Background: Risk management is a preventive effort for a company, especially those engaged in the service sector, which is very prone to errors and complaints. For this reason, it is necessary to map the risks that occur in accordance with the work unit in it which is expected to minimize the number of accidents or errors in both patients, visitors and employees in the hospital. In the 2019 patient safety incident report data at the Surabaya A. Yani Islamic Hospital, it was found that there were incidents which included near miss 93%, not injured 4%, unexpected events 3% and Sentinel 0%. The purpose of this study was to identify and identify the application of occupational safety and health risk management at the A. Yani Islamic Hospital in Surabaya. Methods: This thesis is a qualitative research with a case study method with the aim of fully describing the implementation of K3 risk management at Surabaya A. Yani Hospital based on observation, survey and documentation data on 37 units and hospital workplaces by identifying risks. , analyze and find risk control measures. Results: The results showed that the implementation of K3 risk management in the Islamic Hospital of Surabaya A. Yani based on the results of risk identification obtained as many as 25 risks in the graha building and the old building which were further analyzed by finding 15 moderate risks and 10 high risks. can be done is by repairing damaged infrastructure and improving the existing security system at the A. Yani Islamic Hospital in Surabaya. Conclusion: The conclusion in this study is the implementation of K3 risk management at the Islamic Hospital of Surabaya A. Yani based on the process of risk identification and risk analysis, there are 25 potential risks, of which there are 15 moderate risks and 10 high risks that can potentially cause accidents to employees, visitors and patients. In this case, control efforts are made to minimize the number of incidents and accidents.

Investment construction projects are implemented under constant changes, which forces managers to assess the uncertainty and risks they generate, to manage changes in their own activities and activities of construction organizations. The article describes the main methodological approaches to the development of a model of risks of investment construction projects in the field of labor safety and protection. The approach is based on the method of quantitative assessment depending on the level of processes being evaluated and data characterizing these processes. The proposed concept will make it possible to develop an algorithm and a computational and analytical model for the subsequent automation of the process of quantitative assessment of risks and the dynamics of their change on the basis of the information-digital system. For example, the Corporate Occupational Safety Management System, developed and used by NIPIGAZ JSC to manage occupational safety processes, ensure industrial and fire safety, environmental protection, will make it possible to put into practice the methods of predictive and operational risk analysis, increasing the efficiency of the investment construction project.

Building construction projects have a high level of risk of work accidents, especially for workers in the field. Therefore, at the time of implementation of construction work, it is necessary to evaluate the implementation of occupational safety and health management system (SMK3) to provide a sense of security to workers in the field of this research aimed at evaluating SMK3. This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to know the implementation of SMK3, by taking data by conducting structured interviews conducted on the building construction project Ayana Nort Wing Bali. Analysis conducted a descriptive analysis based on Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No.50, 2012 advanced with 12 criteria containing 166 criteria elements. The result of this study is the application of PP No. 50 of 2012 for the advanced level of 92.89% categorized as satisfactory. In addition, there are 14 that have not been implemented. This the company that the evaluation level of occupational safety and health management system (SMK3) in the building construction project Ayana North Wing Bali is the level of application is very satisfactory for the project.

Odorants are released during the decomposition of organic waste at compost treatment plants. Composting releases volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), including alcohols, aldehydes, volatile fatty acids, ammonia and other nitrogen compounds, xenobiotic solvents, and various sulphur compounds into the environment as categorised by a compost odor wheel. Each odorant possesses a characteristic odour signature – quality and threshold as well as a toxicity value. This paper presents data relating the human odour detection limit to human health threshold criteria developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 and the World Health Organisation. This comparison indicates that: (1) the human odour threshold concentrations (OTC) for most compost odorants are far lower than their respective human health risk (regulatory) threshold values, (2) several compost odorants have OTC that are below some of their respective regulatory thresholds and above others (i.e. dimethyl amine, formic acid acetone, ethyl benzene and toluene) and (3) only the VOCs probably present as contaminants in the raw composting material have OTC greater than all of its regulatory thresholds (i.e. benzene). Benzene is the most hazardous VOC associated with composting and should be monitored.
