This study examines Occupational Health and Safety implications in flower farms in Central Uganda. An exploratory sequential mixed method design and methodology was employed, with multiple data collection methods including interviews, focus group discussions and survey. The findings show that occupational health and safety issues remain a major problem in flower farms. While the majority of workers agreed that the farms provided them with protective equipment, the data collected from the workers point at either the improper use or ineffectiveness of the equipment. A number of workers reported skin irritations, sore and painful eyes, stiff necks, back pains and occasional headaches that was presumably argued to have arose from their work environment. The study also found that farms have been adjusting in an attempt to correct some of these anomalies. These included the use of biological approaches to control pests and diseases, restricting the use of some chemical formulations that are deemed to be harmful to applicators and environment. Alongside these efforts, the study recommends increased vigilance by the flower farm owners in the provision of personal protective equipment to workers.

Lokasi yang strategis dimana terletak dalam kawasan objek wisata Monkey Forest dan dikelilingi banyak hotel dan juga restaurant, membuat TPS ini banyak memiliki pelanggan.

Hal ini menyebabkan pemotongan gaji pegawai dan juga pengurangan jumlah pegawai. Hal ini menyebabkan peningkatan stres kerja, yang juga meningkatkan resiko hipertensi. Salah satu solusi yang dapat tim PKM tawarkan adalah memberikan edukasi terkait bahaya hipertensi dan juga cara menanggulanginya, selain itu edukasi terkait branding dan pemasaran pupuk kompos hasil produksi Rumah Kompos Desa Adat Padang Tegal, merupakan salah satu alternatif yang menjanjikan untuk menurunkan stres kerja pegawai di lokasi ini.

ABSTRACT Mitra in Padang Tegal, Ubud, are representatives of waste collection sites and organic waste processing facilities. This TPS has a large customer base due to its strategic location in the Monkey Forest tourist area, surrounded by numerous hotels and restaurants. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, many hotels and restaurants closed, resulting in a significant decline in revenue for Rumah Kompos. This resulted in salary reductions and a reduction in the number of employees. This increases work-related stress, which increases the risk of hypertension. Education regarding the dangers of hypertension and how to overcome it, as well as education regarding the branding and marketing of compost produced by the Padang Tegal Traditional Village Compost House, is a promising solution for reducing work stress among site employees. This. 30 workers from the Compost House participated in the extension activity. The effectiveness of counseling is determined by comparing post-test and pre-test scores, with the average post-test score rising by 40%. In addition, management staff participants expressed satisfaction with the compost marketing strategies counseling. After evaluation and monitoring, it was determined that more than 70 percent of employees who smoked were able to reduce their smoking by more than 50 percent compared to before the program.

Most of the employees had been suffering in their health status at work during the movement control order. The government advised some of the companies to develop work from home which could cut the expenses of the company as well and the business operation of the company could be done like those normal days during the pandemic. The university staff was required to work from home due to the online learning that had been held during the pandemic. A change in the working environment requires new adaption, thus will jeopardize the outcome at the end of the day. The employee health was not taken good care of during the work-from-home period due to the change in ergonomics structure, stress on the workload and distraction, and poor time management by the employees at home which caused them to have bad job performance. This study aims to investigate the most factor that affects job performance during COVID-19. Data was collected among the staff in one of the public universities located in the north of Malaysia that practice work from home by using the questionnaire method. The findings argued on the most affected factor towards job performance.
