Introduction: industrial mining activities have the highest prevalence of NIHL due to operating a heavy vehicle. Dozer is one of the heavy vehicles with a high noise level. Methods: This study was descriptive research about risk factors related to hearing loss of 28 dozer operators at PT. X. The risk factors consisted of demographic factors, working behavior (listening to music, smoking), noise levels were analyzed with hearing loss using STS. Interviews were conducted with the workers and company representatives. Hearing loss examination used an audiometric test to determine the STS of the operators with the result that positive more than 10 dB and negative at 10 dB or less. All the data is secondary. Results: noise level of all dozers exceeds the TLV (>85dB) operated for 10 hours a day and six days a week. Half of the dozer operators had STS (+) occurred at age 40 years and older, working for more than five years, not use the PPE or misused, the habit of listening to music and smoking. Conclusion: noise and demographic factors can increase the risk of hearing loss in dozer operators. The company must control by combining plywood, foam, tray, and coir material in the dozer cabin, which can reduce 31.94 dB and apply for PPE double protection.

Introduction: Environmental factors such as vibration can affect work fatigue. The previous research results showed that there was a relation between vibration and fatigue, with the use of ergonomic seats by bus drivers. Then conducting experimental research on making ergonomic seat padding made from coconut fiber to reduce the level of vibration and driver fatigue was investigated. The purpose of this research was to analyze the differences in seating vibrations and the bus driver fatigue who did not use a padding seat and one who used it. Methods: The research design was experimental. The research subjects were 42 bus drivers. The vibration intensity was measured using a vibrometer and work fatigue was measured using a reaction timer, then the data were analyzed by T-test. Results: Based on research results the vibration of bus drivers who did not use seat padding was greater than those who did (p=0.001). Those who used seat padding had lower mean fatigue than drivers who did not use it (p=0.001). Conclusion: Vibration and work fatigue in bus drivers who did not use a padding seat was greater than those who used it and the difference was statistically significant. The use of ergonomic seating for bus drivers was very useful for reducing vibration.

Introduction: Mining is a field of work that has a high potential of risk, both in terms of health risks and safety risks. In its business processes, environmental factors are one of the potential risks that cannot be avoided by every employee. Physical work environment factors are everything around the workplace that can affect workers, either directly or indirectly, and can cause health problems such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, fatigue, and dehydration. This study aims to determine the physical environmental factors that greatly influence employee productivity. Methods: This study used quantitative methods and the secondary data. Measurement of physical factors applied the standard Threshold Limit Value (TLV) in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia Number 05 of 2018. Measurements were carried out in the workshop areas, ports, heavy equipment units, and office spaces of each department. In this study, measurements of physical climate include work climate, placement, and lighting. Results: The physical work environment is found to be good enough despite being below the standard in some areas, e.g., the lighting at the administration desk, the noise in the generator room, and some heavy equipment such as bulldozers and dump trucks. Conclusions: The physical work environment is still considered safe and will not cause health problems. However, the arrangement of lighting conditions, work climate, and noise can be improved to meet the overall OHS standards and the evaluation of other work environment factors.Keywords: literature review, metal industry, occupational contact dermatitis.

Introduction: One of the ways to control hazards with an engineering approach in an effort to reduce hazards due to chemical reactions in the laboratory is to install a ventilation system, especially in the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The research objectives of this study are to evaluate the implementation of the Local Exhaust Ventilation System in the AAS room. Method: This study used a descriptive observational method with a cross-sectional approach. It was carried out at the Testing Laboratory of the Technical Implementation Unit (henceforth-UPT) of Occupational Safety Surabaya. Data collection was carried out through direct observation in the field to determine the LEV system components and to measure the flow velocity in the inlet and outlet areas of the LEV system. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively by describing the situation systematically and factually. The data were then presented in the form of narration, tabulation, and figures. Results: The conditions of the Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV), in terms of the design, type and material of each component such as the hood, ducting system and pump machine as well as the fan, are already in accordance with the tool specifications and ASHRAE standards. However, the LEV system has not installed an air cleaner. The results of the measurement show that flow velocity in the LEV system has met the standard, which is 10 m/s with the danger of fume contaminants. In fact, its volumetric flow rate has decreased by more than 20%. Conclusion: laboratory management is advised to consider installing an air cleaner on the LEV system installed in the Hitachi AAS so that contaminants released in the air are cleaner and more environmentally friendly.Keywords: hazard control, laboratory, local exhaust ventilation, ventilation

Data collection was carried out through direct observation in the field to determine the LEV system components and to measure the flow velocity in the inlet and outlet areas of the LEV system. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively by describing the situation systematically and factually. The data were then presented in the form of narration, tabulation, and figures. Results: The conditions of the Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV), in terms of the design, type and material of each component such as the hood, ducting system and pump machine as well as the fan, are already in accordance with the tool specifications and ASHRAE standards. However, the LEV system has not installed an air cleaner. The results of the measurement show that flow velocity in the LEV system has met the standard, which is 10 m/s with the danger of fume contaminants. In fact, its volumetric flow rate has decreased by more than 20%. Conclusion: laboratory management is advised to consider installing an air cleaner on the LEV system installed in the Hitachi AAS so that contaminants released in the air are cleaner and more environmentally friendly.Keywords: hazard control, laboratory, local exhaust ventilation, ventilation","PeriodicalId":33133,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Journal of Occupational Safety and Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45828750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction: A Surabaya customer service company provides 24-hour call center services by implementing a work shift system, even though not all employees can adjust to work shifts. New employees must perform some adjustment or adaptation to their job. They must remain calm and patient in providing information and solving problems that customers convey, resulting in a very high mental needs of each call center agent. Monotonous activity and unpleasant customers trigger work stress on employees, which is marked by complaints of dizziness after work and emotional feeling. The objectives of this study was to analyze the correlation between years of works and work shifts with job stress in call center agents of the Surabaya customer service company. Methods: This study was a descriptive observational study with a cross sectional study design. The population in this study was all call center agents of a customer service company in Surabaya. The samples were 45 respondents, obtained through random sampling. Data were obtained from answered questionnaires and were analyzed using the contingency coefficient test. Results: Most call center agents had years of work of ≥ 1-3 years (53.3%). They also experienced very heavy job stress (51.1%). The results of the contingency coefficient was 0.436. The majority of call center agents experienced very heavy job stress, specifically those working in the morning shift (53.3%), day shift (40%) and night shift (60%). The results of data analysis using the contingency coefficient test was 0.338. Conclusion: There was a moderate correlation between years of work and job stress. There was a low correlation between work shifts and job stress.Keywords: years of work, work shift, job stress
