The construction sector is ranked first as the most dangerous occupation in the world and is an area with a high risk of occupational accidents. According to BPJS Ketenagakerjaan data in 2019, cases of work accidents in Indonesia 2017 increased in 2018. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between age, OHS knowledge, OHS supervision, unsafe act, and unsafe condition for building construction project workers at PT. X. This research was quantitative study with a cross-sectional study design. The sampling technique used simple random sampling where the sample amounted to 109 workers. The results of the research analysis using the chi-square statistical test showed that the variables of age (p-value = 0,662), OHS knowledge (p-value 0,003), OHS supervision (p-value 0,001), unsafe act (p-value 0,002), unsafe condition (p-value 0,000) with a significance limit of α = 0,05. It can be concluded that there is an associated between OHS knowledge, OHS supervision, unsafe act, and unsafe condition with work accidents and there is no associated between age with work accidents. It is recommended that companies provide education to workers in the form of providing OHS knowledge through the toolbox meeting program and periodically monitoring of conditions in the work field.
Jakarta Provincial Fire and Rescue Agency mentioned that the capital approximately has 900 high building, however only 20 % of them possessed adequate safety precaution. Data from the Jakarta Provincial Fire and Rescue Agency show that in 2018, 1,106 fire cases caused economic loss worth around Rp 151,498,186,111. Building X University Y is used every day with more than 500 occupants for education purpose. The aim of this study was to analyze fire engineering and administrative controls in the building according to the standards (National Fire Protection Association standards and the Regulation of Minister of Public Works No. 26/PRT/M/2008). This study used analytical descriptive design with direct observation as study method. The study was conducted in July 2018. The study found that the building has not met the adequate standards yet, such as active and passive protection systems, and the means of the evacuation system. There were no active protection systems. The only implemented passive protection system was a compartmentation system which divided the building into cells designed to resist the fire spread when it happens. There were no other passive protection systems found in the structure. All doors and windows were made of woods and glasses. There were no means of evacuation in the building. There were no administrative controls in the building. Appropriate controls are required in the building, involving fire engineering and administrative controls because the building lack of fire protective and precaution systems.Keywords: evacuation system, fire control, protection system
In the construction area there are many jobs that use hand-held vibration devices with the function of making holes, destroying and compacting concrete. Workers who use hand-held vibration devices have the potential to experience occupational diseases, especially Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). This study aimed to analyze the relationship between age, vibration exposure, years of service, use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and smoking with complaints of HAVS in workers at PT X in 2019. This type of research was quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. Samples of this study were all workers (64 workers) who used hand-held vibration devices. The results showed that the variables associated with HAVS complaints were age (p-value = 0.001), vibration exposure (p-value = 0.001), years of service (p-value = 0.042), use of PPE (p-value = 0.001) and smoking (p-value = 0.002). Based on these results, the company is expected to provide health workers which conduct periodic health checks, provide health information about HAVS, provide information regarding the importance of PPE and the dangers of smoking to the body and the workers are expected to take a rest for ten minutes per hour and must report to HSE officers if they feel the symptoms of HAVS.

Pekerja yang menggunakan alat vibrasi genggam berpotensi mengalami penyakit akibat kerja khususnya Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara umur, pajanan getaran, masa kerja, penggunaan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD), dan merokok dengan keluhan HAVS pada pekerja di PT X tahun 2019. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh pekerja yang menggunakan alat vibrasi genggam yang berjumlah 64 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel yang berhubungan dengan keluhan HAVS adalah umur (p-value = 0,001), pajanan getaran (p-value = 0,001), masa kerja (p-value = 0,042), penggunaan APD (p-value = 0,001), dan merokok (p-value = 0,002). Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, perusahaan diharapkan untuk menyediakan tenaga kesehatan yang melakukan pemeriksaan kesehatan berkala, memberikan informasi kesehatan mengenai HAVS, memberikan informasi terkait pentingnya APD dan bahaya rokok bagi tubuh serta para pekerja diharapkan untuk melakukan istirahat selama sepuluh menit perjam dan wajib melapor kepada petugas K3 bila merasakan gejala HAVS.

Salah satu dampak dari pandemi COVID-19 adalah meningkatnya prevalensi kecemasan tenaga kesehatan. Penelitian ini bersifat analisis kuantitatif dengan desain studi cross-sectional. Sebanyak 167 tenaga kesehatan yang bekerja di RSUD Pasar Rebo direkrut sebagai sampel menggunakan teknik convenience sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale yang disebarkan secara daring. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji Chi Square. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara jenis kelamin, usia, status pernikahan, status memiliki anak, bekerja sebagai perawat, dan beban kerja berat dengan tingkat kecemasan pada tenaga kesehatan. Diharapkan rumah sakit dapat mengambil upaya khusus untuk menjaga kesehatan mental tenaga kesehatan seperti memberikan konsultasi, mensosialisasikan mekanisme coping yang efektif pada tenaga kesehatan.
