The samples in this study were 30 people who were the total population of public transport drivers. The data analysis using regression linear test. Result: The majority of the drivers are in the majority aged 52-59 years old at 30.0%. The 1-6 year work period is 30.0%. Work attitude in the medium category is 90%. Conclusion: There is an influence of age, years of service and work attitude towards musculoskeletal disorder’s complaints on Gajah Mada public transport drivers Medan.

Abstract

Background: Nowadays, female workers are vulnerable to workplace hazards. One of the groups who are highly vulnerable to the exposure of workplace hazards is female waste pickers. This study focused on breathing problems in female waste collectors. The present study aimed to determine the effect of work behavior and work environment on respiratory complaints in female waste pickers at Terjun Landfill in Medan City. Methods: It was a cross sectional study in which the independent variables were work behavior and work environment, while the dependent variable was health complaints, respiratory complaints in particular. Work behavior was measured by collecting the data of protective mask use, while the data of work environment was collected by exploring the concentration level of CH4 and H2S at Terjun Landfill in Medan City. A total of 53 female waste pickers were participated as research sample. The data was analyzed by performing multiple linear regression calculation. Conclusion: It was obtained that there was an effect of work behavior (p=0.047) and concentration level of CH4 (p= 0.000) on respiratory complaints in female waste pickers at Terjun Landfill. However, it was found that H­2S concentration level did not have an effect on respiratory complaints in female waste pickers at Terjun Landfill in Medan City. This study suggests that Sanitary and Park Office of Medan City can work together with related stakeholders to cultivate methane emissions (C­­H4) to become energy source to reduce air pollution at waste landfill, whereas to female waste collectors, this study suggests that they can regularly use protective mask to minimize the risk of hazardous gas at workplace.

Abstract

Pekerja yang berada  di lingkungan panas ( furnaces, peleburan, boiler, oven,) atau di bawah terik matahari beresiko mengalami tekanan panas yang dapat menimbulkan kelelahan kerja. Kelelahan merupakan kondisi penurunan efisiensi tubuh.yang dapat mempengaruhi produktifitas kerja. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis faktor yang mempengaruhi kelelahan fisik pada pekerja bagian molding plant di PT. Pacific Medan Industri. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif analitik yang bersifat cross sectional. sampel pada penelitian ini berjumlah 40 orang yang diambil secara purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data penelitian ini diambil dari data primer dan sekunder. Analisa data menggunakan uji regresi linear berganda.  Hasil penelitian univariat menunjukkan bahwa pekerja di PT. Pacific Medan Industri rata-rata berusia 25 tahun, tekanan panas bersuhu rata-rata 32,7oC, pekerja mengkomsi air sebanyak rata-rata 7 gelas setiap hari. Sedangkan hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan  tidak ada pengaruh usia (p=0,252) dan konsumsi air (p=0,330)  dan terdapat pengaruh tekanan panas (p=0,000) terhadap kelelahan fisik pada pekerja bagianmolding plant di PT. Pacific Medan Industri. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa adanya pengaruh tekanan panas dengan kelelahan kerja fisik pada pekerja bagian molding plant. Disarankan pihak perusahaan memperhatikan kondisi molding plant dengan dibuatnya ventilasi yang lebih banyak dan melakukan pengukuran tekanan panas secara berkala.
