The focus of this study is the exposure assessment of handling Dangerous Goodsbenzene and xylene in Industrial Chemical Specialties Department at PTABCIndonesia. The purpose of this study is to analyze the exposure of benzeneand xylene also to evaluate the control programs of dangerous chemical exposure.This study is a qualitative research with descriptive interpretive. The data werecollected by open questionnaires and environment monitoring by personalsampling method to ensure the level of air quality. From the results, theresearcher suggests that workers need to increase awareness regarding personalprotective equipment used especially when handling dangerous goods chemicals.Company also has to improve management of personal protective equipmentwhich involved all workers who contact with dangerous chemicals. Company alsohas to improve preventive maintenance programs to equipments related withhandling benzene and xyleneKeywords:Exposure Assessment of Dangerous Goods, Benzene, Xylene.
Setiap tahun, perusahaan penyedia jasa transportasi bahan berbahaya (B3) meningkat. Selain aspek lingkungan dan ekonomis, aspek keselamatan kerja juga merupakan faktor yang penting dalam pemilihan perusahaan jasa transportasi B3. Kerugian yang mungkin timbul karena kecelakaan transportasi B3, yakni nyawa (fatalitas), cedera, pencemaran lingkungan, masalah komersial hingga masalah hukum. PT X, perusahaan multinasional bidang specialty dumical, menggunakan rekanan perusahaan jasa pengangkutan dalam pengiriman produk ke pelanggan. Beberapa specialty chemical yang diproduksi PT X digolongkan sebagai bahan berbahaya (B3). Salah salu kecelakaan transportasi B3 terjadi pada bulan September 2008 di daerah Beli1as, Riau. Tujuan penelitian yakni mengidentifikasi penyebab langsung dan penyebab dasar terjadinya kecelakaan dengan rnetode Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) yang dikombinasikan dengan Loss Causation Model sehingga didapatkan gambaran system evaluasi rekanan kerja di bidang jasa pengangkutan B3. Bagan FTA disusun berdasarkan diskusi, data-data dan dokumentasi lainnya serta wawancara dengan perwakilan PT X dan rekanan kerjanya di bidang transportasi B3. Hasilnya yakni penyebab langsung kecelakaan adalah tindakan tidak selamat pengemudi (berupa pengereman mendadak dan membanting setir ke kiri) yang disebabkan kondisi tidak selamat (berupa keadaan jalan yang berlubang. Adanya kendaraan yang memotong dari kanan dan jarak dengan kendaraan di depan yang terialu dekat), Penyebab dasar kecelakaan tersebut yakni ierjadinya blind spot dan pengemudi tidak mengetahui jarak iring yang aman. Hal ini disebabkan (sub penyebab dasar) oleh tidak adanya pelatihan mengemudi defensif oleh rekanan kerja PT X, kurangnya kontrol manajemen rekanan kerja PT X. Sistem evaluasi rekanan kerja jasa pengangkutan B3 oleh PT X sabaiknya mencakup penilaian tersedianya perlengkapan darurat untuk transportasi B3 sesuai Surat Keputusan Direkorat Jenderal Perhubungan Darat No. 725/2004, kondisi kendaraan, kebugaran pengemudi, data kerusakan/kecelakaan.
There is tremendous growth of hazardous substances transporter company for the last 4 years, Beside economical value and environmental risk consideration. safety matter must be included as important parameter in the selection process of hazardous substances transporter partner. The potential losses that may occur because of the hazardous transportation accident are death (fatality), injury, environment contamination or damaged commercial issues and even law issues. PT X, a multinational company in specialty chemiool.is using transporter service in delivering their products to the costumers. Some of the specialty chemicals are considered as hazardous substances. One of the transportation driver?s right side and the distance to the next vehicle is too close). Furthermore, the root causes are driver's blind spot and the understanding of safe following distances. This is caused by sub root causes such as inadequate defensive driving training and Jack of management control done by the transportation provider company, The evaluation and assessment system of hazardous substances transportation provide must include the assessment to the adequate emergency tools for hazardous transportation as Ministry of Transportation regulation (Surat Keputusan Direktorat Jenderal Perhubungan Darat No. 725/2004), the vehicles liability, the driver condition and recorded previous
A various of organic solvents are used in PT SCI's testing laboratory, including benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX). BTX is known as a hazardous chemical and can pose a health risks, both acute and chronic. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a health risk assessment related to BTX exposure in order to assess the adequacy of the control methods that have been implemented in the PT SCI laboratory. This study assessed the health risks associated with inhalation of BTX exposure with the CHRA DOSH Malaysia method qualitatively and quantitatively and compared to the Singapore quantitative method SQRA, the level of risk associated with benzene exposure is in the high category, while exposure to toluene and xylene has a moderate risk. CHRA in quantitatively, benzene exposure (TWA measurement = 0.025 ppm) had a moderate risk (RR=5), while toluene (TWA measurement = 0.104 ppm) and xylene (TWA measurement = 0.077 ppm) had a low risk level (RR=2). By using the SQRA method, the risk level is moderate for benzene, and low for toluene and xylene. It can be concluded that the CHRA qualitative method overestimates the CHRA quantitative method; and quantitative methods CHRA and SQRA showed comparable results.
