Masa kerja ≥ 5 tahun sebanyak 21 orang (52,2%) dan masa kerja < 5 tahun sebanyak 19 orang (47,5%). Hasil uji Chi Square variabel yang berhubungan dengan kepatuhan adalah variabel pengetahuan (p value = 0,005), pengawasan (p value = 0,000), masa kerja (p value = 0,004) sedangkan variabel sikap tidak terdapat hubungan dengan kepatuhan pekerja ketinggian dalam melaksanakan SOP (p value = 1,000). Kesimpulan: Kepatuhan pekerja ketinggian dalam melaksanakan SOP dipengaruhi oleh pengetahuan, pengawasan dan masa kerja.

Abstrak ___________________________________________________________________Pekerja di lingkungan panas dapat terpapar dehidrasi. Selain lingkungan kerja yang panas dehidrasi dapat disebabkan oleh kurangnya konsumsi cairan, penggunaan pakaian saat bekerja dan riwayat penyakit yang dimiliki.Pekerja pandai besi Desa Hadipolo terpapar panas dari lingkungan kerja berkisar antara 30 o C -35 o C dan mengalami tanda-tanda dehidrasi. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada tanggal 7-15 April 2018.Tujuan penelitian menganalisis hubungan tekanan panas, konsumsi cairan dan penggunaan pakaian saat bekerja dengan tingkat dehidrasi pada pekerja pandai besi di Desa Hadipolo Kecamatan Jekulo Kabupaten Kudus. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Hasil penelitian ini ada hubungan antara tekanan panas (p value = 0,036), konsumsi cairan (p value = 0,021), penggunaan pakaian saat bekerja (p value = 0,020) dengan tingkat dehidrasi. Analisis secara multivariat diperoleh hasil kategori konsumsi cairan dengan p value = 0,016 dan kategori penggunaan pakaian saat bekerja dengan p value = 0,017. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini variabel yang paling berperan terhadap tingkat dehidrasi yaitu kategori konsumsi cairan kategori dan penggunaan pakaian saat bekerja. Abstract___________________________________________________________________ Workers in hot environments can be exposed to dehydration. In addition to a hot dehydrated work environment, it can be caused by a lack of fluid consumption, the use of clothing at work and the history of the disease. Blacksmith workers in Hadipolo village are exposed to heat from the work environment ranging from 30 o C -35 o C and experiencing signs of dehydration. The study was conducted on April 7-15, 2018. The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship between heat stress, fluid consumption and clothing usage while working with the level of dehydration in blacksmith workers in Hadipolo Village, Jekulo District, Kudus Regency. this research is an observational analytic study with cross sectional approach. The results of this study there is a relationship between heat stress (p value = 0.036), fluid consumption (p value = 0.021), use of clothing at work (p value = 0.020) with the level of dehydration with. Multivariate analysis obtained results of fluid consumption category with p value = 0.016 and clothing usage category while working with p value = 0.017. The conclusion of this study is the variable that most plays a role in the level of dehydration, namely the category of consumption of liquid and clothing usage category while working

The scientific development and economic advances have led to the identification of many pathogenic agents in hospital effluents. Hospital wastewaters are qualitatively similar to municipal wastewaters, with the difference that these wastewaters contain toxic and infectious substances and compounds that can be dangerous for the health of the environment, employees of these centers, and the entire community. Therefore, in the last few years, it has been emphasized that all hospitals and medical and health centers should have a treatment facility for their produced wastewater so that the health of the society and people is not threatened. An issue that is not paid attention to has become one of the environmental problems and concerns of the world today. The present study focused on the investigate hospital wastewater treatment methods and its impact on human health and the environment. In this narrative study, the first literature search was performed with four hundred and twenty-three articles were retrieved based on PubMed, Elsevier, Web of science, Spring, and Google Scholar databases. The results of this study showed that wastewater from hospitals and medical centers can play a significant impress in polluting soil and aquatic environments and spreading infectious diseases. According to the mentioned contents, collection and treatment of hospital wastewater is essential. In addition, if hospital wastewater enters the wastewater collection network without knowing its characteristics or with incomplete treatment and finally enters the municipal wastewater treatment plant. It causes many problems, including disturbing the balance of the biological system of the treatment plant. Purification and disposal of hospital wastewater is considered a vital action based on environmental standards. The results of this study also showed that the treatment methods of this type of hospital wastewater can play a significant role in reducing the spread of diseases caused by hospital wastewater treatment, including infectious diseases. The results of this study can be very useful for politicians, the managers of the Ministry of Energy and Health and the Environmental Organization in choosing the appropriate methods and process to reduce hospital wastewater and increase the efficiency of hospital wastewater treatment plants.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is an occupational disease caused by disruption of the hand position which is constantly and is often associated with activities that use the hands for a long time can affect nerves, blood supply to the hands and wrists. This study aims to determine the relationship between workload, repetitive wrist movements and work time with carpal tunnel syndrome in cantel eyelash workers. The results of this study are there is no relationship between workload and the incidence of CTS (p=1,000), there is a relationship between repetitive wrist movements with the incidence of CTS (p=0.031) and There is a relationship between years of service and the incidence of CTS (p=0.007). The conclusion is repetitive wrist movements performed by workers during years of work are a risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome. So that to reduce this risk, it is necessary to stretch your hands before working, every two hours of work and finish working.
