Application of Core Function Concepts to Local Health Department Occupational Safety and Health Activities

Abstract Background Storytelling is an effective information source when coupled with technical-scientific evidence. It can promote a structured relationship between evidence-based knowledge and field experience of workplace safety and prevention services (WSPS) inspectors. This is key to identifying the causes of workplace injuries and to set priorities for prevention strategies. Aims The main aim was to describe and report how story collection can be used for deriving validated indications for injury prevention. The specific objectives were to report the results of the creation and dissemination on the web of the story collection and the experience of setting up a community of practice (CoP) to develop preventive recommendations. Methods WSPS inspectors from local health boards in Piedmont (northwest Italy) were asked to write injury stories. They identified the key elements of their stories and developed a narrative of witness accounts to explore the critical issues identified during the investigation. In sessions with the CoP, the inspectors validated the indications for prevention elaborated in each story to reduce bias and standardize recommendations. Results Between 2012 and 2017, 60 WSPS inspectors wrote 53 injury stories which were collected and published on the institutional website. Twenty-two stories were selected for discussion during peer review sessions in the CoP and the indications for prevention were transformed as preventive solutions. Conclusions Occupational safety and health prevention can benefit from a narrative-based approach that provides a more comprehensive look at health and safety by facilitating knowledge improvement and sharing.

This study aims to produce learning videos that are feasible as learning media. The resulting video is a Spirometer Practice Tutorial Video in the Occupational Safety and Health (K3) subject for students of the Environmental Health Department of the Health Ministry of Health Yogyakarta. The method used in research is the method of research and development (Research and Development). This development research uses the Borg & Gall development procedure model which is simplified by the Puslitjaknov Team (2008: 11) with the following steps: 1) Analyzing the product to be developed, 2) Developing the initial product, 3) Expert validation and revision, 4) Testing small-scale field and revisions, 5). Large-scale field trials and final products. The research location was carried out at the Hyperkes Laboratory of Environmental Health Department. This research was conducted in July - September 2020. The results showed that the Spirometer Practice Tutorial video in the occupational safety and health course can be used as a learning medium or learning resource for students, especially for the K3 (Occupational Health Safety) practical course in the Environmental Health Department. the feasibility level is 86.84 5%.
