Abstract

Risk Management in Palm Oil Fruit Harvesting Activities Using the Hirarc PT method. Prima Artha Dynamics. This research is motivated by a source of danger in oil palm fruit harvesting activities with the risk of work accidents in oil palm fruit harvesting activities. Therefore, the aim of this research is to analyze the main causes of the risk of work accidents in oil palm fruit harvesting activities, to analyze the severity of the risk of work accidents in oil palm fruit harvesting activities, To determine the steps taken to control the risk of work accidents in oil palm fruit harvesting activities. This research uses the HIRARC (Hazard Identification Risk Assessment Risk Control) method, namely by identifying sources of danger, analyze the level of risk and risk control efforts. Data was obtained through interviews with 18 harvest employees. From the results of this research, there are main causes that are a source of danger and risk for oil palm fruit harvesting activities, namely slippery land, palm fruit bunches, sharp objects, palm fronds, snake droppings/powder, centipedes and wasps.
