Abstract

Terminal workers work with physical load activities every day and are in a hot work climate, which has the potential to experience status disturbances, potentially resulting in hydration problems. The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship between Heat stress and Physical Workload and Hydration Status of Tirtonadi Bus StationWorkers in Surakarta. research design using observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 48 people was taken by simple random sampling technique. Heat stress is measured by heat stress area, physical workload with SNI 726/2009, and hydration status by urine specific gravity examination. the average heat stress measurement results amounted to 34.75 ° C. the correlation between independent and dependent variables shows there is a significant relationship between heat stress and physical workload with hydration status with p-value = 0,000 and r = -0,799, and p-value = 0.028 and r = 0.317. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between heat stress and hydration status, and there is a significant correlation between physical workload and the hydration status of workers at the Tirtonadi Surakata Terminal.

Highlights

The current era of globalization, development throughout the world is developing rapidly
Measurement of heat stress variable instruments was measured using a Heat Stress Area Tool, Physical workload research instrument based on SNI 7269 of 2009, namely by observing and analyzing work based on the level of calorie expenditure hydration status using urine specific gravity laboratory tests
The average Tirtonadi Bus Stationworker worked for 19 years

Summary

Introduction

The current era of globalization, development throughout the world is developing rapidly. Increased transportation has an impact on the environment and humans. For example, the existence of hot climate changes can affect the surrounding workforce [1]. Research by the American Consultant Institute says that there is an increase in the field of transportation every day in the world. The physical workload is a natural burden by labor due to work performed [3]. Physical workload has a difference in each job. The working climate in Indonesia is tropical so that it has a temperature of 24 ͦ C and 26 ͦ C, Indonesian people who get a hot heat stress result in a disturbed balance of bodily functions [4]
