Background and Objective: The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) is a seven-item uni-dimensional scale assessing the severity of COVID-19 concerns. A translation and validation of the FCV-19S in Bahasa Indonesia language was expedited in view of the worrying trends of COVID-19 in Indonesia as well as its psychological squeal. Methods: Formal WHO forward and backward translation sequences were applied in translating the English FCV-19S into Bahasa Indonesia. Indonesian university participants were recruited via convenience sampling online using snowball methods. The reliability and validity of the Indonesian FCV-19S was psychometrically evaluated by applying confirmatory factor analysis and Rasch analysis in relation to sociodemographic variables and response to the depression, anxiety, and stress components of the Indonesian version of DASS-21. The sample consisted of 434 Indonesian participants. Results: The Cronbach α value for the Indonesia FCV-19-I was 0.819 indicated very good internal reliability. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the uni-dimensional factor structure of the FCV19S fitted well with the data. The FCV-19-I was significantly correlated with anxiety (r= 0.705, p< 0.001) subscales of DASS-21. The FCV-19-I’s properties tested using Rasch analysis were also satisfactory, although three items in FCV-19-I were not able to be tested. Conclusion: Hence, the Indonesian FCV-19-I is valid and reliable, with robust psychometric properties from classical and modern psychometric methods. It can be a valuable and useful tool in identifying and responding to psychological distress caused by COVID-19.

Hot work climate starts from the emergence of heat energy that comes from a heat source that is emitted directly or through an intermediary and enters the work environment, and becomes a heat pressure as an additional burden on the workforce. This can worsen health conditions and labor stamina when added to the heavy physical workload. The ceramics industry requires special and unique techniques such as combustion. The hot work climate itself can affect the physical and mental condition of workers. The impact that often occurs in workers due to the heat of work is fatigue and dehydration. The purpose of this study is to analyze the conditions of the work climate in the work environment and evaluate the work climate in the production section, which will be compared to the threshold value so that it can be used as a basis for carrying out control measures in an effort to prevent occupational diseases in the industry. This research is a descriptive study, using a cross sectional study design. Measurements of work climate carried out on 4 companies in the ceramics industry in the Gresik region with 10 measurement points in each company, are known to have results, most of which have ISBB values> 30ºC. Observations that have been carried out workloads on the ceramics industry are moderate workloads with a working time of 75% -100% with 25% rest time. based on the results of an average of 10 points from the four companies the ISBB value of measurement results is greater than the value of the NAB that has been set, with a value of 28ºC NAB. Therefore, the need to control the work climate both in its environment and its workers. These controls are general controls such as training (education / training), heat pressure control through the application of hygiene.

Percetakan merupakan salah satu industri dengan tingkat risiko bahaya pada pekerja yang sangat kompleks. Hal ini dilihat dari berbagai macam bahan baku yang digunakan, aktifitas pekerjaan yang dilakukan serta postur tubuh pekerja saat bekerja. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui keluhan kesehatan yang dialami oleh pekerja. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional. Metode pengmbilan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner keluhan kesehatan dan kuesioner gejala neurotoksik Q18 versi jerman. Sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan total populasi yang berjumlah 24 orang pekerja. Analisis data menggunakan analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menujukkan frekuensi keluhan kesehatan yang dialami oleh pekerja percetakan pada sektor informal yaitu batuk (4%), bersin (2%), berdahak (3%), sesak nafas (1%), mual (2%), pusing (5%), mudah lelah (5%), keluhan gejala neurutoksik (5%), nyeri bahu (10%), nyeri pinggang (12%), nyeri punggung (9%), nyeri leher dan lengan (7%).

Kemajuan industri di Indonesia saat ini semakin maju dan kemajuan tersebut belum diimbangi dengan perhatian terhadap pemahaman dan penyelesaian keselamatan kerja secara tepat untuk mencegah terjadinya kecelakaan yang biasanya terjadi di lingkungan kerja tidak terselesaikan sesuai dengan yang diharapkan. Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3) pada industri informal sangat lemah dibandingkan dengan industri formal. Di industri informal, pemilik industri hanya mementingkan kebutuhannya untuk bekerja dan membawa uang, sehingga mengabaikan keselamatan diri dan pekerjanya. Kecelakaan dianggap biasa karena kecerobohan. Home Industri Krupuk Bunga Matahari memproduksi kerupuk berbahan dasar tepung tapioka. Setiap kegiatan kerja pasti akan memiliki potensi bahaya yang dapat mengancam keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari Praktek Kerja Lapang di industri kerupuk ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi bahaya kerja dalam kegiatan produksi kerupuk. Dan upaya yang akan dilakukan dalam mengimplementasikan K3 adalah dengan menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang aman dan nyaman terutama dengan menerapkan budaya kerja 5R. Manfaat penerapan budaya 5R adalah meningkatkan produktivitas kerja untuk meningkatkan penataan tempat kerja yang lebih efisien dan meningkatkan kenyamanan tempat kerja yang bersih dan luas

Crystalline silica can be found in Ceramics Industry. Ceramics are basically made of clay, feldspar and silica sand. Ceramics manufacturing process starts from the processing of materials, forming, drying, burning and gazing. Crystalline silica consists of three types of quartz, tridymite and cristobalite which are distinguished by their forming temperature. Crystaline silica dust is very dangerous for health workers are exposed continuously it can cause a silicosis. Prevention and control efforts can be done one of them by conducting a risk analysis study on crystalline silica exposure. In this research will be discussed about the analysis of crystalline silica exposure into production workers in the ceramics industry. The purpose of this study was to assess the risk level of crystalline silica due to silicosis. Subjects in this study were 47 production workers with the exposure to crystalline silica between 0,007-0,4 mg I m 3• From the result of risk analysis, it was found that 42,6% of workers had unsafe risk which was confirmed by radiology examination was 6,4% of workers with abnormal condition. Complaints experienced by workers include shortness of breath, cough and phlegm. Long term exposure to 5-20 years to the next tends to increase the risk of the effects caused by exposure to crystalline silica. Based on the results of this study it is recommended that decision makers take action to implement effective risk management strategies to prevent the long-term effects of crystalline silica exposure to the workplace.
