AbstractHalal certification is one of the prerequisites for entering the global halal market. It does provide recognition of quality and safe product through the concept of halalan toyyiban for the entire supply chain, from farm to fork. In halal meat industry, the system covers from practicing good animal husbandry in the farm until the post-slaughter management in order to maintain the halal status. Animal welfare aspect and ante-mortem inspection were also highlighted in reducing the chances of slaughtering the injured or diseased animal which may not only affecting the meat quality but unhealthy for consumption. Rapid bleeding resulting from the slaughtering process will increases the shelf-life of the meat by reducing the risk of carcass contamination and product deterioration. As the concept of toyyiban (wholesomeness) is practice, the meat is free from any microbiological, physical and chemical hazards.

Introduction Female workers in textile and metal industry are exposed to various physical and chemical hazards that can lead to the occurrence of gynaecological diseases. Objective The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of gynaecological diseases among workers of textile and metal industries. METHOD The investigation comprised 197 female workers, 148 from textile and 49 from metal industry, aged from 26 to 57 years. All subjects were hospitalized based on non-gynaecological diagnoses. Gynaecological diagnoses included: tumours of the genital organs and breasts, cervical ectopy and lacerations, inflammatory diseases, disturbances of static of genital organs, cysts, and irregularities of menstrual cycle. Results Textile workers were significantly younger than metal workers, but the groups were comparable according to total and exposure work-time, qualifications and diagnosis on hospital admission. Gynaecological diseases were diagnosed among all investigated subjects. About 80% were diagnosed with tumours and inflammatory diseases. A highly statistically significant difference was observed among groups according to the presence of cervical ectopy and lacerations, which were more frequent among textile workers. Conclusion Comparison of gynaecological status of workers revealed that, among textile workers, cervical ectopy and lacerations were more frequent than among workers in metal industry. .

Introduction: The work process of the Painting Area in a Manufacturing Company can pose a risk to physical and chemical health hazards for workers. Hazard analysis and identification, exposure assessment, and risk assessment  are, therefore, needed to protect the health of workers from these health hazards, which can later be used as a basis to determine appropriate controls so as not to have a negative impact on workers’ health. The purpose of this study was to analyze the hazards and their impacts on workers’ health through hazard identification measures, exposure assessments, risk assessments and control recommendations. Methods: Health Risk Assessment of physical and chemical hazards in the Painting Area was undertaken using a semi-quantitative method by calculating a risk assessment matrix using the guidelines from IPIECA & OGP in 2016. Results: Physical hazards were found in the form of lighting hazards, vibrations (arm vibration and whole body vibration), noise and heat pressure. Meanwhile, chemical hazards were found in the form of thinner vapor, solvent, NaNO3, H2SO4, NaOH, H3NSO4 and indoor air quality (CO, NO2, SO2, H2S). The results of the risk assessment matrix obtained 4 levels of risk hazards, consisting of 11.1% in the first priority, 50% in the second priority, 25.9% in the third priority and 12.9% in the condition that did not require immediate action. Conclusion: Physical and chemical health hazards were at 4 levels based on the calculation of risk control priorities. A hierarchy of risk control could be used to reduce the risk of health hazards.Keywords: health risk assessment, ipieca & ogp 2016, painting area, risk assessment matrix

ABSTRACT Every job has risks and hazards related to the work performed. The worker for Handling Public Infrastructure and Facilities (PPSU) as the officer in charge of cleaning public facilities in east Jakarta is not immune from risks and dangers when carrying out their duties. Some of the dangers that may occur include the presence of biological, physical, and chemical hazards that can make injuries and illness from occupational diseases. Independent variables of this study are worker characteristics (age, years of service, and education, knowledge, attitudes), facilities availability, and supervision, and the dependent variable is PPSU's unsafe action. The purpose of the study was to relationship characteristics, facilities availability and supervision with unsafe action at PPSU. The study design was cross sectional. The research sample was all PPSU workers in X Village east Jakarta, which were 64 people. Data analysis using univariate and bivariate. The results of the study were mostly unsafe action from PPSU were not risky (57.8%), proportion of old age (50.0%), work period was mostly> 3 years (79.7%), the education of officers was high (78.1%), officer knowledge is also high (71.9%), positive officer attitudes (56.2%), most officers state that the facilities availability are complete (56.2%), and the supervision carried out is good (60.9%). Based on bivariate analysis, shows that the variables related to PPSU's unsafe behavior are knowledge (p value = 0.006 and PR = 5.943), attitudes (p value = 0.017 and OR = 4.018), facilities availability (p value = 0.004 and OR = 5.400), and supervision (p value = 0.040 and OR = 3.375). Whereas the unrelated are age (p value = 1,000), years of service (p value = 0.523), and education (p value = 1,000). Keywords : Characteristics, Facilities Availability and Supervision, Unsafe Action.
