Abstract

An increase in population, especially in developing countries can have a negative impact if it is not balanced with the welfare of the population. Therefore, Indonesia provides a policy to use contraceptive devices for the population. One contraception used is an IUDs. The concept of the IUD itself has reportedly had a negative impact, especially increasing colonization by Candida spp. due to the content of Curprum (Cu) from the IUD. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between duration of use and type of IUD at blood Cu levels in female workers using an IUD contraception. This research has never been done in Indonesia. The results showed that the majority of respondents used the Copper T type IUD, having an age range between 36-49 years with an average duration of IUD usage of 7.1-7.5 years with a mean value of Cu levels that exceeded the normal cuprum values allowed in the body. The IUD type variable has a moderate correlation between the levels of cuprum in the blood of workers (p = 0.435). The old variable using the IUD has a strong correlation with the cuprum levels in the blood of the respondents (p = 0. 74). Conclusion: The type of IUD and the duration of use of the IUD have a relationship with levels of Cu in the blood. Women who use an IUD are expected to consume foods that have a high content of antioxidants to reduce levels of Cu in the blood.

Abstract

Benzene is a dangerous chemical compound contained in Gas Station product. It is one of components in gasoline containing carcinogens. Gas station workers are prone to the risk of benzene due to continuous exposure, which can endanger their health and safety. This study was aimed to determine benzene concentration safe level at gas stations in Pancoranmas, Depok. The design of this study was article review based on reviews of previous studies that were then analyzed.

The result of the study showed that benzene concentration safe level limit at gas stations in Pancoranmas, Depok, based on the calculation done was 0.3 ppm. This value was different from the values set by international and national institutions such as OSHA, NIOSH, ACGIH, ATSDR, the Indonesian National Standardization Agency and the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia. Therefore, reviews are needed to provide health and safety guarantees for the gas stations’ workers. The control recommendation for the gas stations’ workers exposed to benzene was the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the form of respirator organic vapor to minimize benzene exposure and green open space by planting a number of ornamental plants to absorb and reduce benzene exposure such as Spider Plant, Boston Fern, Peace Lily, Dutch Beteland Golden Pothos.

Abstract

Operational processes in the leather industry use chemicals. One of them uses chromium sulfate as a tanner. Various studies have shown that there are health problems in tanning workers if exposed to chromium. The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between resting patterns and levels of chromium in the blood of workers. Using a cross sectional design, there were 10 workers studied specifically handling the tanner’s process with a minimum ten-year tenure. The results showed that all respondents had chromium levels exceeding the standard according to Jantzen namely 1.6 μg/L-5.1 μg/L. The pattern of rest includes staying up late has a weak correlation with the levels of chromium in the blood, total rest also has a weak correlation with the levels of chromium in the blood, as well as rest at night. The metabolic process in the body plays a role in removing chromium toxins as long as workers carry out adequate resting activities. In conclusion, exposure to chromium during the tanning process causes high levels of chromium in the blood. The existence of a weak correlation between the break pattern variables shows that these variables do not affect significantly. Suggestions that workers use personal protective equipment so as to minimize exposure to chromium and take advantage of rest periods optimally.

Abstract

Loading and unloading of container goods is carried out using cranes and truck containers as a means of transportation besides facilitating activities, which can also lead to the risk of workplace accidents. In 2014 there was a work accident in Kuningan Jakarta, workers were crushed by a container during the loading and unloading process. Container loading and unloading is a routine activity carried out at PT. Pelabuhan Indonesia II (Persero) Palembang Branch. This activity involves tools that can cause accidents such as being hit by a container and hit by a truck head, therefore a risk assessment is carried out on container loading and unloading work. The purpose of this study was to analyze occupational safety risk assessments on container loading and unloading work. This study uses a qualitative research design, using Job Safety Analysis (JSA) for the risk identification process, the US/NZ 4360: 1999 semi-quantitative risk assessment table for risk analysis and semi-quantitative risk level Cross (1988) for risk evaluation. The results of the study indicate that container loading and unloading work consists of the preparation stage, the operation phase of the QCC and the stage of moving containers. The risks identified based on the stage of work are overtaken by containers, falling from heights, collisions between head trucks, falling lifts, hit by a lock lock, getting hit by a truck head, falling into the river, collisions between QCCs and electric shock. The hazards included in the acceptable risk category include being crushed by repair equipment, hands pinched, tripping, slipping lubricants and head banging. The suggestion of this research is that all activities in the field should be carried out in accordance with the applicable regulations and supervision should be carried out more specifically in the use of PPE and conduct periodic health checks on workers.

Objectives: To analyse individual factors with types of sickness absence.

Method: Retrospective study design. Data collection was done using secondary data in the form of sickness absence data report of hospital in 2017. A binary logistic regression test was used to identify the significance of correlation of age, sex, years of service and marital status correlation with types of sickness absence.

Results: Of 416 workers, 100 people submitted 163 sickness absence letter with the total of 653 days. Women workers with age range of 26-45, who were married and with 5 years of service were the group with the most sickness absence. Short term sickness absence was the most common type. The results of multivariate binary logistic regression showed that age (p value = 0.659 and Exp (B) = 0.783), sex (p value= 0.929 and Exp (B) = 0.945), years of service (p value = 0.620 and Exp (B) = 0.866), marital status (p value = 0.773 and Exp (B) = 0.837) variables were not significant.

Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between individual factors and type of sickness absence.
