This study aimed to analyze the effect of heat stress on thephysiological and psychological workers at PT XYZ Year 2016. The businessunit of PT XYZ namely automotive parts with the activities of the press andwelding. Welding worker's physiological response to heat stress that anincrease in temperature, pulse and urine specific gravity value changes. Heatstress index value with WBGT exceeds the threshold value. Thermal WorkLimit Value Index is in the area is not dangerous. Data were analyzed bydependent and independent t test, p value < 0.005. Subjective complaints ofworkers welding as a psychological response. Namely their thirst, skin sweat/ moisture, their prickly heat, cramps / muscle cramps in tune with themeasurement results to an increase in pulse rate, temperature and specificgravity of urine.

Underground uranium mines pose physical hazards in the form of exposure to gamma radiation, radon gas and thoron. Uranium mine workers are at risk of getting lung cancer 3 to 6 times higher than the general public. To anticipate and control the risk from these exposures, a health risk assessment was carried out from the exposure to gamma, radon and thoron radiation in underground uranium mine workers. Measurements of gamma ray exposure and radon gas concentrations were carried out in the uranium exploration mine and around the workers' camp in the Kalan area, West Kalimantan. Gamma-ray measurements were carried out by gamma detector, while radon and thoron exposure were measured using a passive detector RADUET. As a result, the concentration of radon gas in the tunnel ranged from 188.84 to 495.86 Bq/m 3 (average 375.80 Bq/m 3 ) while thoron ranged from 58.07 to 340.73 Bq/m 3 (average 189.80 Bq/m 3 ). This value exceeds the reference level for the radon recommended by ICRP 300 Bq/m 3 . For annual effective dose of gamma rays, an estimated annual effective dose of 85.18 mSv was obtained in one group of workers. This value exceeds the annual dose limit value of 20 mSv for workers. From the results of the risk assessment, a risk value of C is obtained, which means that the risk cannot be accepted, and additional control measures are needed. Workers are exposed to chronic doses of radiation and can be exposed to stochastic effects that can induce cancer.
