Analysis of Fly Trap Operations in Hospital Temporary Waste Dumps

Abstract

Regulations on hospital environmental health are still not popular in the community. One of them relates to hospital waste management which has not been a concern. However, the development of science and technology has resulted in advanced tools and machines that are adapted to the environmental conditions. Many types of fly control are available, such as fly traps in temporary garbage dumps in hospitals. This study aims to analyze operational needs and problems that can be encountered from implementing fly trap technology in hospitals. This study consists of three stages: budgeting, calculating the Kepner-Tregoe Situation Appraisal (KTSA), and conducting the Kepner-Tregoe Potential Problem Analysis (KTPPA). The total operational costs required for this tool are IDR 887,496 which includes the component of preventing problems possibly faced in the fly trap operations. Identification of tool constraints in the operation consists of damage of the fly trap net, piled up garbage due to overloading in the garbage dump, blockage of the inlet hole to the fly trap, and contact of the garbage collector with the waste at the TPS. There are four potential problems identified in implementing the fly traps, where possible causes, preventive actions, and contingent actions can be taken to overcome these potential problems.
