This study was carried out to make a holistic evaluation on the occupational health and safety (OHS) of fisheries and aquaculture sector with its subsectors and to reveal the actual situation of fisheries and aquaculture sector by comparing relevant OHS statistics reported in Turkey. Annual average of accidents in the fisheries and aquaculture sector was found to be 312 (± 147.6), of which 2.14 (± 1.57) resulted in permanent incapacity and 1.57 (± 1.51) of them with fatality. While general incidence rate, fatal incidence rate, permanent incapacity incidence rate and work accident frequency rate were calculated as 2211.8 (±574) 103.6 (±13.4), 5.88 (±2.41) ve 8.36 (±1.93), these values for fisheries and aquaculture sector were determined to be 3579.1 (±1549.3) 175.65 (±152.34), 240.67 (154.62) ve 13.65 (±5.84), respectively. In 2019, the fatal accident rate in Turkey was found to be 0.27% in general, 0.34% in the mining sector, 0.77% in construction and 0.80% in transportation. This ratio was calculated as 1% in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. It was determined that there were more work accidents and fatal incidents in fisheries and aquaculture activities in the seas than in fresh water. Difference between number of work accidents and the duration of temporary incapacity as a result of work accidents in fisheries and aquaculture activities in marine and fresh waters were also significant (p<0.05). Number of fatal accidents in aquaculture sector was found to be more than 4 times than in fisheries. It was determined that the all types of incident rates, work accident frequency rates and fatality rates per work accident in fisheries and aquaculture sector were higher than that of Turkey in general. Evaluation of occupational accidents in the fisheries and aquaculture activity was found to be riskier than expected. Although some evaluations and suggestions are put forward to reduce the number of accidents and the severity of these accidents, a systematic and legislative approach will be more effective. Therefore, it would be a suitable approach to raise the hazard classes of fisheries and aquaculture economic activity to the “very dangerous” class. In this way, the training period of the sector employees on occupational risks and the titles and numbers of OHS professionals working in the sector will be increased, a more qualified specialization will be realized, and control and audit activities will be more frequent.

BACKGROUND: As the pandemic process, COVID-19 has a serious occupational safety risk for healthcare professionals. Therefore, determining their health and safety perceptions and attitudes in the pandemic process is very important. This study aims to determine which is more effective in work accident prevention behavior: safety awareness and competencies of healthcare professionals or perception of fatalism. METHOD: For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied to 326 healthcare professionals. The questionnaire consists of four parts: (1) demographic information of the employees, (2) scale of preventing occupational accidents, (3) fatalism perception scale in occupational health and safety, and (4) security awareness and competency scale. Descriptive statistical methods, multiple regression and correlation analysis were used in the analysis of the data. RESULTS: It was determined that the participants’ safety awareness and competencies were at the high level and their fatalism perceptions were at the low level. The average of the responses given by the participants to the scale of preventing work accidents was above the middle level. According to the study, the safety awareness and competencies of health workers were found to be about three times more effective on the behavior of preventing work accidents than the perception of fatalism. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, it is important to recommend managers to take the step to increase the safety awareness and competencies of those working in their institutions.

AbstrakPenambangan batu bara merupakan salah satu sumber pencemaran udara berupa partikel debu batu bara yang dapat mengganggu kesehatan pernapasan bila terhirup manusia. Risiko kerja yang sering terjadi dapat berasal dari faktor pekerjaan atau perilaku pekerja sendiri, di antaranya sif kerja dan masa kerja. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan sif kerja, masa kerja, dan budaya keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) dengan fungsi paru pekerja tambang batu bara. Penelitian ini merupakan desain kasus kontrol dengan jumlah masing-masing sampel untuk kasus dan kontrol sebesar 178 responden. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Oktober November 2014 di PT. X Kalimantan Selatan. Hasil penelitian berdasarkan uji kai kuadrat, didapatkan nilai p = 0,044 untuk sif kerja, 0,028 untuk masa kerja, dan 0,013 untuk budaya K3. Berdasarkan hasil uji regresi logistik, didapatkan nilai p sif kerja 0,01 dengan OR = 3,934. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara sif kerja dengan fungsi paru, dan tidak terdapat hubungan antara masa kerja dan budaya K3 dengan fungsi paru. Sif kerja merupakan variabel independen yang paling dominan memengaruhi fungsi paru.Analysis of Work Shift, Working Period and Occupational Health andSafety Culture with Lung Function of Coal Mine WorkersAbstractCoal mining is one source of air pollution caused in form of coal dust particle that may interfere with health of breathing if inhaled by human. Occupational risks often occurred may come from occupational factor or worker’s behavior itself, ones of which are work shift and work period. Thisstudy aimed to determine relations of work shift, work period and occupational health and safety (OHS) culture with lung function of coal mining worker. This study was control case design with each amount of sample for case and control was 178 respondents. The study was conducted on October – November 2014 at PT X in South Borneo. Results based on chisquare test showed p value = 0.044 for work shift, 0.028 for work period and 0.013 for OHS culture. Based on logistic regression test results, p value for work shift was 0.01 with OR = 3.934. As conclusion, there is a relation between work shift with lung function, then there is no relation found between work period and OHS culture with lung function. Work shift is an independent variable most dominantly influencing the lung function.

The work accidents and occupational diseases are very important especially in the industrializing countries. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO) every 15 seconds, a worker dies from a work-related accident or disease. Every 15 seconds, 160 workers have a work-related accident. Every day, 6.300 people die as a result of occupational accidents or work-related diseases–more than 2,3 million deaths per year. The economic burden of poor occupational safety and health practices is estimated at 4 per cent of global Gross Domestic Product each year. In Turkey, work accidents’ figures are very high but occupational diseases’ figures are not very high. There are several causes of this condition. In Turkey, the Work Accidents, Occupational Diseases and Maternity Act No. 4772 was accepted in 1947. The Social Security and General Health Insurance Act No.5510 was accepted in 2006. There are regulations about the work accident and occupational disease insurance in the Act. According to the Act, insured and the rights holders can obtain some assistance.

The research on enclosed spaces is used to identify the work accidents, availability of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) equipment as well as the suitability of SOPs used by the Officer to handle the occupational accidents on board.The methodology used to identify the occupational accident in enclosed spaces were quantitative analysis based on some primary data (primary analysis) and secondary data (secondary analysis), by which the author performed the direct observations, interviewed the respondents who experience the accidents and did the literature study.The results confirmed that the enclosed spaces is not used for the activities or daily work by the ship's crew since the rooms have no ventilation, thus the air inhaled is less than 21% by volume and the concentration of hydrocarbon gas is less than 1% of the LFL (Limite Flamble Lower) than the levels of other toxic gases. Based on the interview results of 175 respondents, 93% said the accident was caused by the negligence of the supervision or personal responsibility, 21% said that it was caused by the absence of carbon gas test since there were no tools for detecting the toxic gas (gas detector) and 78% claimed that theyunderstand that the occupational accidents happened in enclosed spaces due to the negligence and procedural error (SOP). Therefore, it can be said that the limitations of knowledge and understanding of the crew, granting permits (work permit) by Officers which was not appropriate, the availability of supporting equipment and the inadequate involvement of shipping companies, the SOP that are not well socialized and the improper handling of accident victims were the causes of the work accidents on board.

Coastal communities commonly depend on their income on marine resources with fishing produces as the main income. Their work is quite risky, as fishing is inextricable from work accidents, loss of life, loss of boats and equipment, personal health and safety, and safety of ship crews. This study aims to determine the mechanism of insurance implementation and fishermen’s perceptions of the Insurance Assistance Program for Fishermen in Prigi, Trenggalek, Jawa Timur. This present study employed descriptive qualitative. The data was collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and literature study. Results show that the number of insurance participants fluctuated, and even decreased every year from 2018 to 2020. Some of the causing factors were fishermen’s lack of interest in the insurance programs due to bad experiences in the past. They reported that the claim submission process was long and complicated when a work accident occurred. Lack of socialization of the insurance program had also made fishermen less familiar.

Occupational Health and Safety (K3) is one of the requirements to increase company productivity in order to be able to compete and survive in the era of globalization in the world free market economy. PT Semen Padang, as the largest industry in West Sumatra, is engaged in producing and trading cement, experiencing work accident problems. This study aims to determine the influence of internal and external labor factors moderated by the strategy of increasing the supervision of the implementation of work safety on work accidents at PT Semen Padang. The research method was a cross-sectional survey by interviewing 165 respondents who were selected by simple random sampling from a population of 423 people based on the formula of Issac and Michael. The results showed that the Variable Strategy for the Improvement of the Implementation of Work Safety Supervision (K3) was 0.019 <0.05, which means that the Strategy for Improving the Implementation of Safety Supervision had an influence on internal factors on work accidents. There is no significant effect on external factors with a value of 0.277> 0.05 on work accidents. The conclusion is that the better the internal and external factors in the workforce, the smaller the work accident rate. It is recommended that a supervisory program related to work stress and fatigue, supporting facilities and infrastructure and appropriate work tools be added to the OHS Supervision Improvement Strategy program.
