Formaldehyde is a chemical substance that has volatile and short-term effect characteristics, which can cause eye irritation. Exposure to formaldehyde in low levels can cause irritation to human eyes. The purpose of this research was to study the production process, air formaldehyde levels and eye irritation at Wood Adhesive Factory workers in Surabaya. This study was an observational study with cross sectional design and analyzed descriptively. The variables studied were levels of formaldehyde in the air and eye irritation of workers. Results showed that the average levels of formaldehyde in three areas of production (formalin, liquid adhesive, and powder adhesive production) was 0.2102 ppm and 12.5% of respondents experiencing eye irritation had age between 26-35 years, working period less than 10 years, length of work 7 hours per day, not wearing personal protective equipment safety glasses (spectacles) and had a habit of smoking. The factory had provided personal protective equipment safety glasses (spectacles), but 37.5% of the respondents did not wear personal protective equipment when they were working. Hence strict supervision regarding the use of personal protective equipment is needed, especially safety glasses (spectacles) so that workers are more obedient in wearing personal protective equipment and eye irritation to workers can be avoided.

Pengawasan ini pada dasarnya adalah pengawasan terhadap proses dan hasil serta orang yang melakukan pekerjaan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui Hubungan pengawasan dan kelengkapan dengan tingkat kepatuhan penggunaan alat pelindung diri (APD) pada pekerja produksi area bagging off  di PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk. Unit Cirebon tahun 2018. Rancangan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain cross sectional. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh Pekerja produksi area bagging off  PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk. Unit Cirebon yang berjumlah 55 orang pada bulan Mei 2018. Jumlah sampel menggunakan total sampling karena jika jumlah populasi kurang dari 100 maka seluruh populasi dijadikan sampel penelitian. Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan data primer berupa observasi dan wawancara dan instrumen pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan Uji Chi Square pada tingkat kemaknaan 5% (0,05). Hasil uji statistik didapatkan bahwa ada hubungan antara pengawasan dengan kepatuhan penggunaan APD diperoleh p value sebesar 0,049. Dan ada hubungan antara kelengkapan APD terhadap kepatuhan penggunaan APD diperoleh p value sebesar 0,001.Kata kunci : ABSTRACTOne effort to prevent workplace accidents is to require that you wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that meets the requirements, which is comfortable in use, does not hinder the work process, and provides effective protection against types of hazards.
