“…The recommended workplace temperature in the workplace is 24-26°C (dry temperature) at a humidity of 85%-95% and a wet temperature between 22-30°C; the temperature is a temperature that is considered comfortable for the people of Indonesia [22]. Work in the wood factory industry is a type of work with a moderate workload; the allowable threshold value for working time is 75%-100%, which is 28°C [1]. If the workforce works in a workplace with heat stress exceeding the threshold value, it can experience the impact of heat stress.…”

Background: As a country with a developed industry, the majority of entrepreneurs in Indonesia use modern industrial tools to help make their work easier. However, using modern technology causes side effects, such as noise from machines that cause hearing complaints. In addition, the hot work environment causes discomfort during work, and the excessive physical workload makes workers experience health complaints. Methods: This quantitative research uses a cross-sectional study approach with a purposive sampling technique. The sample consisted of 60 workers from a total of 126 in a wood factory in Semarang. The research instrument is a health complaint questionnaire sheet and a noise (a sound level meter), a physical workload (an oximeter), and a heat pressure (the QUESTemp). Data was analyzed by univariate and bivariate using the chi-square test. Results: The highest noise intensity is 98.02 dB, the highest heat pressure is 33.4°C, and the majority of the physical workload felt by workers is in the medium category. The chi-square test shows a relationship between noise intensity, heat stress, and health complaints of workers in a Semarang wood factory (p<0.05). Meanwhile, physical workload has no relationship with the health complaints of workers at the Semarang wood factory (p>0.05). Conclusion: Semarang wood factory has noise intensity and heat stress exceeding the threshold value, and most workers experience moderate physical workloads. The company should direct control of workers through the use of personal protective equipment and adequate drinking water, as well as controlling physical workloads on workers with workplace stretching exercises.

Introducción: La industria de construcción es el principal sector de riesgo en accidentes laborales, en comparación con otros sectores. Las actividades más peligrosas están relacionadas con la manipulación de maquinaria pesada, de ahí el interés por la aplicación de programas de seguridad y salud para generar cultura saludable, segura y digna en los entornos laborales. Objetivo: Mencionar los factores de riesgo, causas de accidentalidad, el sistema de seguridad y salud en dicha industria y las estrategias de prevención con este tipo de incidentes respecto a la utilización de maquinaria pesada en la construcción. Metodología: Revisión bibliográfica a partir de la consulta en bases de datos y artículos de revistas publicados entre 2015 y 2020, y documentación con fechas anteriores como referente teórico, además de documentación en idioma inglés de Academic One File, SciELO, ScienceDirect, Google Académico y bases de datos de Colmena Seguros, Gobierno Digital, donde describen los factores de accidentalidad en la construcción. Resultados: El 75 % de los casos de accidentes en la construcción es por el uso de máquinas, al que se suman actos inseguros, falta de preparación y elementos de protección, distracciones, etc. Para evitar incidentes se ha estipulado el uso de normas de seguridad OSHA, capacitaciones y uso seguro de maquinaria pesada. Conclusión: Se identificaron las causas relevantes de accidentes en obras de construcción y la carencia de un plan de prevención por parte del contratista para obtener seguridad, aunque en ocasiones se identifica que los obreros hacen caso omiso a las normativas impuestas.

“…The authors integrated the theory with the DEA methodology and found a strong evidence for the implementation of monitoring and assessment of risk in the sector. Shin et al, (2021) examined the issues of construction industry indicating the need of research for the OHS regulations. Hence, the authors measured the innovative efficiencies for Korea through DEA.…”

The rapid pace of industrialization and sectoral transformation have not only induced rapid economic progress yet also engaged policy think tanks to consider the safety performance due to the increasing rate of injuries. These increasing workplace hazards have affected occupational efficiencies as well as worker’s performance. Hence, a comprehensive analysis of occupation injuries of workers (OIW) is crucial to determine the safety performance of high and low-risk industries in Pakistan. This study aims to incorporate the OIW for the estimation of the safety performance of industries employing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This non-parametric technique allows calculating relative efficiencies incorporating inputs and outputs (both desirable and undesirable). The findings of the SBM-DEA model and sensitivity analyses pointed out improvements in the farm sector and demanded more comprehensive analyses for the non-farm sectors.
