BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 global pandemic brought several challenges to occupational safety and health practice. One of these is the need to (re)assess the occupational risks, particularly, biological risks. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this work is to promote guidance to occupational safety and health practitioners when conducting a biological risk assessment in this context. METHODS: The main steps of the biological risk assessment are explained with some inputs regarding the novelty posed by SARS-CoV-2 and an example of a qualitative risk assessment method is presented. Also, its application to two different activities was exemplified. RESULTS: In both cases, the assessment considered that vulnerable workers were working from home or in medical leave. The results showed low or medium risk level for the assessed tasks. For medium risk level, additional controls are advised, such maintain social distancing, sanitize instruments/equipment before use, use proper and well-maintained PPE (when applicable), and promote awareness sessions to spread good practices at work. Employers must be aware of their obligations regarding biological risk assessment and OSH practitioners must be prepared to screen and link the abundance of scientific evidence generated following the outbreak, with the technical practice. CONCLUSIONS: This paper could be an important contribution to OSH practice since it highlights the need to (re)assess occupational risks, especially biological risk, to ensure a safe return to work, providing technical guidance.

Unsafe Behavior

As an institution that is committed to implementing an Occupational Safety and Health Management System (SMK3) in accordance with Government Regulation Number 50 of 2012, the PLN Education and Training Implementation Unit (UPDL) Semarang continuously makes continuous improvements both to work processes, infrastructure, competence of personnel, work methods, and other resources that can support the achievement of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) performance and Company performance. One of the tools that can help smooth OSH monitoring and reporting activities at PLN is an information technology-based application called Inspekta. The purpose of this study is to determine and evaluate the use of information technology in relation to unsafe conditions, unsafe behavior (unsafe action), near misses, accidents and occupational diseases. The research method used in this research is observation, interviews and data analysis (documents). From the results of the research that has been done, it is found that the Inspecta application provides benefits in building awareness and monitoring as well as OHS reporting. The Inspekta application still needs to be optimized and developed again to make it more efficient and effective.  Keywords: Inspekta application, information technology, K3 ABSTRAK Sebagai institusi yang memiliki komitmen untuk menerapkan Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja  (SMK3) sesuai Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 50 tahun 2012, PLN Unit Pelaksana Pendidikan dan Pelatihan (UPDL) Semarang secara terus menerus melakukan perbaikan (continuous improvement) baik terhadap proses kerja, infrastruktur, kompetensi personil, metode kerja, dan sumber-sumber daya lain yang dapat mendukung pencapaian kinerja Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3) maupun kinerja Perusahaan. Salah satu alat (tool) yang dapat membantu kelancaran kegiatan pemantauan dan pelaporan K3 di PLN adalah aplikasi berbasis teknologi informasi yang disebut Inspekta. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan mengevaluasi penggunaan teknologi informasi berkaitan dengan kondisi tidak aman (unsafe condition), perilaku tidak aman (unsafe action), kondisi hampir celaka (nearmiss), kecelakaan (accident) dan penyakit akibat kerja. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah observasi, wawancara dan analisa data (dokumen). Dari hasil penelitian yang sudah dilakukan diperoleh hasil bahwa aplikasi inspekta memberi manfaat dalam membangun kepedulian dan pemantaun serta  pelaporan K3. Aplikasi Inspekta masih perlu dioptimalkan dan dikembangkan lagi agar lebih berdaya guna dan berhasil guna.   Kata kunci: aplikasi inspekta, teknolgi informasi, K3
