consisted of demographic factors, working behavior (listening to music, smoking), noise levels were analyzed with hearing loss using STS. Interviews were conducted with the workers and company representatives. Hearing loss examination used an audiometric test to determine the STS of the operators with the result that positive more than 10 dB and negative at 10 dB or less. All the data is secondary. Results: noise level of all dozers exceeds the TLV (>85dB) operated for 10 hours a day and six days a week. Half of the dozer operators had STS (+) occurred at age 40 years and older, working for more than five years, not use the PPE or misused, the habit of listening to music and smoking. Conclusion: noise and demographic factors can increase the risk of hearing loss in dozer operators. The company must control by combining plywood, foam, tray, and coir material in the dozer cabin, which can reduce 31.94 dB and apply for PPE double protection.

Abstract

Introduction: Corrosion inhibitor (CI) is injected as carbon steel pipe corrosion protection with sulfur-containing substances in the product. One type of them is thioglycolic acid (TGA). Besides having benefits in maintaining pipe integrity, TGA can be decomposed to HS (hydrogen sulfide) due to changes in ambient temperature during storage, such as direct sunlight exposure on the field. This irritant gas can pose a risk to the health of chemical workers. Therefore, this study aims to measure the concentration of H2S in a CI product containing TGA. Method: The data were collected from an oil and gas company measurement report on 12 CI drums with 1-3%w of TGA content by using a glass tube detector. Measurements were performed by varying the measurement distance (0 and 10 cm from the mouth of the drum), observing the condition of the inflated drum surface, and determining the existence of internal pressure. Results: All samples were contained H2S, and the inflated drums had higher H2S content than those that were not inflated up to more than 200 ppm in the drum bore. At this concentration, workers can experience pulmonary edema significantly prolonged exposure. Biological monitoring can be done by analyzing thiosulfate content in urine and blood after exposure or routine examination at the end of the work shift. Conclusion: CI with TGA content has the potential of high H2S concentration, and it requires risk control such as engineering control, administration control, and PPE application to minimize the health impact of H2S exposure to the workers.

Introduction: Mining is a field of work that has a high potential of risk, both in terms of health risks and safety risks. In its business processes, environmental factors are one of the potential risks that cannot be avoided by every employee. Physical work environment factors are everything around the workplace that can affect workers, either directly or indirectly, and can cause health problems such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, fatigue, and dehydration. This study aims to determine the physical environmental factors that greatly influence employee productivity. Methods: This study used quantitative methods and the secondary data. Measurement of physical factors applied the standard Threshold Limit Value (TLV) in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia Number 05 of 2018. Measurements were carried out in the workshop areas, ports, heavy equipment units, and office spaces of each department. In this study, measurements of physical climate include work climate, placement, and lighting. Results: The physical work environment is found to be good enough despite being below the standard in some areas, e.g., the lighting at the administration desk, the noise in the generator room, and some heavy equipment such as bulldozers and dump trucks. Conclusions: The physical work environment is still considered safe and will not cause health problems. However, the arrangement of lighting conditions, work climate, and noise can be improved to meet the overall OHS standards and the evaluation of other work environment factors.Keywords: literature review, metal industry, occupational contact dermatitis.
