Abstract

Introduction: Every workplace must make an occupational health effort to avoid health problems. Many workers underestimate the risks of the job and, therefore, do not use safety equipment even when available. The most often reported case of occupational skin illnesses, contact dermatitis, accounts for more than 85% of all cases. This study was conducted to occupational dermatitis and its relationship to personal protective equipment (PPE) use. Methods: The literature search was carried out in April 2021. The research sources were taken from several databases with the keywords dermatitis, occupational health, and personal protective equipment. The Google Scholar database found 17,710 articles, ScienceDirect found 1,264 articles, ProQuest found 888 articles, and PubMed found 452 articles. Of the entire database, only 36 articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: This literature review shows that dermatitis is experienced by workers in various sectors including health workers, hairdressers, scavengers, farmers, fishermen, manufacturing industry workers, printing workers, and construction workers. The use of PPE can reduce the risk of dermatitis. However, in some conditions, the use of PPE has no effect or can even cause dermatitis due to irritation and allergies to the ingredients contained in the PPE. The limitation of this research is that the articles that are the source of this review are only from 2016–2021.Conclusion: Dermatitis still occurs in various occupational sectors. The risk of dermatitis can be decreased by using PPE; however, it can also cause the occurrence of dermatitis itself.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypoxia is a condition characterized by insufficient oxygen supply to tissues which causes body tissues to fail to get adequate oxygen supply. Hypobaric hypoxia is generally recognized as the most serious physiological hazard during high-altitude flight. This puts active crew members at risk for hypoxia and so they rely on effective performance time (EPT) or time useful consciousness (TUC) to take appropriate corrective and protective actions when hypoxia occurs. This study aimed to describe TUC scores and hypoxia symptoms experienced by active flight crew at dr. Saryanto Health Institute of Aeronautics and Space in 2021. Methods: A descriptive research design using medical record data from 99 flight crew with simple random sampling. The variables in this study consisted of hypoxia symptoms and TUC scores. This study uses univariate analysis to see the frequency distribution of the variables of hypoxia symptoms and TUC score. Results: The results showed that 18.2% experienced cognitive symptoms, 4% experienced psychomotor symptoms, 16.2% experienced visual symptoms, 3% experienced psychological symptoms, 54.5% experienced non-spesific symptoms, and 37.4% did not feel any symptoms. Most of the flight crew (68.7%) had sufficient EPT/TUC scores (3-4 minutes). Conclusion: Active flight crews feel symptoms of hypoxia and have sufficient TUC scores.

Abstract

Introduction: Major industrial accidents or disasters can have significant impacts on various aspects, including human health, the environment, societal well-being, and national economies. The concept of safety culture is increasingly receiving attention as a means of mitigating industrial mishaps. Nonetheless, a dearth of comprehensive systematic reviews exists that specifically examine the important role of safety culture in effectively mitigating severe industrial accidents across diverse industries on a global scale. Hence, the primary aim of this research is to examine the important role of safety culture in the effective management of industrial accidents across diverse sectors. Method: The systematic literature review (SLR) from the ScienceDirect database was established using the four basic procedures outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A total of thirty-three scholarly publications were retrieved from the database, encompassing the years 2017 to 2021, which specifically address the important role of safety culture in the effective management of major industrial incidents. Results: The findings yielded two primary themes, namely, the significance of safety culture at both the managerial and employee levels. These topics were then categorised into ten subthemes. The findings indicate that safety culture exerts a significant influence at the managerial level in mitigating industrial accidents through the enhancement of safety training. Conclusion: In summary, a safety culture holds significant importance within the realm of management as it serves to effectively mitigate the occurrence of industrial accidents in the years to come.

Abstract

Introduction: Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) problems need to be addressed because the cause of the high number of work accidents is work fatigue. One of the factors that causes work fatigue is workload. Coastal women, who are identified as a marginal group with a low level of education, have a large role in fishing households and have a high workload. This research aims to analyze work fatigue based on workload. Methods: This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The respondents involved were fishermen's wives who lived in the research locus (Puger District). The number of respondents in this study was 75 people using proportional stratified random sampling techniques. The quantitative data collected include sociodemographic factors, namely demographic factors (age and body mass index) and work factors (work period, workload, and work climate), as well as work fatigue factors. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and measurements. The data in this study were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient test which was presented in table form accompanied by narrative. Results: The results show that 44.0% have a level of heavy work fatigue. The risk factors of age, working time, and workload have a significant relationship with work fatigue at work. Body mass index (BMI) and work climate were not significantly related to work fatigue. Conclusion: The high workload of women fish processors causes a lot of work fatigue, so it requires attention from industry owners to manage working time.

Abstract

Introduction: Potential ergonomic hazards at work can lead to complaints of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The Global Burden of Disease estimated that, by 2019, there were about 1.71 billion people in the world living with musculoskeletal problems. One of the jobs that has this risk is librarians because their jobs are dominated by static postures. This study aims to determine the correlation between work posture and body mass index (BMI) with MSDs complaints among librarians at Universitas Airlangga. Methods: This study is an analytical observational research with a cross-sectional design. The sample of this study consists of the total population of librarians at Universitas Airlangga that met the inclusion criteria, totaling 28 librarians. Primary data were obtained through the direct distribution of questionnaires to librarians, observations of work posture and musculoskeletal complaints in librarians. The data in this study were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. Results: The research results showed that the level of mild MSDs complaints was reported by 7 librarians (25.0%), moderate complaints by 13 librarians (46.4%), and severe complaints by 8 librarians (28.6%). The statistical test results indicate a strong and positive correlation between work posture and MSDs complaints (r = 0.444), while a weak and positive correlation was found between BMI)(r = 0.222) and years of service (r = 0.158) with musculoskeletal disorders complaints. Conclusion: This study concludes that librarians in high-risk work postures may experience musculoskeletal disorders complaints, especially in the neck, shoulders, and back areas.
