Analysis of potential work accidents using hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control (HIRARC) method

Abstract

Batik Merak Manis Laweyan is one of the batik industry in Surakarta, where in the production process there are the potential accidents. The company also has provided personal protective equipment to workers to minimize the risk, but in reality, not all workers use personal protective equipment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the potential hazards that may occur and determine root causes of the occurrence so as to minimize the number of occupational accidents. This research uses the method of Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC) in analyzing potential hazards that may occur in the workplace by identifying hazards, risk assessment, and rank the risks. The risks that have the highest ratings will then be analyzed using the method of Fault Tree Analysis to find out the root cause of the occurrence. The results showed that there were 15 potential hazards, where two potential hazards have a high-risk level, 6 potential hazards have a medium risk level and 7 potential hazards have a low-risk level. Two potential hazards with high risk, it is known that factors causing potential hazards are a factor of dye used, the use of personal protective equipment such as masks, or the space factor of production.
