The electricity sector is one of the riskiest jobs with disruptions due to exposure to heat stress. Heat stress occurs as a result of a combination of work environment factors, work factors and individual factors. This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional study design conducted in March-June 2022 with 58 respondents. The results showed that the apparent temperature ranged from 26oC - 42oC, with relative humidity ranging from 38.1% to 58.2% and dry bulb between 24.8oC to 37.7oC. After being assessed using a basic thermal risk assessment, it was found that the majority of respondents belonged to the low-moderate category, namely 28 respondents (48.3%), then very high as many as 15 respondents (43.1%) and high as many as 5 respondents (8.6% ). The measurement results show that there is no significant relationship between individual factors, namely age, body mass index, availability of drinking water, acclimatization status and health status with the level of risk of heat stress (p value <0.05). Based on this, the company is advised to make further efforts to control heat stress in the form of technical control, administrative control and also personal control to minimize the risk of heat stress.
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.
