Faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Perilaku Selamat pada Pengemudi Pengangkut Bahan Kimia Berbahaya PT Aneka Gas Industri, Sidoarjo

PT. Aneka Gas Industry was one of business, that was engaged in production and distribution sector of industryal gases includedoxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), Argon (Ar), Acetylene (C2H2), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), which were distributed by usingroadtank, and pick-up trucks. The transportingprocess could affect spills, leaks, and fatal conditionssuch as fire and explosion. Therefore, the safety behavior of the driverswas very important thingto prevent accidents. This research aimed to study about factors related to the safetybehavior of the drivers who tranportthose hazardous chemicals. This research was a descriptive observation, with cross-sectional design. The subjects were 17 roadtank driversandpick-up truck drivers. The research variables were predisposing factors (age, education level, work experience, knowledge, and attitudes), enabling factors (availability of facilities), and reinforcing factors (policy and companysanction, supportsfromfriends, leaders and supervisors).The results showed that the safetybehaviors of the driversat PT. Aneka Gas Industry Sidoarjo, who belong to behave safe, were9 people (52.9%). The correlation strength between each variable were analyzed using contingency coefficient test (C). The results showed that there was a sufficient relationship between the working period (C = 0.441), knowledge (C = 0.507), and supportsfrom workers (C = 0.441)towards the safety behavior. There was a low correlation between age (C = 0.392), education level (C = 0.271), and attitudes (C = 0,229) towards the safety behavior. There was a very low correlation in each availability of facilities (C = 0.91), company policies and sanctions (C = 0.179), as well as support fromleadersand supervisors(C = 0.70) towards the safety behavior.It was suggested to the company to provide such as training and socialization about safetybehaviors in working, giving complete facilities and supervising thedrivers based on current schedule,andalso giving astrict sanctionto thedrivers who break the rules.

Factors Associated with Respiratory Complaints on Spinning Labor in PT. Lotus Indah Textile

The main contaminant of cotton dust is generated during the spinning process in PT. Lotus Indah Textile, Surabaya so that the workforce has the risk of occupational diseases, especially respiratory diseases. To prevent or reduce the incidence of cotton dust in the workplace, it is necessary prevention and control efforts.The purpose of this study was to analyze factors associated with respiratory complaints in the spinning labor in PT. Lotus Indah Textile, Surabaya.This study uses observational methods are analyzed analytically. Objectives of this study consisted of 54 people working on the mixing process of spinning cotton dust.

Control efforts undertaken include mechanical or engineering control with dust collector, with the administrative control of training, maintenance, housekeeping, sanitary facilities health and safety, job rotation and controlling the use of PPE (masks).It is recommended to do the procurement of personal protective equipment. Cleanup should be cleaned by wetting. Education and training should be done about the dangers of cotton dust on a continuous worker. And needs to be done by monitoring the workplace environment and the maintenance company.Key words: respiratory complaints, cotton dust, and control effort

Hubungan Posisi Kerja dengan Keluhan Muskuloskeletal pada Unit Pengelasan PT. X Bekasi

This study was conducted to analyze the relation between body position with musculoskeletal complaints in welding unit of PT. X Bekasi. Welding is an important part of a steel fabrication company. Workers in the welding influenced by the position of work, the posture of their body of work and performance at work. Jobs that forced the labor to not an ergonomic posture when working cause workers had faster experience fatigue and indirectly provide additional workload. Health effects that arised as a result of an unergonomic worked postures are musculoskeletal disorders .This research is an observational research with cross sectional approach design. 32 workers were chosen as sample by using simple random sampling technique. Data were obtained by measuring, observing used Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), and filling out questionnaire Nordic Body Map (NBM). Spearman rho correlation test was used to analyse the relation between variables. As many as 68.6% workers had a weak risk of having musculoskeletal disorder (REBA score of 4-7) and 62.5% workers had a weak level of musculoskeletal complaint. Based on the results of this study concluded that body position were significantly related to musculoskeletal complaints. There was a weak significant relationship between body position and musculoskeletal complaints (pvalue= 0.005). It is suggested to companies that provide training on ergonomic working position when welding perform
