Current Systems

Research indicates that farmers’ demographic characteristics and production practices have safety and health implications. However, current systems do not identify organic farmers independently from conventional farmers, and literature on how organic and conventional farmers compare is very limited. We conducted a secondary analysis of 2012 Census of Agriculture data to compare organic and non-organic farms and principal operators (POs) in New Mexico (NM). Organic farms were smaller in size, and POs of farms with organic sales were significantly younger (55.8±9.5 vs. 60.5±5.5 years) and less experienced (19.5±6.8 vs. 25.2±6.8 years). Significant differences were also found in POs ethnicity, race, and primary occupation. More farms with organic sales had a female PO compared to farms with non-organic sales (27% vs. 19%). Other significant differences related to work arrangements, household income, living conditions, and access to Internet. National surveys and regional studies may not accurately typify and describe the local organic producer, which is essential in order to advance policy, develop health interventions, and properly address occupational safety and risk among organic farmers. This study makes a unique contribution to understanding the importance of surveillance and collecting place-based data that are specific to the organic producer.

The Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic is a unique transboundary crisis which has disrupted people’s way of life more dramatically than any event in generations. Given the ambiguity surrounding the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and its enduring negative effects, it is important to understand how this has affected important future of work trends. The aim of the current paper is to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on commonly discussed future of work trends relevant to occupational safety and health priority areas. These topics include work arrangements, compensation and benefits, and the organization of work. For each topic, we assess trends leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, discuss the impact of the pandemic on these trends, and conclude with implications for research and practice. Overall, the pandemic appears to have both accelerated and disrupted various trends associated with future of work topic areas. These effects are discussed in terms of implications for both policymakers and organizations.

Pada tahun 2013 terdapat 2 kasus kecelakaan yang mengakibatkan 1 korban meninggal dunia. Begitu juga pada tahun 2014 sebanyak 1 kasus kecelakaan juga mengakibatkan 1 korban meninggal dunia dan beberapa kasus kecelakaan lain yang terjadi. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa masih tingginya tingkat kecelakaan yang diakibatkan oleh Bus Trans Metro Kota Pekanbaru. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui Penerapan Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja Pada Pengemudi Bus Trans Metro Kota Pekanbaru. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah observasional dengan pendekatan kuantitatif analitik dengan desain penelitian cross sectional. Jumlah Populasi yang diteliti sebanyak 100 yang terdiri dari seluruh pengemudi Bus Trans Metro Pekanbaru dengan jumlah sampel 80 orang. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah dengan cara acak sederhana. Hasil uji bivariate menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan pvalue= 0,001, pengalaman kerja pvalue= 0,001, kondisi kesehatan pvalue= 0,688, stress kerja pvalue= 0,834, dan SOP pvalue= 0,002. Dari hasil uji bivariate dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara pelatihan , pengalaman kerja dan SOP dengan penerapan keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja pada pengemudi bus Trans Metro Kota Pekanbaru.
