Abstract

Introduction: The Indonesian government has issued, through the Ministry of Manpower, an announcement that occupational health and safety is the creation of a conducive employment climate. This research aims to determine the relationship between characteristics of employees (age, education level, and job title or position) and work safety climate in the Phosphoric Acid Industry. Method: This research is an observational study with quantitative method. The population of this research is the employees of the phosphoric acid plant in the Phosphoric Acid Industry, totaling 44 people and total sampling technique as the sampling method. The researchers used the Pearson Spearman correlation test. Result: All dimensions of occupational safety have a weak correlation with the age of employees. Several dimensions have negative correlations with age like dimension of employees' occupational safety priority and unacceptable risks, dimension of employees' occupational safety commitment, dimensions of priority and occupational safety management capability. All dimensions of occupational safety climate have a positive correlation with the level of education. Dimension of trust toward the organization, dimensions of priority, and occupational safety management capability; dimension of occupational safety empowerment have moderate correlations with education level. Most dimensions of occupational safety climate have a negative correlation with the job positions. There is one dimension that is positively correlated with the job position, namely the dimension of trust toward the organization. Conclusion: The results of the study found that there was no strong relationship between employee characteristics (age, education level, position) with the dimensions of work safety climate.

Abstract

Introduction: Musculoskeletal complaints are often caused by accidents and occupational diseases. High heels that are often used by women workers in various companies can cause abnormalities in the shape of the feet. The purpose of this study was to detect the effect of using high heels on the foot arch of female workers in Makassar. Methods: This is a quantitative research using a cross-sectional research design. The sample in this study was 30 female workers who use high heels in Makassar who were selected using a non-probability sampling method with purposive sampling type. The data are primary data obtained through the measurement of the medial longitudinal arch with grid paper measurement which was analyzed using the Meyer line and the wet footprint examination which was analyzed by the Clarke index. Furthermore, the measurement of musculoskeletal complaint was analyzed using Nordic body map. Results: From research conducted on 30 respondents, more than 50% of respondents have pes cavus. The results of data analysis also showed the effect of heel height on increasing the height of the medial longitudinal arch of the sample based on the correlation of heel height and Clarke index. Conclusion: It found that the measurement of the soles of the feet on grid paper with the Meyer line parameter was not directly related to musculoskeletal complaints, on the contrary the Clark index could be used as a specific parameter in detecting an increase in the median longitudinal arc in the form of pes cavus.

Abstract

Introduction: Welding is one of the activities in the manufacture of gamelan gong which has the potential for causing photokeratitis in workers. Photokeratitis can occur as a result of acute exposure to UV rays in the eyes of workers. Risk assessment was used to determine the magnitude of the risk of several factors causing photokeratitis. The purpose of the study was to analyze the risk of photokeratitis among the welders of gamelan gongs in Ponorogo Regency based on the concept of epidemiology. Methods: The research design was cross sectional which was carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic in May 2021. The population of this study was welders making gamelan gongs in Ponorogo, Indonesia. There were six respondents selected using the non-probability sampling technique. Data was collected by interviews, discussions, and observations. The variables, namely host, agent, and environment, were identified as risk factors, then risk analysis was carried out using the semi-quantitative technique by taking into account the level of frequency and severity. The risk evaluation was completed using the ALARP concept. Results: The causative factors of photokeratitis found within the host category were age and working period, which was considered moderate risk, and PPE use behavior, which was considered high risk. In the agent category, the intensity of UV exposure was considered high-risk. The environmental factors, namely working time, exposure distance, and welding location were considered moderate risk. Conclusion: The factors of photokeratitis still exist, thus continuous control efforts are needed.

Abstract

Introduction: The disease outcome of musculoskeletal disorders includes; serious occupational disorders and disabilities that are associated with the loss of useful working days and socioeconomic burden to the individual, the organization, and society at large. The aim of this study is to determine the work-related musculoskeletal disorders and associated risk factors among sugar factory workers. Methods: The cross-sectional study design was employed in this study in the workplace among 402 workers between two sugar factories. The self-structured Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Disorders questionnaire was administered. Data were analysed into descriptive statistics, binary logistic, and multiple logistic regression using SPSS vs. 26. Results: The results indicate that the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in the previous 12 months among sugar factory workers was 53%. The Lower back region has the highest prevalence of 52.2% and the lowest prevalence of 12.7% on Neck region. The following highlighted factors were significantly associated with the reporting of WRMSD among sugar factory workers during the last 12-months, such as; age of the respondents, educational status, work designation, monotonous task, standing for long periods, and time taken to carry out the task. Conclusions: Workers in sugar factories are constantly exposed to ergonomic hazards which predisposed them to WRMSD. If these situations are not prevented it might worsen the burden of WRMSDs among workers, result in cases of more absenteeism and low productivity.
