Abstract

Introduction: Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) symptoms are experienced by 1.71 billion of the human population and are characterized by persistent pain that decreases the ability to work in almost all types of occupations, including laboratory workers. The various stages of work in laboratory can cause complaints due to repetitive motions, manual handling, static and awkward posture, as well as long-duration of work. Therefore, this study aimed to determine risk level of work ergonomic and MSDs symptoms among laboratory workers. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design involving 71 laboratory workers who were observed from 8 to 22 June 2022. The respondents were categorized into three Similar Exposure Group (SEG), namely administrative officers, analysts, and field workers. Risk level of MSDs symptoms and work ergonomic of each SEG was measured using the instrument of SNI 9011-2021, while individual factor was estimated through the questionnaire. Results: Out of the 71 respondents, the majority were males, aged <35 years, and had <5 years of work experience. The survey revealed that half of workers experienced MSDs symptoms with a high-risk level in analysts and field workers, particularly in the lower back. The highest MSDs symptoms in all SEG were neck, lower back, upper back, and right shoulder. Conclusion: Ergonomic risk level in laboratory was dangerous for analysts and field workers, and required further assessment by administrative officers. To reduce risk level of work ergonomic, particularly for analysts and field workers, engineering control and the use of manual handling equipment can be implemented.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the risks that may come from exposure to chemicals, physics, and biological agents in the interaction of processes in industrial activities, particularly in the business of making tofu in the tofu maker's environment, is a work-related skin disease. The number of years of employment, chemical exposure and the time spent each day, hand-washing routines, and the use of personal protective equipment while at work are additional risk factors known to influence the frequency of occupational skin disorders. This study seeks to obtain information about the symptoms and some risk factors of work-related skin diseases in tofu makers in Jalan Raya X, Cipayung District. Methods: The analytical cross-sectional design with a chi-square test was carried out with 50 tofu makers as the total research sample. Measurements were made using the modified Nordic Occupational Skin Questionnaire (NOSQ-2002)/LONG. Results: The study found that 46% (23 people) of tofu makers did experience symptoms of work-related skin diseases. As many as 84% (42 people) of tofu makers with a working period of more than 3 years, and as many as 96% (50 people) had exposure 3 hours per day. As many as 62% (31 people) had bad hand-washing habits, and 96% (48 people) did not fully use personal protective equipment. Conclusion: Improvement of supporting facilities and infrastructures in the production area, such as air circulation systems, modification of machinery and equipment, setting working hours, and providing proper cleaning facilities will increase the health status of workers.

Abstract

Introduction: TBS textile factory is one of several textile factories where the process of fabrics dyeing takes place. In the process, workers lift and transport cloth loads manually, and thus work routines make their body bend. TBS textile factory ignored the health and safety aspects of work procedures which could cause worker fatigue. Safe work behaviour may prevent occupational sickness if the company applies appropriate occupational safety and health procedures. The purpose of this study was to determine the reduction of worker fatigue in the dyeing process of woven fabrics by applying occupational safety and health procedures. Methods: This study used treatment by subject design, where all samples were subjected to control and treatment, in different time periods. In this design, the interval between the time periods required washing out and adaptation, to eliminate the effects of previous work. The research population were workers in charge of dyeing section at TBS textile factory located in Gianyar regency. This study was conducted in July 2021 by involving 20 samples selected through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected from occupational safety and health procedures (how workers lifted and transported loads), legal limitations, and worker postures. Data analysis was carried out using t-independent test. Results: There was a decrease in scores of worker fatigue. The two different tests showed the scores after the study were significantly different (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Occupational safety and health procedures can reduce fatigue among workers in charge of fabrics dyeing by 40.77%.
