The virus that causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 continues to undergo mutations forming new variants. The latest variant that has been detected, namely the Omicron variant known as the B.1.1.529 variant.  The Omicron variant has a high transmission rate of up to 5 times that of the previous variant including the Delta variant. The speed of transmission that occurs in South Africa is still being carried out epidemiological studies to find out whether this is caused by Omicron or other factors. Transmission is easier to occur in individuals who have not received the vaccine and this can also cause complications in their treatment. Nonetheless, some countries are concerned about pressure on health systems due to the increased need for hospitalizations as the rate of transmission of this variant is much higher. Viral replication occurs 70 times faster in the respiratory tract, but 10 times slower when in human lung tissue.  Because one of the efforts that can be done to avoid Covid-19 is to use a vaccine, it can help protect people around from the corona virus. Especially people who are at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19. By seeing these problems, it is necessary to have health counseling in getting to know the new variant of Covid-19 (omicron) and increasing public awareness of how important Covid-19 vaccination is

The many risks faced by health workers during COVID-19 are the result of various factors. These include the lack of robust processes to carry out tasks safely, the lack of health logistics supplies, and inadequate protective equipment. These problems not only pose a physical and psychological danger to health workers, but also critically make them transmit the virus (Widiawati et al, 2018). Therefore, it is necessary to consistently implement Occupational Health and Health in hospitals to prevent unintended risks. The purpose of this study is to provide information related to the consistency of health workers in the application of occupational health and safety in the inpatient institution of Tadjuddin Chalid Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. The type of research used is qualitative research with direct observation techniques and interviews. The informants in this study were the Head of the Hospital, the Head of the K3 Section.  Head of the inpatient room. And Heads of Training, Doctors, and Nurses. Research from Tajuddin Chalid Hospital Makassar shows that there is no K3 training during this pandemic. Until now, it has only done education through the delivery of messages or templates about the use of PPE. But before the pandemic, we did regular training every year. The conclusion that the maintenance and examination are in accordance with the guidelines of the Minister of Health which says that it is carried out in accordance with real medical needs and applicable medical service standards while still preventing work accidents and wearing PPE
