Identification of Occupational Health and Safety's Hazards in Formwork Fabrication Area of Building Construction Project

2024-09-23T19:07:15+00:00

Background: Potential hazards are a threat to the safety and health of workers. Formwork fabrication as a woodworking area to create molds that will be used for the casting process of columns, beams and plates is not spared from potential hazards. Initial observations reveal some potential hazards that are of interest to be further identified. This study aims to identify potential hazards in the formwork fabrication area. The benefit is that it can be the basis for assessing risk and determining appropriate control determinants; Method: This type of research is a descriptive survey with an observational approach. The method used is a Walkthrough Survey with a hazard identification sheet instrument. Hazard identification is carried out based on UURI Number 1 of 1970 and PPRI Number 50 of 2012, namely identifying potential hazards sourced from humans, production materials, equipment, machinery, working methods and work environment; Results: Unsafe action; The use of materials that are large, heavy and have sharp edges; The use of hammers, saws, rotation of grinding blades, sparks, use of electrical connectors is not feasible; Works without structured flows and procedures; Vibration, noise, heat pressure, dust, fecal coliform, mosquitoes, centipedes, unstructured workstation layout, awkward posture, manual handling, and repetitive body movements are some of the potential hazards that have been successfully identified; and Conclusion: Each potential hazard has its own risk that has not been assessed in this study. Likewise, the determinants of its control have not been included in this study. For this reason, further research is needed to assess risks and determine control determinants based on the potential hazards that have been identified in this study.

Analysis of the Implementation of the Contractor Safety Management System (CSMS) in the Implementation Phase at PT X Ogan Komering

The high intensity of the project and stages of work at PT X Ogan Komering, so it requires contractors and subcontractors to operate in the area. Overall at PT X there are 70% of workers from contractors, so work accidents are more prone to occur in contractor workers, so it is important to ensure that contractors prioritize aspects of Occupational Safety and Health (K3). One approach to achieving this goal is to implement a CSMS, which ensures that contractors include OSH aspects in the project being undertaken. The implementation of CSMS often faces challenges, such as contractors' limited understanding of CSMS, for which efforts are needed to overcome these obstacles and prevent errors among workers that can cause incidents. The design of this study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study design with data collection from interviews, observations and document reviews. The Contractor Safety Management System (CSMS) consists of 2 Phases, namely Administration and Implementation, in the Implementation Phase consists of Pre-Work Assessment (PSB), Running Assessment (PB), and Final Assessment (PA). In general, the implementation of CSMS has gone well, this can be seen from the availability of SIKA, SIM-L and there is also Safety Induction as a step to minimize the risk of accidents. The supporting and inhibiting factor in the implementation of CSMS is the awareness of all parties involved. If awareness in the implementation of CSMS is lacking, its implementation will be hampered. The implementation of CSMS has been well underway and has succeeded in increasing OSH awareness and reducing work incidents, but it needs to increase supervision and socialization of contractor workers, especially in high-risk jobs.

Hazard Analysis and Occupational Safety and Health Risk (K3) with Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and Determining Control (HIRADC) in the Canopy Making Process at the Arivlas Workshop, Bantul Regency.

2024-08-14T07:37:27+00:00

Background: Most workers have not complied with the standard operating procedures in the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), apart from the lack of awareness of workers about the importance of using PPE, there are other factors, namely the Arivlas Workshop in Bantul Regency does not have occupational safety and health risk management so that the existing risks cannot be controlled which will cause the risk of work accidents when using machines, equipment and during the installation process. Method: This study is descriptive with a qualitative type of research that aims to obtain an overview of the analysis of safety and health risks in the canopy making process at the Arivlas Workshop in Bantul Regency. The research subjects were taken by purposive sampling, using HIRADC tools with data collection techniques through observation and interviews. The respondents in this study were 3 workers as the main informants, and workshop owners as key informants. Result: In the canopy making activity, a risk assessment of 20 risks included in the moderate risk category was still tolerable but action or handling was needed so that the risk could be reduced, and 15 high risks were unacceptable so attention was needed to take action or handle as soon as possible. Conclusion: The process of making canopies at the Arivlas Workshop in Bantul Regency has a high potential for hazards and risks to occupational safety and health, the dangers contained in canopy making activities are the dangers of movement, gravity, mechanics, electricity, chemicals, noise, and radiation. With the risk of hearing loss, feet hit by iron, scratches, electric shocks and the risk of inhaling chemicals such as paint and dust from polishing results.
