Gold testing in mineral laboratories uses chemicals that are hazardous to workers' health, both the Fire Assay method, the aqua regia method and the cyanide leaching method. So it is necessary to know the risk rating of the chemicals and the testing methods used so that preventive measures can be determined from the potential for exposure to chemicals and even occupational diseases. In the XYZ Mineral Laboratory, a general risk assessment has been carried out through the HIRADC form, but a comprehensive assessment has not been carried out with the right method for worker health risks. The CHRA DOSH Malaysia (2018) method is very appropriate to be chosen in assessing the hazards of chemicals through inhalation and dermal routes. The health risks of gold testing in the XYZ Mineral Laboratory found that the qualitative inhalation exposure risk rating in gold testing with the aqua regia method was lower than gold testing with the fire assay method and the cyanide leaching method. The fire assay method has a risk rating = 25 (High Risk) the aqua regia digestion method = 9 (Moderate Risk), and the cyanide leaching method = 15 (High Risk). This is in line with the hazard assessment of each chemical used in gold testing with the fire assay method, the aqua regia digestion method and the cyanide leaching method which has the highest Hazard Rating (HR) value for gold testing with the fire assay method with a value of 5. While the risk rating assessment of dermal exposure obtained a value of 3 = H2 (high Risk) for the three gold testing methods. Control of hazards and health risks of gold testing at the XYZ Mineral Laboratory is running quite well, but for gold testing with the aqua regia digestion method and the cyanide leaching method, it is expected to be a priority in its control
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.
Latar Belakang: Gangguan Muskuloskeletal (MSDs) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan yang umum di kalangan pekerja, terutama perawat di Instalasi Gawat Darurat (IGD) rumah sakit. Perawat IGD sering melakukan aktivitas fisik intens seperti mendorong dan mengangkat pasien, yang meningkatkan risiko MSDs. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi risiko keluhan MSDs pada perawat IGD di Rumah Sakit XYZ. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional, yang melibatkan 15 perawat IGD di Rumah Sakit XYZ. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan kuesioner. Risiko postur kerja dinilai menggunakan Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) dan Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) 9011:2021. Hasil: Hasil menunjukkan bahwa keluhan MSDs tertinggi terjadi pada pinggang, bahu, dan leher. Aktivitas mendorong dan mengangkat pasien dengan teknik yang tidak ergonomis merupakan faktor risiko utama. Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi faktor risiko MSDs pada perawat IGD dan memberikan rekomendasi untuk perbaikan ergonomi guna meningkatkan keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja. Kata Kunci: Gangguan Muskuloskeletal, Perawat IGD, Risiko Ergonomi, Rapid Entire Body Assessment, SNI 9011:2021.
Background: Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are common health issues among workers, particularly nurses in hospital Emergency Departments (ED). ED nurses often engage in physically demanding activities such as pushing and lifting patients, increasing the risk of MSDs. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the risk of MSD complaints among ED nurses at XYZ Hospital. Methods: This is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach, involving 15 ED nurses at XYZ Hospital. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and the questionnaire. Work posture risk was assessed using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 9011:2021. Results: The results indicated that the highest MSD complaints occurred in the lower back, shoulders, and neck. The main risk factors were improper ergonomics in pushing and lifting patients. Conclusion: This study identified the risk factors for MSDs among ED nurses and provided recommendations for ergonomic improvements to enhance occupational safety and health. Keywords: Musculoskeletal Disorders, Emergency Room Nurses, Ergonomic Risk, Rapid Entire Body Assessment, SNI 9011:2021.
Cardiovascular disease is the first leading cause of death globally. Riskesdas data of 2013 shows that the highest prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Indonesia is coronary heart disease, which is 1.5%. This study aims to analyze the risk level of coronary heart disease (CHD) in workers at gold mining company PT Cibaliung Sumberdaya, Pandeglang 2017 based on risk factors of blood pressure, body mass index, smoking habit, diabetes mellitus, cholesterol, physical activity, and eating habits. The study design used in this research is descriptive cross sectional study with quantitative and qualitative approach. The sample of this study were amounted to 88 workers with quota sampling method. The risk level of CHD was calculated using the scoring method of Jakarta Cardiovascular Score. The results showed that 39 workers (44.3%) had low risk of CHD, 31 workers (35.2%) had medium risk of CHD and 18 workers (20.5%) had a high risk of CHD. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct treatment promptly on workers who have a high risk level and take anticipatory action on workers who have medium risk level as a form of promotive and preventive measures to prevent workers from coronary heart disease.
MCU data show the presence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in PT X employees who need attention so that prevented the incidence of cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of health promotion intervention on cardiovascular disease risk factors in gold mine worker PT X in Pandeglang 2017.The research design was quasi experimental with pre and post test controlled group design with 2 groups ie workshop and flyer group and flyer group.The results showed significant differences before and after intervention of health promotion programs on blood pressure, BMI, blood glucose, physical actifity, but there were no significant differences before and after intervention of health promotion program on score smoking. The company is advised to develop a comprehensive health promotion program in accordance with Ottawa Charter.
