Status Ergonomi Pekerja Sektor Kehutanan di Indonesia: Kelelahan Fisik-Mental-Sosial, Kepuasan Kerja, Konsep Sumber Bahaya, dan Konsep Biaya Kecelakaan

Abstract

Sustainable forest management requires attention to the protection of occupational safety and health (OSH), in addition to attention to aspects of work productivity, and the welfare of managers/ workers. In Indonesia, these four aspects, which are the main objectives of ergonomics studies, have not received much attention, although forest management activities are activities with a high risk of OSH disorders. This study aims to present an overview of the conditions of physical-mental-social fatigue, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), job satisfaction, perception of hazards sources, and perception toward work accident costs from workers involved in forest management activities in Indonesia. Fatigue status was measured using the Cumulative Fatigue Symptom Index (CFSI) and MSDs were investigated using Standardized Nordic Questionnaire (SNQ). Job satisfaction, perception of the source of danger, and the cost of accidents were traced using questionnaires and interviews (face to face, open and semi-structured questions). Data were taken from 98 respondents consisting of forest rangers, forest inventory workers, logging supervisors, and administrative staff during February 2016-October 2017. The CFSI analysis shows that forest guarding and forest inventory have caused intense physical and mental fatigue (in the form of excessive anxiety). The SNQ analysis confirms intense MSDs complaints at the waist, back, neck, shoulders, and arm. The general characteristics of the respondents were having: (1) limited financial capacity, (2) inadequate knowledge to recognize various potential hazards sources at work, and (3) inappropriate understanding of the concept of accident costs. The limitations on the respondents' cognitive, has made participatory OSH mechanisms alone (to improve OSH protection) is not an appropriate option. Efforts to improve OHS protection should be carried out in the form of (1) improving workplace facilities (health facilities, social and communication facilities, accessibility), (2) improving remuneration, and (3) improving knowledge on the concepts of the source of hazards and accident cost.

Ergonomic Analysis of Traditional Pine Oleoresin Tapping: Musculoskeletal Disorders, Cumulative Fatigue, and Job Satisfaction

“…The finding that being permanent workers is associated with high job satisfaction also has been verified in another study carried out to permanent workers. This study confirmed that status as permanent workers related to a high level of job satisfaction (Yovi 2019). It seems that the level of dependency on forestry work to make a living, which is quite high in these two previous studies (80-100% of monthly income derived from forestry work), is the reason behind different employment status preferences.…”

“…These groups of workers are field workers who use the physical while doing their work. It should be noted that different situations occurred in forest inventory workers who have a high anxiety disorder (Yovi 2019). The work location and work characteristics among inventory workers seem to be a determining factor for the occurrence of severe mental fatigue symptoms.…”

“…The three dimensions are classified into eight sub-dimensions with 75 questions (Table 1) (Yoshimura and Acar 2004). The Indonesian version of the questionnaires is available in Yovi (2019). The equation for each question is: = where r indicates the complaint rate for each question, y indicates the total "yes" answer within each question, and T indicates the total number of respondents involved.…”

“…Due to the type of commodity, resources, and social context, forest product harvesting activities in Indonesia are carried out at various levels of technological application, ranging from the conventional or manual system (labor-intensive) to semimechanical system (Yovi and Andriyani 2019). Regardless of the level of technology used, this operation has a high-risk that may threaten the worker's occupational safety and health (Lindroos and Burström 2010;Potočnik et al 2009;Tsioras et al 2014;Yovi 2019;Yovi and Yamada 2019).…”

“…Angka ini sangat mempengaruhi kondisi finansial pekerja di kedua kelompok. Sebagai perbandingan, ratarata rasio belanja makanan terhadap total penghasilan bulanan pada kelompok operator dan supervisor masing-masing adalah 53% (Yovi & Yamada, 2019) dan 46% (Yovi, 2019). Kedua angka ini jauh melebihi angka yang diperoleh dari pengamatan terhadap nilai belanja makanan pada keluarga dengan kemampuan ekonomi terbatas (lemah) (Castner & Mabli, 2010).…”
