Chapter : 11,12

4. Applying Occupational health and safety in: • Agriculture • Construction site sector • Transportation Sector (Land, Water and Air) • Petroleum, gas and mining sector • Industrial sector • Office environment

5. 1. Agriculture • Worldwide, more people work in agriculture than in any other industry • Farm work remains one of the most labor intensive and lowest paid occupation

6. Contact with infected animals • Dermatitis among agricultural workers has been associated with exposure : - a variety of chemical agents including pesticides - sensitivity to plant material such as poison ivy and poison oak - infectious agent

7. Agricultural work is one of the most common forms and the most dangerous form of child labor • Agriculture is considered one of the most hazardous industries for occupational injuries and death

8. Selected Hazards and Health effects in Agriculture

10. 2. Construction workers • Construction workers build, repair, renovate, modify and demolish structure : houses, office building, temples, factories, hospitals, roads, bridges. Tunnels, stadium, airports etc. • Construction work is composed of many different task

11. Construction : • often must be done in extreme heat or cold, in windy, rainy, snowy, or foggy weather, or at night • Intermittent and seasonal work • Episodic employment, frequent change employer • The most dangerous occupations

12. Constructions occupations • Boilermakers • Brick masons • Carpenters • Carpet installer • Cement masons • Construction laborer • Electricians • Insulation workers • Operating engineers • Painters • Paperhanger • Plumber • Roofers • Sheet metal worker • Stonemasons

13. Health hazards in construction • Lead • Noise • Musculoskeletal disorders • Respiratory diseases • Dermatitis • Cancer

14. Lead exposure and lead toxicity are particularly important problem in the construction industry • Excessive lead exposures are associated with several construction task

15. Noise • Construction workers generally have excessive noise exposure and high rates of noise induced hear loss • > 500,000 construction workers are exposed to potentially hazardous levels of noise • Exp. Bulldozer, crane cabs, drill

16. Musculoskeletal Disorders • as work related injuries in construction • Construction workers have a high prevalence of chronic musculoskeletal complaints such as pain, aches, discomfort  back pain due to repeated injury hand discomfort, strain and sprain

17. Respiratory Diseases • Construction workers are exposed to a variety of respiratory hazards  asbestos, silica, synthetic vitreous fibers, cadmium, chromates, formaldehyde, cobalt, metal fumes, dust, pitch, sealers, solvents, wood dust, wood preservatives • Asbestosis, Silicosis, COPD and Asthma

18. Dermatitis • Construction workers are exposed to many chemical that cause irritant or allergic dermatitis • Eg. Cement

19. Cancer : • Construction workers are exposed to many carcinogens • Lung Carcinogens in Construction • Asbestos • Chromium, Cadmium • Welding fume • Coal tar • Wood dust • Silica

20. 3. Transportation Sector (Land, Water and Air) • Transportation sector has a big risk for injury and accident  economic and death • Government regulation for prevention of transportation accident and operational technique • Cause of transportation accident • Consistency in regulation controlling • Un disciplinary of operator in transportation sector • Ignore occupational health and safety program • No Punishment for un disciplinary people • Quality of Human resources • Development of transportation technology • Complexity in transportation problem Consistency in application of transportation regulation

21. Land transportation : most frequently accident • Government regulation : • UU No 13 tahun 1992 : train regulation • UU No 14 tahun 1992 : Traffic regulation • Cars, • Driver • Traffic sign

22. Effect of traffic accident • Fatality killed • Serious injury • Light injury • Cause of traffic accident • Pedestrian, condition of road • Driver (unskilled driver)

23. Cause of water accident • Ships condition • Number of passengers • Overload • Un disciplinary people who work at ships • Cause of air accident • Human error • Aircraft condition and maintenance

24. 4. Petroleum, gas and mining sector • Government regulation • Regulation for : • Worker • Hours of work • under ground : not more than 8,5 hour/day • Temperature >30oC : not more than 6 hours/day • Lot of water : not more than 6 hours/day • UU No 1 tahun 1970 • PP No 19 tahun 1973

25. 5. Industrial sector • Industrial sector has a big risk for occupational accident and occupational disease • Type of accident in industrial sector • Major explosion • Major fire • Hazardous explosive

26. 6. Office environment • Sick building syndrome • Applying Occupational health and safety in office environment  indoor and outdoor safety condition • Building construction • Quality of air • Quality of illumination • Electric and communication : over voltage • Noise control • Display unit • Hygiene and sanitation • Using computer  ergonomic low back pain

27. 7. Travel • Travel associated infectious disease • Travel related disease • Traveler’s diarrhea (Salmonelle, Shigella, E.hystolitica, E coli, viral agents) • Hepatitis A, yellow fever, typhoid fever, cholera, malaria • Travel related infection • Water purification • Water sanitation • Food preparation • Vector control • Recreational activities • Personal hygiene

28. Prevention • Public health authorities  recommended vaccination • Malaria prophylaxis • Antibiotic prophylaxis • General protective  insect repellent • Personal medical kit • Health education • Use light and protective clothing, mosquito netting • Avoid outdoors between dusk • Not to eat or drink contaminated food or water • Avoid uncooked foods • Walking with protected feet
