Abstract

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders in Indonesia require attention due to their high prevalence. Woven bamboo craft production involves unnatural body postures at every stage, leading to potential injuries. Assessing musculoskeletal complaints can provide valuable data for ergonomic risk assessment. This study aims to analyze such complaints based on the working positions of bamboo weavers. Methods: This research is descriptive. The population in this study was all woven bamboo craftsmen with a total of 430 people. The total sample was 86 craftsmen from 20% of the population for descriptive research. The variables studied included work position and musculoskeletal complaints. Data collection was done by observation and survey. Data were analyzed descriptively by displaying the calculation results of the risk level of work positions and the risk level of musculoskeletal complaints. Results: Most of the work positions of craftsmen are in the medium-risk category (54.7%). The working position of the craftsmen who have very high-risk category is at the stage of making woven bamboo and finishing. The highest level of discharge risk is in the low complaint category (60.5%), and the high category of musculoskeletal complaints is at the stage of making the woven. Conclusion: The working position of the woven bamboo craftsmen is directly proportional to the complaints they feel. Intervention is needed to reduce the risk of injury and reduce musculoskeletal complaints felt by workers, especially in workers with very high-risk working positions.

Abstract

Introduction: Bank workers who provide services to customers are required to have an optimal performance. They are vulnerable to stress that can interfere with their performance. Stress causes an increase in sebaceous glands, resulting in seborrheic dermatitis and an increase in hormones. This can cause contraction of the uterine muscles which can lead to dysmenorrhea. This study aims to determine the relationship between occupational stress and dysmenorrhea and seborrheic dermatitis among female bank workers. Methods: This research followed an analytic observational cross-sectional design using primary data from female workers at SumSel Babel Bank A. Rivai Branch. The sample consisted of 75 female bank workers, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were selected using consecutive sampling. The independent variable in this study was occupational stress, while the dependent variables were dysmenorrhea and seborrheic dermatitis. Data were collected from primary data, the workplace stress scale questionnaire for occupational stress, the WaLIDD score for dysmenorrhea, and seborrheic dermatitis examination by a dermatologist. After obtaining the data, bivariate analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Results: Sixty respondents (80%) had occupational stress, 47 respondents (62.7%) experienced dysmenorrhea, and 69 respondents (92%) did not experience seborrheic dermatitis. The results of statistical tests showed that there was a relationship between occupational stress and dysmenorrhea in female bank workers with a p-value 0.000 and no significant relationship between stress and the incidence of seborrheic dermatitis with p-value 0.202. Conclusion: Occupational stress can cause health problems including dysmenorrhea in female workers.

Abstract

Introduction: Ship-to-shore (STS) crane operators strive for efficiency in their work, but they must take a hard look at their high-risk jobs. It is necessary to learn how to improve occupational safety and health. This study aims to investigate the problems faced by STS crane operators working in container ports and to understand the importance of fit-for-work monitoring procedures, particularly for individuals working in high-risk industries such as STS operators. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach, and data were collected through interviews and observations of STS operators and in-house clinic staff. Nine STS operators, two in-house clinic staff, and two safety, health, and environment (SHE) staff were interviewed. Results: This study found that container terminal companies emphasise two critical aspects for STS operators: productivity and occupational safety and health. STS operators face health problems, including physical and psychological problems, due to the fast-paced work system, sleep patterns, daily activities, and thoughts that are difficult to control. Employees have coping mechanisms to deal with fatigue, and stakeholders have effectively communicated the company's safety and health culture. Most stakeholders in a container terminal company want a fit-for-work monitoring system to make the business efficient and sustainable. Conclusion: The STS industry faces a significant problem with operator fatigue, which can negatively impact safety and productivity. This issue requires a comprehensive strategy, including legislation to regulate working hours and shift patterns, technology to combat fatigue, and operator education and training.

Abstract

Introduction: The mineral ore processing industry is a sector that can generate pollutants in the form of dust during the production, commonly known as respirable dust. This dust can enter the upper respiratory tract and lungs, thereby causing health problems to employees working in the mineral ore processing industry. This study aims to investigate health risks associated with exposure to dust in the mineral ore processing industry. Methods: Environmental Health Risk Analysis (EHRA) was used to assess dust exposure over the previous three years, following the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods (NMAM) 0600 for dust sampling measurement. Results: Seven locations with high dust emissions were considered for this study. The results of the respirable dust sampling showed that the concentrations in the previous three years ranged from 1,823 to 6,109 mg/m3, followed by a decrease in the following year to 0.049 to 2,715 mg/m3. Meanwhile, in the final year, the concentration of respirable dust ranged from 0.094 to 1.341 mg/m3. The calculated risk quotient (RQ) value for the previous three years remained below 1, indicating safety. Conclusion: Athough respirable dust was considered safe in the previous year, it is important to constantly control exposure due to continued high levels and the possibility of future increases
