In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, PT. XYZ, the biggest aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) company in Indonesia, implemented a new shift pattern for line-maintenance personnel. The new shift pattern allows maintenance personnel to have fewer working hours per day (7-hour shifts) in more shift varieties for 5 consecutive days. Maintenance personnel will have 2-morning shifts, 1-noon shift, and 2-night shifts followed by 3 rest days. This study aims to explore the risk of fatigue caused by the newly implemented shift pattern. Data were collected through electronic questionnaires from a total of 303 respondents. This study found that at the time of the survey, many respondents (78 of 303, 26%) felt tired and had difficulty concentrating, regardless of the shift they were in. Based on the duty time, the highest scores of level 6 (tired, difficult to concentrate) were discovered on night shift day 5. This result shows that although the organization had provided the maintenance personnel with the opportunity to obtain sleep during rest days, tiredness and fatigue were still experienced by the aircraft maintenance personnel. This study recommends necessary actions to be taken to prevent fatigue, especially from the noon shift afterwards, where fatigue level is increasing, and alertness level is decreasing.

This paper discusses the potential risks and dangers associated with the oil and gas industry. This industry is essential for meeting energy needs and generating foreign exchange income, but it also poses significant risks, such as accidents, fires, explosions, and environmental contamination. Neglected work and safety procedures can result in catastrophic economic losses and have far-reaching effects on society and the environment. The study describes three significant accidents in the industry that were caused by internal and external factors. In order to comprehend the causes of these incidents, this study suggests three risk analysis techniques: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis, and Hazard and Operability Study. The paper asserts that by employing these methods, incident data can be obtained to enhance security and reduce the likelihood of future accidents. Overall, this study emphasizes the significance of safety measures, environmental management, and total quality management in the oil and gas industry in order to avoid fatal outcomes and environmental impacts.
