Abstract
Welding is a job has a high physical risk so that in the process requires considerable skill and specialized equipment. This research was conducted to analyze the UV radiation, workers factors and factors of personal protective equipment that may affect the acute photokeratitis symptoms on welders at the welding workshop Division Kapal Niaga of PT. PAL Indonesia (Persero) Surabaya. This research used a cross-sectional observational analytic method by using a quantitative approach. Observations and interviews were conducted on a sample of 32 workers. The data analysis consisted of univariable and bivariable analysis that used Spearman's test with a = 0.05. The research results show that a significant correlation exists between workers factors ( the age , length of employment , old workings , the distance welding ) with symptoms photokeratitis acute, there were a significant correlation between the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) with symptoms photokeratitis acute, there were a significant correlation between ultraviolet (UV) radiation with acute photokeratitis symptoms and there were no significant correlation between duration of exposure to the acute photokeratitis symptoms.

Summary
Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan metode analitik observasional cross sectional dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif [5]. Observasi dan wawancara dilakukan pada sampel penelitian 32 pekerja. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode simple random sampling dan dengan menggunakan rumus perhitungan sampel dari Lameshow [6]. Observasi dan wawancara dilakukan untuk mendapatkan informasi yang lebih mendalam tentang variabel-variabel yang diteliti. Variabel bebas dalam penelitian ini yaitu faktor pekerja, penggunaan alat pelindung diri, dan radiasi sinar UV, sedangkan variabel terikat pada penelitian ini adalah gejala fotokeratitis akut. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan wawancara, observasi, pengukuran dan dokumentasi. Pada pengambilan data radiasi sinar UV menggunakan alat ukur radiatometer UV dan untuk pengukuran jarak pengelasan menggunakan alat ukur meteran. Teknik penyajian data dalam penelitian ini adalah dalam bentuk teks (textular) dan tabel [7]. Analisis data terdiri dari analisis univariabel dan analisis bivariabel yang menggunakan uji Spearman dengan α=0,05
