IDENTIFIKASI POTENSI BAHAYA KERJA DAN PENGENDALIAN DAMPAK DI UNIT PRODUKSI PALM KERNEL CRUSHING PT. WILMAR CAHAYA INDONESIA PONTIANAK TAHUN 2014

Abstract

Background:
Industrialization is the central to economic development and
improved prospects for human well-being. Industrial workers are at higher
risk of health conditions. Occupational hazards includes chemical hazards,
physical hazards, biological hazards, ergonomic hazards, and psychology
hazards. Hazards identification is needed to minimize the potential safety
and health among industrial workers.
Objective:  To determine the
potential occupational hazards and control of impact on palm kernel
crushing at PT. Wilmar Cahaya Indonesia 2014.
Methods:  This study
used a qualitative study to explore more about potential occupational
hazards at PT. Wilmar Cahaya Indonesia 2014. The sampling techniques
that was used in this study was purposive sampling and data were
analyzed using triangulation method.
Results: The chemical hazards are
caustic soda chemicals, exposure to dust, and fume. Physical hazards are
noise, vibration, poor lighting, heat temperature, and radiation. Biological
hazards includes clean water area, latrine and landfills. Ergonomic
hazards include non-ergonomic working position. Psychological hazards
are night work hours and workload. Control of impact is done to control
occupational hazards. Controlling the impact using administrative are
training, safety sign, and housekeeping. Controlling the impact is done
using personal protective equipment such as ear plug, safety helmet,
safety shoes, gloves, welding gloves, welding mask, safety googles, and
mask
. Conclusions: Potential hazards on palm kernel crushing PT.
Wilmar Cahaya Indonesia are chemical hazards, physical hazards,
biological hazards, ergonomics hazards, and psycology hazards.
Controlling the impact that has been done by PT. Wilmar Cahaya
Indonesia are administrative control and the use of personal protective
equipment.
Keywords: Identification of potential occupational hazards, control of
impact.
