Safety Hijab Design for Engineering Practical Usage Among Students by Kansei Engineering Method

Abstract

Workshop activity has to follow the regulation of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) in order to minimalize accident at the workplace. Every worker must put on Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to prevent him/herself from hazards in the workshop. Some PPE are helmet, protective clothing, safety shoes, gloves, etc. However, Muslim women, who work on the workshop, have a problem because there is no certain safety hijab for the PPE standardized. This research aims to analyze the criteria of safety hijab design used for the part of PPE. The data were collected using Kansei Method, i.e. designing preliminary research, compiling Kansei words, drafting Semantic Differential (SD) questionnaire, distributing the SD I questionnaire, conducting statistics analysis I, collecting product sample, developing design based on customers' preferences. From the collecting data result, it could be concluded that the Kansei words for safety hijab were the ergonomic factors and syar'i factors.
