Abstract
The furniture industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly that leads to technological development. But the use of technology in the industry creates some risk to worker safety. The number of work accidents in Indonesia at the end of 2016 is relatively high. Therefore, this research is conducted to identify hazards and determine risk control using hazard identification and risk assessment method (HIRA). There are three main stages, i.e. identify and analyze hazards, classify hazards and risk control. The result shows that there are nine potential hazards in furniture production, 22% of it is categorized as high risk level, i.e. hand slashed and fingers cut by machine. Three types of risk control activities are determined to minimize the risk, i.e. administration and engineering control and personal protective equipment.
Highlights
The furniture industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly so it gives a big influence to a rapid development of technology
hazard identification and risk assessment method (HIRA) is a method for identifying and measuring potential hazard at a workplace that can cause a loss of company or individual
This research is conducted in an Indonesian furniture industry located in West Java using HIRA method
Summary
The furniture industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly so it gives a big influence to a rapid development of technology. Work accidents have three main elements, i.e. unexpected, causing material and nonmaterial losses and disruption of work processes [2] Some of these conditions are caused by poor worker safety and health management. Production processes that occur have a great potential hazards, the state of the environment that uses energy is one of the causes of workplace accidents in the work environment. An evaluation is required to minimize the potential hazards and risks that occur based on the production process. HIRA is used to measure risk level of some potential hazards on the foundry production process [9]. Risk assessment and determining control (HIRADC) is applied in manufacturing process to prevent accident in workplace [11]. There are five types of hazards that are identified and a recommendation is to minimize the risk level
