Occupational exposure to insecticides can pose serious health risks, ranging from skin irritation to systemic effects. This study assessed dermal exposure levels among ten female pest control technicians using the DREAM method. Results showed all tasks had very low exposure levels, with a total score of 8.89; the highest was during equipment washing (2.54). Other tasks like pouring, mixing, and spraying also had low scores. Although PPE was used, direct contact still occurred due to inappropriate PPE types and low compliance. Improved OHS training, regular supervision, and provision of appropriate, female-responsive PPE are essential to ensure a safer work environment.
The focus of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of PT. X’s employees health protection program during haze period due to PM 2.5 exposure at office. Quantitative-descriptive approach is used to evaluate the program effectiveness by comparing each variable of PM 2.5 concentration at work area, and office worker’s (occupant) acute respiratory complaints between Haze and Nonhaze Periods. Statistic test result shows significant difference for PM 2.5 median, and acute respiratory complaints between both periods. It concludes PT. X’s program to control PM 2.5 indoor concentration through isolation and air purifier is ineffective. It impacts to occupant’s health risk for exposed with PM 2.5 at office work area, which confirmed with statistic difference for acute respiratory complaints between Haze and Nonhaze Periods. It concludes PT. X’s Program in Z Office Riau is not effective to prevent acute respiratory complaints. This research suggests PT. X to set and monitor performance indicator target of each program, and to focus to improve safe behavior of its workers as mitigation during haze. This research also suggest government to enforce forest fire prevention and response, and to update ambient air quality standard for PM 2.5 to be aligned with WHO Air Quality Guideline (2006).
