Abstract

The use of production machines for a rice mill creates noise in the workplace, in addition to causing hearing loss and also disrupting work performance. So that the potential danger of noise at work must be controlled. The purpose of this study was to determine the noise mapping and implementation of a hearing conservation program in the Griyan Karanganyar rice mill. The research methods used in this paper is descriptive method describing research data in the form of noise map using the surfer 13 application and assessment of hearing conservation programs through the employee assessment form. The results of data collection in the thresher machine area = 110.15 dBA, in the skin crushing machine area = 109.39 dBA, in the bleaching machine area = 107.97 dBA, in the sifting area = 85.56 dBA and in the drying area = 80.53 dBA. All above Threshold Limited Value (TLV) except in the drying area. Overall stated that the Hearing Conservation Program (HCP) was declared unsuccessful from the worker's assessment of 40% agreeing and 60% disagreeing.

Highlights

  • Every activity carried out always involves human factors, machinery, materials and the stages of the process that can cause the risk of danger with different levels of risk that allows accidents and diseases caused by work

  • The results of the data collection are compared with the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 2018 concerning Occupational Health and Safety of the Work Environment [7] and noise mapping data are made which describe the relative location of all noise sampling points

  • Based on Permenaker No 5 of 2018 concerning Occupational Health and Safety of the Work Environment which states that the Threshold Limited Value for the exposure of 8 hours per day or 40 hours in one week is 85 dBA [7], which is not in accordance with the TLV is the area of thresher machines, skin crushing machines, bleaching machines and sifting areas

Summary

Introduction

Every activity carried out always involves human factors, machinery, materials and the stages of the process that can cause the risk of danger with different levels of risk that allows accidents and diseases caused by work. The risk of accidents and diseases caused by work is caused by the presence of sources of danger originating from work activities in the workplace. Labor is a company asset that is very important in the production process, so efforts are needed so that the health and safety of the workforce is always safe. In all workplaces there are always sources of danger. Control of hazard sources aims to reduce losses caused by accidents and occupational diseases [1]
