“…Penelitian lain menyatakan bahwa kelelahan kerja ditandai oleh penurunan efisiensi dalam pekerjaan, ketrampilan dan meningkatkan kebosanan dan kecemasan (Saftarina, Mayasari, & Vilia, 2018). Para pekerja sering mengalami ketidaknyamanan pada system musculoskeletal dan gangguan kesehatan lain (Nag, Vyas, & Nag, 2016).…”

Work fatigue is a phenomenon that is experienced by many workers that may possibly reduce work productivity among workers. In most cases, this type of fatigue is not just being physically tired, but also it is mentally exhausted. Several instruments which are able to measure this problem has been well developed, however, to the best authors’ knowledge ongoing work fatigue can reduce worker productivity. There are already many instruments to measure fatigue, but each instrument may not be used to measure work fatigue, especially workers in the informal sector, so it is necessary to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure work fatigue. This research was developed by analyzing every statement in (UWFI). The number of samples was 38 female workers in the informal sector. The statistical test used for validity analysis is product-moment correlation and reliability using single reliability. The results showed that of the 23 items there were 4 items that were invalid but because they were represented by other items, the items were not used, so the UWFI instrument numbered 19 items. While the reliability of the instrument is 0.877, the UWFI instrument is declared valid and reliable.

“…International studies indicate that uneducated men are more likely to experience fatal automobile crashes than more highly educated men and also asserts that the rate of serious non-fatal injury is higher for individuals of lower education levels, but less serious injury is not so clearly correlated with education [21].…”

The informal non-food manufacturing sector is an engine of growth and development in both developed and developing countries. The sector is unregulated and unregistered in official government statistics. However this particular sector is faced with occupational safety and health hazards without preventive measures. The study assessed knowledge and attitudes on practices of occupational safety and health in the informal non-food manufacturing sector in Kampala City, Uganda. It adopted across sectional survey design that involved both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. A total of 424 firms were sampled from the 6 clusters of the informal sector. Respondents were moderately knowledgeable on hazards with 39.7% compared to 25.5% who reported high level of exposure. Overall the knowledge on occupational safety and health hazards was inadequate while attitude especially on the use of PPE was poor. There was a high level on knowledge towards hazard control measures by complying with the safety measures (PPE 52.6% and good housekeeping 54.4%) although no significant difference was observed in their adherence to control measures. Attitude towards the use of control measures was found to moderate with PPE 62.9% and good housekeeping 61.1% Creation of awareness, training, and application of Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, inspection and enforcement by the relevant regulatory agency as well as proactive multi-media strategies to improve the situation is recommended.
