The results of the community service carried out in the tile industry showed an increase in knowledge from the average pre-test was 12.7 and the post-test was 14 (the highest score was 15). Another result of this service shows that health complaints among tile industry workers are pain in the joints and back and fatigue due to heat and thirst, several other complaints that arise include cough, shortness of breath, visual and hearing impairment.
