The Enhancement of OSH Training with an Augmented Reality-Based App

Recent advances in training approaches and technology have identified the need to improve training in the field of occupational safety and health (OSH). While many researchers have examined the use of augmented reality (AR) and technology-based classrooms to enhance conventional training practices, quantitative evidence for their effectiveness and motivational im-pact remains scarce. To contribute to filling this research gap, an AR-based application was developed to enhance OSH training. The enhanced training session was conducted in a closed, safe environment with ten participants with no background in OSH. Pre-test, post-test, and instructional material motivation surveys (IMMS) using a five-point Likert scale were deployed to measure the effectiveness and motivational impact in accordance with the respective ARCS factors. The empirical results obtained show that partici-pants performed significantly better in the post-tests than in the pre-tests (mean = 14.60, s = 1.71, t(9) = –12.11 with p-value < 0.001). The IMMS re-sults show that the perceived motivation arising from the AR-based applica-tion resulted in the highest mean score for the satisfaction factor (4.80) fol-lowed by the relevance (4.65), confidence (4.60), and attention (4.55) fac-tors. The results of the evaluation suggest that the AR-based application boosted participants’ active learning behavior, engagement, and interest dur-ing the enhanced training session and produced a better learning outcome and experience.

Adolescents and young adults (<25 years) working in agriculture are at greater risk of injury than youth working in other industries. Supervisors play an important role in protecting these young workers who lack workplace experience and whose bodies and brains are still developing. A theoretically based approach was used to develop an online training for supervisors of young agricultural workers. The training addresses an expanded view of occupational safety that not only addresses injury prevention, but also focuses on health promotion and worker well-being using a Total Worker Health approach. A pre-post/post study design was used to evaluate the training. Questionnaires included demographics, workplace characteristics, knowledge, beliefs about protecting young workers, and supervisors’ communication behaviors. One-hundred-eighty-two participants completed all parts of the efficacy trial. A post-test administered immediately after completing the training, indicated that supervisors had greater understanding of the risks to young workers and at 3-month follow-up were more likely to engage in communication behaviors to protect the safety and health of young workers. Positive changes in when, how, and under what circumstances supervisors talk about safety and health occurred. Establishing patterns of protective behaviors in the workplace can have lifelong impact, particularly among young workers.

<div class="WordSection1">Amerika Serikat, berdasarkan National Institute for Deafness and Communication Disorders (NICDC) dan National Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) pada tahun 2008 mengatakan bahwa lebih dari 30-40 juta masyarakat Amerika Serikat terpajam bunyi bising yang menyebabkan gangguan non audiotory. Selain itu menurut National Institute For Occupational Safety And Health (NIOSH) diketahui bahwa 22 juta pekerja memiliki potensi mengalami gangguan non audiotory setiap tahunnya. Di berbagai industri di Indonesia, angka kebisingan ini berkisar antara 30-50%. Sehingga gangguan non audiotory menjadi permasalahan yang patut diperhatikan bagi perindustrian di Indonesia. Pada tahun 2007, sekitar 23.000 orang kasus dilaporkan sebagai gangguan non audiotory akibat mesin-mesin yang menghasilkan intensitas kebisingan di ats NAB (Muslim, 2015). Kebisingan di tempat kerja dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif bagi kesehatan yaitu gangguan audiotory dan gangguan non audiotory. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pajanan kebisingan dengan gangguan non audiotory pada petugas keamanan dalam (PKD) pada PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) di stasiun bogor. Variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu variabel independen meliputi pajanan kebisingan, umur pekerja, masa kerja, pendidikan, lama pajanan/jam kerja dan alat pelindung telinga sedangkan variabel dependennya yaitu gangguan non audiotory. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif deskriptif. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan Non-probability Sampling dengan jumlah sampel penelitian sebesar 75 responden. Pengambilan data kebisingan dengan menggunakan alat sound level meter, menyebarkan kuesioner serta wawancara mendalam mengenai alat pelindung telinga. Analisis data penelitian menggunakan aplikasi statistic dengan menggunakan uji chi-square. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, kebisingan pada petugas keamanan dalam stasiun bogor di empat titik pengukuran nilai minimum sebesar 84,5 dBA dan nilai maksimum sebesar 92,5 dBA dan hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa 50 pekerja (66,7%) tidak mengalami gangguan non audiotory dan 25 pekerja (33,3%) mengalami gangguan non audiotory. Hasil uji statistic Chi-Square Test diperoleh dari enam variabel yang diteliti diketahui bahwa semua variabel tidak bermakna dengan nilai pajanan kebisingan (p-value=0,111), umur (p-value=0,683), masa kerja (p-value=0,173) yang memiliki nilai (p-value>0,05) artinya dari variabel tersebut tidak ada hubungan yang bermakna dengan gangguan non audiotory pada petugas keamanan dalam pada PT Kereta Api Indonesia di stasiun bogor. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah tidak ada hubungan yang bermakna antara pajanan kebisingan, umur dan masa kerja dengan gangguan non audiotory pada petugas keamanan dalam pada PT Kereta Api Indonesia di stasiun bogor. Saran bagi PT KAI yaitu melakukan pergantian petugas setiap 4 jam sekali dari tempat kerja yang bising ke tempat yang tidak terpapar bising sedangkan saran bagi pekerja memanfaatkan waktu sebaik mungkin untuk mencari tempat yang tidak bising pada saat istirahat, agar tubuh menjadi lebih rileks sehingga dapat menurunkan risiko terjadinya gangguan non audiotory.</div>

Senior year students of BSc (Hons) in Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health (EOSH) are trained to be future environmental and safety practitioners. However, they usually show relatively weak English ability when proceeding with their study in articulation degree programmes. Their ability to communicate fluently in English is pivotal to the advancement of their career, particularly for numerous international opportunities. All the EOSH students are Chinese and are expected to communicate in English at work, which indicates the importance of English proficiency. Therefore, a trial course perfectly tailored to meet the professional needs of senior year students with job-related examples was developed to improve their confidence level in communication, particularly the syntax, semantics and lexis of English language. The intended objectives were assessed by reviewing students’ performance and feedback. A pre-test and a post-test were conducted to ascertain the English language proficiencies of the students before and after the English bridging course respectively. Further, a pre-designed questionnaire survey was distributed to the senior year students before and after the English bridging course to collect information about their confidence level with four identified areas, including overall language proficiency, specific writing skills, specific listening skills and specific speaking skills. The results showed that the confidence level of senior year students was low before the English bridging course, while the confidence level was moderate after the English bridging course. There was also significant improvement in their confidence level after the English course for all the identified areas. The results suggest that an English bridging course should be conducted in English by native speakers and supplemented with Cantonese from non-native speakers to enhance the understanding and confidence level of the senior year students.

ABSTRACT Disasters are categorized as 2, namely natural disasters and non-natural disasters. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides, fires. Non-natural disasters such as accidents at work, accidents at home, schools, boarding schools, campuses, shopping, roads and so forth. The aim of the study: to analyze the effect of disaster and work safety training on students' perceptions of knowledge and attitudes toward disaster risk The sample is a student of the public health study program at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra Medan. Data analysis with t-test. The results of the study: there was a significant effect of disaster and safety training on perceptual responses of student knowledge p-value of 0.0001 <0.05. There is a significant effect of disaster and occupational safety training on the perceptual responses of students' attitudes of p-value of 0.0001 <0.05. Knowledge and attitude cannot be separated. These two things are interconnected, with the knowledge of earthquake disaster preparedness it will affect one's attitude when a disaster occurs. The training stimulus builds a positive perception response. Disaster training is more effective and acceptable when combined with work safety and health material in the campus environment so that respondents are more easily accepted. Conclusion: modification of disaster management and occupational health safety training is more easily understood by respondents. So that it effectively changes the respondents' knowledge and attitudes. The success of training as a means of changing knowledge and attitudes is determined by internal and external factors. Suggestion: implementation of safety and health at the university level needs to be done, to minimize the risk of accidents. Keywords: disaster training, occupational safety and health, perceptual responses, knowledge, attitudes.
