Introduction: Unergonomic working posture is one of the causes of musculoskeletal disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) can be affected by factors such as working hours, age, and posture. If the working posture is not done correctly, it may cause disorders of the muscles, bones, tendons, and nervous system. This study aims to analyze the correlation of working posture toward complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) on pipeline installation workers of a state-owned water utility company (PDAM). Methods: The design of this study was a descriptive qualitative with a cross-sectional design. The sample in the study consisted of 30 workers selected by a total sampling method. The variables in this study were working postures whose data were obtained using the Quick Exposure Checklist (QEC) instrument and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) whose data were obtained using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) instrument. The data analysis used in this study was a gamma correlation test. Results: According to the results obtained, for actions that need to be investigated further and changed soon, 55.6% had a high category, and 44.4% had a very high category of musculoskeletal complaints. Meanwhile, in the category of acts that need to be investigated and changed immediately, 15.4% had moderate musculoskeletal complaints, 15.4% had high musculoskeletal complaints, and 69.2% had very high musculoskeletal complaints. According to the results of the correlation test between the working posture variable and the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), the significance value obtained was 0.000 and the coefficient value obtained was 0.752. Conclusion: There was a significant and strong positive relationship between the two variables, that is, the higher the working posture value, the higher the main complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).Keywords: work posture, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), pipeline installation workers

Introduction: The results of the research conducted by Frank Bird concluded that every occupational safety and health is preceded by a near-injury occurrence or near miss. Near miss is an incidence that potentially causes loss, which is triggered by direct factors, namely unsafe action, and unsafe conditions, and basic factors, such as workers and works. The workers as a basic factor comprise their knowledge and attitudes towards occupational safety and health-related to personal protective equipment (PPE). Methods: This research is descriptive research that aims to identify the strength of the relationship between the knowledge and attitudes toward occupational safety and health that is related to PPE in the Outfitting Unit at PT. Dok dan Perkapalan Surabaya by applying the cross-sectional design. The data is obtained by questionnaire and interview. The questionnaire is distributed to all 30 workers in the Outfitting Unit at PT. Dok dan Perkapalan Surabaya. Results: Indicate that the majority of the workers experience a low-level of near-miss (90%), while the other 10% experience a moderate-level of near-miss. The correlation coefficient value as many as 0.149 denotes that there is a weak relationship between the workers’ knowledge of occupational safety and health and a near miss. Similarly, the relationship between the workers’ attitudes toward occupational safety and health regarding PPR and near-miss is also a weak relationship with the correlation coefficient value of 0.236. In conclusion, it is affirmed that effective communication between units and the provision of PPE are the factors that cause the occurrence of near-miss in the company. Keywords: attitude, knowledge, near miss

Introduction: Gender issue has been tremendously discussed all over the world, and it inhibits females’ career development and work safety. Nevertheless, it specifically persists in the mining industry and continues to discourage women from developing and managing their careers in the mining industry. Moreover, gender issue hampers their work safety as well in spite of the fact that researchers have estimated that around 10% of females work in the mining sector. This research aims to explain how gender bias and sexual harassment in the mining industry hamper females’ career development and work safety, which in turn affects this industry’s sustainable development. Methods: The method of this study was qualitative descriptive research approach, and the snowball sampling technique was used, where researchers selected 23 informants who had experienced gender bias and sexual harassment while working in mining companies. Phone interviews were conducted, and informants answered questions about gender bias and sexual harassment in the workplace towards their career development. Transcription, segmentation and conceptualization were done to analyze data. Results: The research results have shown that gender bias and sexual harassment are big stumbling blocks not only to women’s career development and work safety in the mining sector but also to the industry itself. The research has revealed that the hiring process, where most women get rejected because of wrong perceptions and cultural background that mining-related works are for men, plays a big role in this issue. Moreover, those who are hired are not taken care of. Conclusion: Gender bias and sexual harassment significantly affect career development of female workers, and they also hinder their work safety and financial stability.Keywords: career development, mining, gender bias, sexual harassment, work safety

Publisher : Universitas Airlangga

Introduction: Benzene is a carcinogenic compound commonly found in drilling fluid, a chemical used in oil and gas drilling operations. Benzene exposure to workers is known to cause acute and/or chronic disease. Adequate control measures shall be identified and implemented to prevent the adverse health effects of benzene from the utilization of drilling fluid. Methods: This study measured benzene concentrations at several locations, above the drilling rig, which has the potential risk of benzene vapor exposure. From the measurement results, if the threshold limit value was exceeded, LEV was proposed to be installed and the effectiveness of LEV at each location would be assessed. A two-tailed t-test was used with a confidence level of 95% (α=0.05) to measure the effectiveness of LEV. Results: In several areas, benzene concentration exceeded TLV-TWA, and LEV was installed in those areas as control measures. In this study, it was found that LEV was not always effective in reducing the concentration of benzene in some areas. Conclusion: Drilling fluid was essential for drilling activity, and this could cause benzene vapor to contaminate the working area. The installation of the LEV shall consider the type of containment through which the drilling fluid flows to ensure the mitigation measures are effective to reduce the concentration of benzene in the air that may be exposed to workers.Keywords: benzene, drilling fluid, exhaust ventilation

Introduction: Every year, work accidents frequently occur at PT. X. The initial survey showed a lack of control and commitment to be the main problems. Commitment is the core of the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). This study aims to determine the factors that can increase safety commitment of workers. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. In this study, the independent variables were age, gender, years of service, education level, safety motivation, management of safety commitment, safety communication, and social support. Meanwhile, the dependent variable was the safety commitment. 78 workers were selected using a simple random sampling technique from a population of 395 workers. Questionnaires were used to collect data. Data analysis used a multinomial logistic regression test. Results: 64.1% of workers were aged 41-51 years old, 56.4% were females, 82.0% had >10 years of service, 75.6% had a secondary education level, 56.4% had high safety motivation, 57.7% assessed management commitment to safety as low, 59.0% assessed safety communication as less, 52.6% had high social support, and 37.2% tended to have continuous safety commitment. Characteristics of workers (age, gender, years of service, education level), safety motivation, and social support did not affect safety commitment. Meanwhile, management commitment to safety (p=0.004) and safety communication (p=0.014) affected safety commitment of workers. Conclusion: The way to increase workers' commitment to safety is to increase the company's commitment to OHS and improve safety communication efforts.Keywords: management commitment to safety, safety commitment, safety communication
