Introduction: Work accidents can be caused by unsafe action factors in the field, such as not wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), not following work procedures, and not following work safety regulations. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors related to unsafe actions (unsafe behavior) in oil palm harvesters at PT Priatama Riau. Methods: This is an observational study. The study population consisted of 111 workers in the plantation harvester section. The research sample was calculated using the Slovin formula for as many as 86 workers. The independent variables consisted of OHS knowledge, attitudes, education, length of working period, age, OHS supervision, and OSH training. The dependent variable was Unsafe Action (unsafe behavior). Essential information was obtained through meetings, perceptions, and polls. The information collection instruments used in this study were survey sheets, agenda sheets, and cameras for documentation. Data analysis consisted of univariate and bivariate analyses. Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-squared statistical test. Results: The factors related to unsafe action/unsafe behavior in oil palm harvesters were sex, years of service, knowledge, attitudes, OHS supervision, OHS training, and unsafe conditions. Conclusion: Judging from the factual test as a whole or together, the factors of tenure, gender, attitude, knowledge, OSH supervision, OSH training, work equipment, and unsafe conditions are related to Unsafe Actions.

Introduction: The assessment of dermal exposure is a complex task. The most commonly used methods have fundamental problems, and there are large gaps in the documentation and validation of the known assessment methods. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of self-reported skin problems in laboratory technicians. Additionally, to determine if there is an association between self-reported skin problems and work tasks and other exposure-related parameters, we developed a simple qualitative questionnaire that may be used for conducting qualitative dermal exposure assessments. Methods: A well-structured survey questionnaire was developed and 45 laboratory technicians were interviewed while conducting qualitative dermal exposure assessments in three selected laboratories. The sampling technique was a qualitative survey conducted through interviews. The examined variables included skin problems, work characteristics, and chemicals used. Results: This study indicated that 18% of technicians reported having skin problems, most notably inexperienced technicians or technicians with more than 6 years of experience. Skin problems were also identified in technicians who worked between one and eight hours, performed manual operations, and handled solvents. The prevalence of skin problems has also been associated with changing gloves. However, no significant differences were observed between the examined parameters and skin problems (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of self-reported skin problems (18%) among laboratory technicians was not high. The prevalence of dry skin was low (11%). A well-structured questionnaire can be used to conduct a qualitative dermal risk assessment. As this was a cross-sectional study with a small sample size, it was not possible to establish a causative effect between exposure to workplace hazards and dermal problems.

Introduction: Work stress is the inability of a worker to face job demands, leading to discomfort while working. Work stress can be caused by many factors, among them work monotony, excessive workload, and individual characteristics. This study’s aim was to analyze the strength of the relationship among individual characteristics, work monotony, and mental workload with work stress on the crane operators of Jamrud Terminal. Methods: This study used cross-sectional design. The population in this study was all crane operators in Jamrud Terminal as many as 28 people. Total sampling was applied as sampling technique. The independent variables in this study include individual characteristics (age and tenure), work monotony obtained from the questionnaire, mental workload which was appraised using NASA-TLX questionnaire, while the dependent variable was work stress assessed with DASS 42 questionnaire. Coefficient contingency and Spearman correlation test were applied to analyze collected data. Results: This study revealed 13 operators (46.4%) felt normal work stress and the other operators (53.6%) felt work stress ranging from light until very heavy. Contingency coefficient correlation test resulted in weak relationship among age and work stress and strong relationship among work monotony and work stress. Spearman correlation test revealed weak relationship among tenure and work stress and moderate relationship among mental workload and work stress. Conclusion: There were relationships among work monotony and mental workload with work stress on crane operators. The company is advised to give work music, variation on work, and arrange proper break time for crane operator.

Introduction: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the work culture in Indonesia has changed. Many companies are implementing the Work From Home (WFH) system. This can cause a dilemma for the workforce due to the assumption that home is a place to rest, not to work. The benefits can be felt since the implementation of Work From Home (WFH). However, there are also negative impacts can be felt by the workforce due to disturbances outside of work. Conflicts between families are also common. The purpose of this study is to determine the strong relationship between marital status and mental workload with work stress in Work From Home (WFH) workers. Methods: This study is a survey research and used a cross-sectional study. The sample in this study is total population of workers in the Group of Digital BolaSport Kompas Gramedia Jakarta, which is 20 people. The variables used in this study were marital status, mental workload, and work stress. The data in this study were obtained by filling out questionnaires about individual characteristic (marital status), mental workload, and work stress. Results: Most of the workers have not married status (60%), high mental workload (55%), and medium work stress (55%). The correlation coefficient value between marital status and work stress is 0.373. Meanwhile, between mental workload and work stress it is 0.667. Conclusion: In Work From Home workers, there is a weak relationship between marital status and work stress. Besides that, there is a strong relationship between mental workload and work stress.

Introduction: Tasik Agung Coastal Fishing Port handles the most fish unloading activities in Rembang, which include high and strenuous work with no rest before the activity is completed, long work duration as well as high work demand, work fatigue, work period, and workload. In the professional world, human resources are said to be productive if they complete their tasks and fulfill their responsibilities on time. This study aims to analyze the factors related to the productivity of fish unloading workers. Methods: This study is an analytical observational study applying quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. The population examined in this study was 100 fish unloading workers. Sampling was carried out offline through the accidental sampling technique, or the determination of samples by chance, in which potential respondents were selected from coincidental meeting with the fish unloading workers. The main data sources are direct measurements of variables, questionnaires, surveys, and interviews. Meanwhile, the secondary data as supporting information were obtained from journals of previous related studies. The data analysis used Spearman's rank correlation test. Results: The study did not find any relationship between work fatigue (p-value = 0.419) and workload (p-value = 0.975) with worker productivity. On the other hand, work period is proven to significantly related to worker productivity (p-value = 0.001). Conclusion: Work fatigue and workload are not related to the productivity of fish unloading workers. Meanwhile, there is a relationship between work periods and worker productivity. The increase in job mastery and work periods are followed by an increase in worker productivity.

Introduction: Work fatigue can be caused of excessive workload and work capacity such as age and tenure. This study aimed to analyze the strength of the correlation between individual factors and mental workload with work fatigue on the Surabaya Patchouli Terminal crane operator. Methods: The study design is a cross sectional. The sampling technique taken was total sampling so that all populations were a sample of 30 people, consisting of CC and RTG operators in Nilam Terminal Surabaya. The independent variables are individual factors including age and years of service obtained from the questionnaire, mental workload which is assessed based on the NASA-TLX questionnaire, while the dependent variable is work fatigue measured using a reaction timer. The collected data were then analyzed using the Spearman correlation. Results: The results show 23 operators (76.7%) experienced heavy work fatigue and 7 operators (23.3%) experienced moderate work fatigue. Conclusion: The strongest correlation is mental workload with work fatigue and the weakest correlation is age with work fatigue. Meanwhile, correlation tenure with work fatigue is in between. It is recommended to provide psychological consultation once a week for operators.

Introduction: Sugar Factory (PG) Ngadiredjo is one of the manufacturing industry sectors where there are various stages of the production to process sugarcane into white crystal sugar. One of the risks of accidents in each production process is due to worker behavior. This study aims to analyze the strength of the correlation between awareness, motivation, and perception with safe behavior in engineering and processing section workers at PG Ngadiredjo Kediri. Methods: This research was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample of this study was 80 workers who were determined using the total population technique. Data collection techniques used questionnaires and safe behavior observations. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively using cross-tabulation and the Spearman correlation statistical test to determine the strength of the correlation between independent and dependent variables. Results: The results showed that most workers aged ≥ 36 years (42.5%), had a good level of awareness, good motivation, and fair perceptions. In addition, the results showed a strong correlation between awareness and perception with safe behavior and a very strong correlation between motivation and safe behavior. Conclusion: Based on the research results, there is a strong correlation between awareness and perception with safe behavior and a very strong correlation between motivation and safe behavior. The level of awareness, motivation, and perceptions of a worker will directly influence the level of his safe behavior.

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.
