Background:The palm oil industry is the largest contributor to global production of oils and fats. Indonesia and Malaysia are the largest producers of palm oil. More than a million workers are employed in this industry, yet there is a lack of information on their occupational health and safety.Objective:To identify and summarize occupational hazards among oil palm plantation workers.Methods:A search was carried out in June 2018 in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Ovid. Relevant publications were identified by a systematic search of four databases and relevant journals. Publications were included if they examined occupational hazards in oil palm plantation workers.Results:941 publications were identified; of these, 25 studies were found eligible to be included in the final review. Of the 25 studies examined, 19 were conducted in Malaysia, 2 in Costa Rica, and one each in Ghana, Indonesia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, and Cameroon. Oil palm plantation workers were found to be at risk of musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, psychosocial disorders, and infectious diseases such as malaria and leptospirosis. In addition, they have potential exposure to paraquat and other pesticides.Conclusion:In light of the potential of palm oil for use as a biofuel, this is an industry with strong growth potential. The workers are exposed to various occupational hazards. Further research and interventions are necessary to improve the working conditions of this already vast and growing workforce.

“…The present study established theoretical linkages using the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) model (Rav-Marathe et al 2016), which states that knowledge improves attitude before influencing behavior. Many previous KAP studies have linked knowledge and attitude to risky behaviors Mahendra et al 2019;Ohajinwa et al 2017;Papadopoli et al 2020;Shawal et al 2018). According to Saqlain et al (2020), risk management effectiveness is enhanced by individuals who possess extensive knowledge, carry a positive attitude, and adhere to consistent risk management practices.…”

The Impacts of Knowledge, Attitude, Awareness and Organizational Commitment on Risk Management Effectiveness in Laboratories

Whether medical, chemical, or nuclear, the laboratory presents inherent risks, which are further amplified by lab equipment usage. Ensuring laboratory safety in universities and research institutions is thus critical. Based on the knowledge, attitude, and practice model, this study examines how student knowledge, attitude, awareness, and organizational commitment impact the effectiveness of laboratory and workshop risk management. Survey data was collected from 251 engineering students from four southern Malaysian polytechnics and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that knowledge, awareness, and organizational commitment significantly enhance risk management effectiveness, while attitude has no effect. These results emphasize the need for institutions to improve students' risk management knowledge and awareness to fortify safety measures and risk management strategies against hazards on campus or in the community.

Industrial boilers simulation can serve number of purposes like training, optimization, HAZOP studies, and incident investigation. Simulation including trip logics, interlockings, safety devices, start‐up and shutdown procedure is presented in this work. Simulation is directly accomplished in dynamic mode to benefit from the holdup approach to avoid anomalies because of recycling. The industrial DCS/PLC diagrams are replicated to imitate the boiler‐integrated behavior. Trip logics, start‐up and shutdown procedures are programmed using event scheduler. The inbuilt pressure relief module validates the simulated PSVs and rupture disc capacities. The model is then verified at three stages including ‘steady state’ achievement in dynamic mode, controller validation by start‐up and shut down procedures and finally by direct industrial data under deviant conditions. Where an unfortunate event is a concern, it also provides an opportunity to ponder and to evolve at various levels. Operational simulation of any such incident may help in getting a deep insight and thus to take accurate countermeasures. One such attempt is done in this work. A boiler accident has been reported. The complete response of the controllers and interlockings/trip system is imitated. The obtained results were compared with the chain of events that took place. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog: e12040 2019
