Occupational safety and
health difilosofikan as a thought and effort to ensure the integrity and
perfection both corporal and spiritual labor in particular and people
in general, and cultural work towards affluent and prosperous society.
While understanding the
science is a science and its application in an effort to prevent
possible accidents and occupational diseases.
Occupational health and
safety (K3) can not be separated by the process of both services and
industrial production. Developments lead to the
development of post-independence Indonesia consequences resulting
increased work intensity is increasing the risk of accidents in the
workplace.
It also resulted in an
increased demand higher in preventing accidents diverse forms and types
of accident. Accordingly, the
construction of the development undertaken is then drafted Act 14 of
1969 on issues concerning labor later changed into Law No.12 of 2003
concerning employment.
In Article 86 of Law 13
of 2003, states that every employee or worker has the right to
protection of health and safety, morals and decency and treatment in
accordance with the dignity and religious values.
To anticipate these
problems, it issued legislation and regulations in the field of
occupational safety and health regulations in place before the
Veiligheids Reglement, Stbl 406 in 1910 which is considered to be
inadequate to face the progress and developments.
The regulation is Act 1
of 1970 on the safety of its scope of work includes any work
environment, whether on land, in the soil, surface water, in the water
or air, which is in the jurisdiction of the Republic of Indonesia.
The law also regulates
safety requirements from the planning, manufacture, transport,
distribution, trading, installation, usage, use, maintenance and storage
of materials, goods and technical products containing production
apparatus and could pose a hazard.
Although many regulations
were issued, but the implementation is still a lot of flaws and
weaknesses due to the limited control personnel, human resources, and
facilities of existing K3. Therefore, it is
necessary to empower K3 institutions in society, increase socialization
and cooperation with social partners to assist in the implementation of
the supervision order norm K3 terjalan well.
A. Occupational Health
Understanding healthy
always described as a state of physical, mental and social person who is
not only free of disease or health problems but also showed the ability
to interact with the environment and jobs.
The new paradigm in
health aspect to strive for a healthy stay healthy and not just cure,
treat or cure any illness or disease. Therefore, the main
concern in the health sector is more aimed towards the prevention of
disease and the likelihood of maintaining optimum health.
The health status of a
person.
* According to Blum
(1981) is determined by four factors namely:
1. Environment, such as the
physical environment (natural, synthetic) chemistry (organic /
inorganic, heavy metals, dust), biological (viruses, bacteria,
microorganisms) and socio-cultural (economic, education, occupation).
2. Behavior that includes
attitudes, habits, behaviors.
3. 3. health care: promotion,
care, treatment, prevention of disability, rehabilitation, and
4. 4. genetically, which is a
factor of every human innate.
* According Suma'mur
(1976) Occupational health is a specialized health science / medicine
and its practice, which aims to enable workers / community health
workers to obtain the highest degree of physical, mental and social well
with preventive or curative efforts against diseases / health problems
caused by job factors and work
environment as well as to common illnesses, health concept nowadays more
and more change, not just a "health industry" alone but also lead to
health improvement for all people in doing their jobs (total health of
all at work).
* According Sumakmur
(1988) Occupational health is a specialization in the health sciences /
medical practice with a purpose, so that the workers / community workers
and health degrees earn the highest possible, physically, or mentally,
and socially, with the efforts of preventive and curative , to disease diseases /
health problems caused by work factors and work environment, as well as
against common diseases.
Occupational health has
the following properties:
a. The goal is human
b. Medical nature.
B. Safety
Safety or Occupational
Safety, in terms of day to day safety course is often referred to, is
defined as a philosophy of thought and effort to preserve the unity and
perfection of both physical and spiritual labor in particular and
mankind in general and the results of culture and his work. In terms of science is
defined as a knowledge and its application in an effort to prevent
possible accidents and occupational diseases.
Definition of Industrial
Accidents (accident) is an event or undesirable adverse effects on
humans, damaging property or loss to process.
Understanding Almost
Alas, that in terms of safety referred to the incident (incident), there
is also a mention of the term "near-miss" or "near-accident" is an
event or events that are not desirable where the circumstances are a
little different will cause harm to humans, property
damage or loss to the
Safety is concerned with
the safety of machines, appliances, instruments of labor, materials and
processing, foundation work and environment and ways to do the job
(Sumakmur, 1993).
Safety has the following
properties:
a. The goal is to work
environment
b. Technical nature.
Pengistilahan Safety and
Health work (or vice versa) different kinds: there are
The company called
Hygiene and Health at Work (Hyperkes) and there are only abbreviated
K3, and in terms of known
alien Occupational Safety and Health.
C. The purpose K3
The general objective of
the K3 is creating a workforce healthy and productive.
Hyperkes objective can be
detailed as follows (Rachman, 1990):
1. In order for labor and
everyone is at work always in good health and safe.
2. Production resources in
order to run smoothly without any hitch.
D. Scope of K3
Hyperkes scope can be
explained as follows (Rachman, 1990):
* Health and safety are
applied in all workplaces in which involves aspects of human labor,
occupational hazards and effort put.
* Aspect of protection in
hyperkes include:
1. Labor of all types and
levels of expertise
2. Equipment and materials
used
3. Environmental factors of
physical, biological, chemical, and social.
4. The production process
5. Characteristics and
nature of work
6. Technology and
methodology of work
* Application Hyperkes
implemented holistically from planning to acquisition activity results
from industrial goods and services.
* All parties involved in
the process industry / company partially responsible for the success of
the business hyperkes.
B. Policy implementation of
occupational health and safety in the global era
1. In the field of
organization
In Indonesia K3 handled
by two departments: the Department of Health and the Department of
Manpower and Transmigration.
At the Ministry handled
by DG (Directorate General) Guidance and Inspection, where there are 4
Director:
1. Director of Labour
Inspection
2. Director for Women and
Children Working Norms
3. Director for Safety,
which consists of Kasubdit; Kasubdit mechanics, aircraft and vessel
steam tekan.Kasubdit building construction, electrical installations and
lightning protection, Sub Director of Institutional Development and
employment safety expertise
4. Director Occupational
Health Surveillance, which consists of Kasubdit; Kasubdit health
workforce, Kasubdit Control Work Environment, Development Kasubdit
institutional and occupational health expertise.
At the Department of
Health itself is handled by the Occupational Health Department of
Health. In an effort to staple
Health Center are the Occupational Health Efforts (UKK) that target
their work more on Informal sector (farmers, fishermen, craftsmen, etc.)
2. In the area of
regulation
Regulations issued by the
Government are many, including:
1. Act No. 1 of 1970 on
Occupational Safety
2. Law No. 13 Year 2003
3. No. KEPMENKES
1405/Menkes/SK/XI/2002 on Occupational Environmental Health Office

7. Menaker Decree No. Kep
79/MEN/2003 on Guidelines for Diagnosis and Assessment of Disability
Due to Accident and Occupational Diseases.
3. In the field of education
The government has
established and education to generate power for a K3 at all levels of
Education, for example:
1. Diploma 3 Hiperkes at the
University Eleven March
2. Strata 1 at the School of
Public Health at the University of Airlangga K3 particular
specialization, Undip, etc. and majoring K3 FKM UI.
3. Starta 2 on specialized
Post Graduate Studies Program K3, for example in the UGM, UNDIP, UI,
Airlangga University.
In some sort of health
Diploma Environmental Health and Nursing credits and there are also some
sub subject of a special study courses K3.
C. Work accidents
1. Definition
According to Minister of
Manpower Regulation No. 03 / MEN/1998 on Procedures for Accident
Reporting and Investigation that is an accident is an event that is not
desirable and is not expected to give rise to the original human
casualties and or property.
2. Causes of accidents
In general, there are two
causes of work accidents, the underlying cause (basic causes), and the
direct (immediate causes)
a. Basic Causes
1) The human factor /
personal, partly because:
lack of physical ability,
mental, and psychological
kurangny / lack of
knowledge and skills / expertise.
stress
motivation is not enough /
wrong
2) Factors labor /
environment, partly because:
and not enough leadership
or supervision
insufficient engineering
(engineering)
insufficient purchasing /
procurement
insufficient maintenance
(maintenance)
not enough tools,
equipment and berang-barang/bahan-bahan.
insufficient labor
standards
abuse
b. Direct Cause
1) The hazards (unsafe
conditions / circumstances that are not standard) that the action will
cause an accident, for example (Budiono, Sugeng, 2003):
Equipment safety /
protective / barrier is inadequate or does not qualify.
Materials, broken
alat-alat/peralatan
Too crowded / narrow
Warning systems are less
mamadai
The dangers of fire and
explosion
Neatness / layout
(housekeeping) poor
Hazardous / toxic gas,
dust, smoke, steam, etc.
Noisy
Exposure to radiation
Ventilation and lighting
are less
2) The dangerous (unsafe
act / acts that are not standard) is behavior, behavior or action that
would cause an accident, for example (Budiono, Sugeng, 2003):
Operate the tool /
equipment without authority.
Failed to give a warning.
Failed to secure.
Working with the wrong
speed.
Causing safety equipment
is not functioning.
Transferring the means of
salvation.
Using the tool is
damaged.
Using the tools in the
wrong way.
Failure to wear
protective equipment / safety of themselves properly.
Data on Occupational
Accidents
Soekotjo Joedoatmodjo,
Chairman of the Board of Occupational Safety and Health Agency (DK3N)
states that the frequency of accidents in the enterprise is increasing,
while the employers' awareness of the Occupational Health and Safety
(K3) is still low, the more concern entrepreneurs and small and medium
enterprise sector workers identical to assessing K3 costs thus become a
burden, not a necessity. Note Jamsostek in the
last three years (1999 - 2001) proved to be the number of cases of
occupational accidents has increased from 82,456 cases in 1999 increased
to 98,902 cases in 2000 and developed into 104,774 cases in 2001. For numbers 2002 through
June, there were 57 972 cases, so average - the average per working day
occurs at least more than 414 cases of occupational accidents in
companies listed as members of the Social Security. At least 9.5 percent of
the cases of accident disability, the 5476 workers, so that almost every
working day over 39 people employment experience disability. (Www.gatra.com)
Director of Operations
and Services PT Jamsostek (Persero), Djoko Sungkono stated that based on
available data on the PT Jamsostek during January-September 2003 for a
period in Indonesia have been 81 169 cases of occupational accidents, so
that on average each day going over 451 accident cases. He said of the 81,169
cases of occupational accidents, including 71 cases of permanent total
disability, so that on average every three days of labor is completely
disabled and unable to work again. "While labor as much as
1321 people died, so almost every working day there are more than seven
cases of death due to accidents," he said (www.kompas.co.id)
According to the
International Labour Organization (ILO), each year there are 1.1 million
deaths caused by disease or accidents due to the employment
relationship. Approximately 300,000
deaths occur from accidents and the remaining 250 million are deaths due
to disease due to the employment relationship, which is estimated to
occur 160 million new jobs relationships diseases each year (Center for
Occupational Health, 2005)
Risk Factors in the
Workplace
With regard to the
factors that affect health, as mentioned above, in doing the work to
consider a variety of potential hazards and risks that may result from
the work or the workings of the system, the use of machines, tools and
materials, and the environment as well as human factors.
The term hazard or
potential hazard indicate the existence of something with the potential
to cause injury or illness, damage or loss that may be experienced by
labor or agency. 're Likely to manifest
the potential dangers, often called risk. Both the "hazard" and
"risk" is not always a danger, as long as control efforts implemented.
In the workplace, health
and performance of one's labor is influenced by:
1. Workloads such as
physical load, mental and social order placement efforts of workers
according to their ability to consider
2. Work Capacity depends a
lot on education, skills, physical fitness, body size, nutritional
status, and so on.
3. Work environment as an
additional burden, in the form of physical, chemical, biological,
ergonomic, and psychosocial aspects.
Health and Safety (K3) in
every workplace including in the health sector. For that we need to
develop and improve the health sector K3 as low as possible in order to
reduce the risk of accidents and diseases arising out of employment, and
increase productivity and efficiency.
In the implementation of
the daily work of employees / workers in the health sector is no
exception in the hospital and offices, will be exposed to hazards in the
workplace. These risks range from
the mildest to the most severe depending on the type of work.
From the results of
research in health facilities Hospital, about 1505 women workers in
Paris Hospital musculoskeletal disorders (16%) where 47% of the
interference of pain in the spine and hips. And reported also in 5057
female nurses in 18 hospital acquired 566 female nurses causal
relationship between exposure to anesthetic gases neoropsikologi
symptoms which include nausea, fatigue, tingling, cramping in the arms
and hands.
In the office, a study of
a modern office building in Singapore reported that 33% of 312
respondents found to have symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Complaints they generally
get tired of 45%, 40% nasal congestion, headache 46%, 16% skin redness,
43% dry throat, eye irritation 37%, 31% weaker.
In Act No. 23 of 1992 on
Health, Article 23 states that the occupational health occupational
health efforts shall be organized in each run movement for genuine work,
especially work that has a great health hazard for workers to work in a
healthy manner without endangering themselves themselves and the
society around them, to obtain an optimal work productivity, in line
with the labor protection.

D. Safety work legislation
Article 10
(1) Minister of Labor
Trustees authorized membertuk Safety Committee to promote cooperation,
mutual understanding and effective participation of the employers or
management and labor in the workplace to carry out the duties and
responsibilities shared in the field of occupational safety and health,
in order to expedite production effort.
(2) The composition of
the Committee of Trustees and the Occupational Health and Safety, and
other duties assigned by the Minister of Labour.
E. Importance of Safety and
Health at Work
Occupational Health and
Safety as an applied science, which is multidisciplinary in today's
global era are developed in the scientific aspects (education and
research) and in the form of programs implemented in various sectors of
the course implementation based on a variety of reasons.
According to the World
Health Organization (WHO), 45% of the world population and 58% of the
population aged over ten years of labor classified. Estimated from the amount
of labor above, by 35% to 50% of the world's workers exposed to
physical, chemical, biological, and also work in the physical workload
and ergonomics that exceeds its capacity, including the psychological
burden and stress. It also said that almost
the majority of workers in the world, a third of his life exposed to the
dangers that exist in each job. And a very
memperihatinkan is that only 5% to 10% of the workforce was receiving
occupational health services in the country is growing. While in industrialized
countries obtain employment occupational health services are estimated
to reach 50%. Above clearly illustrates
the fact that the actual rights of workers to live healthy and happy
adults has yet to be fulfilled. There are still many
people in order to be able to survive even compromising the health and
safety at work place filled with a variety of hazards that have a direct
risk or unknown risk of the new after quite a long time. From the description
above will be understood that the Occupational Health and Safety as well
as the science program are necessary to uphold human rights (especially
workers) to live healthy and happy.
On the other hand, a
study on the economic cost aspects or aspects that must be borne by the
countries in the world with respect to occupational diseases and
work-related, compensation costs to be borne due to injury, disability
due to an accident is a burden to be bear. Not to mention other
losses due to loss of work days lost, property damage, production delays
due to accidents. Surely loss (loss)
resulting from health problems or safety problems if not controlled
properly will be a burden now or in the future. Because that's
Occupational Health and Safety as an applied science and in various
forms of program is necessary for future losses that may occur would be
minimized or eliminated if it is possible.
Of course, in order to
uphold the human right to a healthy and safe, and not the various losses
and economic burden as described, developed the law (legal) at the
international, regional, national naupun. We know there are various
conventions related to health and safety issues at the international
and regional levels need to be adhered to. There is also in various
forms of regulation or specific standards relating to health and safety
issues. In this context
Occupational Health and Safety as well as the scholarship program helps
the implementation of the legal aspects. Even with a scientific
approach through research or research conducted OHS helped also provide
input on policy making in setting certain standards in health and
safety.
Thus the presence of OHS
as a scientific approach and in various forms of programs in various
sectors is not without reason. The first reason is
because the human right to a healthy and safe, and the second reason is
economic reasons in order to avoid losses and economic burden due to
health and safety issues, and the third reason is the reason of law.
F. Basic Concept of
Occupational Safety and Health
Occupational Health and
Safety for a multidisciplinary applied science as well as a program that
is based and the reasons tetentu by a need to be understood and studied
in general and in particular. In general, is to
understand the basic principles while particular approach is to
understand the science involved in the respective Occupational Health
and Safety.
As a multidisciplinary
science, in fact Occupational Safety and Health has the objective to
minimize or eliminate potential hazards or risks that may result in pain
and injuries and losses that may occur. Conceptual framework to
think OHS is to avoid the risk of pain and woe with the scientific and
practical approach to systematically (systematic), and in the frame of
mind kesistiman (system oriented).
To understand the causes
and the sick and wretched, first to understand the potential danger
(hazard) exist, then the need to recognize (identify) the potential
hazards earlier, existence, type, patterns of interaction, and so on. After that assessment
needs to be done (asess, evaluate) how he or she can lead hazard risk
(risk) pain and woe, followed by determining the various ways (control,
manage) to control or overcome.
Systematic steps are not
different from the steps in controlling systematic risk (risk
management). Therefore, the basic
mindset in Occupational Health and Safety in essence is how to manage
risk and of course in an attempt to control the risk of each field of
science will have distinct approaches that are very special.
Occupational Health and
Safety which has a frame of mind that is systematic and kesistiman
oriented before, certainly not in vain their practical application in
various sectors in life or in an organization. Therefore in order to
implement safety and health is necessary also organizing well and
properly. In this connection it is
necessary Management System Occupational Health and Safety Integrated
(Integrated Occupational Health and Safety Management System) that need
to be owned by each organization. Through the system of
occupational safety and health management is thinking and various
approaches that exist integrated into the entire organization to
organization operations can produce in a healthy and safe, efficient,
and produce products that are healthy and safe as well and not cause
unintended environmental impacts.
The need for organization
has safety and health management system that integrated working is,
today is a must and it has to be the rule. International Labour
Organization (ILO) published guidelines for Safety Management System and
Occupational Health. In Indonesia, a similar
guide known as SMK3, being in America OSHAS 1800-1, 1800-2 and BS 8800
in the UK and in Australia called AS / NZ 480-1. More extensively in every
sector of industry associations in the world also issued similar
guidelines such as special field of air transport, oil and gas, and
nuclear plants and so forth. Even today the
organization is not only required to have a safety management system and
integrated occupational health, more so the organization is expected to
have a healthy and safe culture (safety and health culture) in which
each of its members showing safe and healthy behaviors.
G. Description-Description
of Other
1) health and safety
conditions (K3) companies in Indonesia are generally estimated
is low. In 2005 Indonesia
occupies a bad position far below Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and
Thailand. These conditions reflect
the readiness of the company's competitiveness in the international
Indonesia is still very low. Indonesia will be
difficult to face the global market due to the inefficiency of labor
utilization (low labor productivity). Though the company's
progress is determined the role of quality manpower. Therefore in addition to
the company's attention, the government should facilitate the
regulations or the rules of safety and health protection. Nuance must be humane or
dignified.
Safety has been a concern
among government and business for a long time. Safety factor is
important because it is linked to the performance of the employee and in
turn the company's performance. More and safety of
facilities the less the likelihood of accidents.
2) Safety and health
difilosofikan as a thought and effort to preserve the unity and
perfection of both body and spirit of labor in particular and people in
general, and cultural work towards affluent and prosperous society.
While understanding the
science is a science and its application in an effort to prevent
possible accidents and occupational diseases.
Occupational health and
safety (K3) can not be separated by the process of both services and
industrial production. Developments lead to the
development of post-independence Indonesia consequences resulting
increased work intensity is increasing the risk of accidents in the
workplace.
It also resulted in an
increased demand higher in preventing accidents diverse forms and types
of accident. Accordingly, the
construction of the development undertaken is then drafted Act 14 of
1969 on issues concerning labor later changed into Law No.12 of 2003
concerning employment.
In Article 86 of Law 13
of 2003, states that every employee or worker has the right to
protection of health and safety, morals and decency and treatment in
accordance with the dignity and religious values.
To anticipate these
problems, it issued legislation and regulations in the field of
occupational safety and health regulations in place before the
Veiligheids Reglement, Stbl 406 in 1910 which is considered to be
inadequate to face the progress and developments.
The regulation is Act 1
of 1970 on the safety of its scope of work includes any work
environment, whether on land, in the soil, surface water, in the water
or air, which is in the jurisdiction of the Republic of Indonesia.
The law also regulates
safety requirements from the planning, manufacture, transport,
distribution, trading, installation, usage, use, maintenance and storage
of materials, goods and technical products containing production
apparatus and could pose a hazard.
Although many regulations
were issued, but the implementation is still a lot of flaws and
weaknesses due to the limited control personnel, human resources, and
facilities of existing K3. Therefore, it is
necessary to empower K3 institutions in society, increase socialization
and cooperation with social partners to assist in the implementation of
the supervision order norm K3 terjalan well.
Environment
H. Environmental Health
Concepts and Limitations
1. Understanding health
a) According to WHO
"The state of health
which includes physical, mental, and social development that does not
just mean a state that is free from disease and disability."
b) According to the Law
No. 23/1992 know about health
"The state of being of
body, soul and social life that allows any person socially and
economically productive."
2. Understanding the
environment
According to the
Encyclopaedia of science and technology (1960)
"A number of outside
conditions and affect the life and development of organisms."
According to the
Encyclopedia Americana (1974)
"The effect of that is on
top / around the organism."
According A.L. Slamet Riyadi (1976)
"The settlement with
everything in which the organism lives and all the circumstances and
conditions that directly or indirectly influence the foreseeable level
of life and health of the organism."
3. Understanding
environmental health
According HAKLI
(Association of Indonesian Environmental Health Specialist)
"An environment that can
sustain a dynamic ecological balance between man and the environment to
support the achievement of the quality of human life that is healthy and
happy."
According to WHO (World
Health Organization)
"An ecological balance
that must exist between humans and the environment in order to ensure
the healthy condition of man."
According to the sentence
that is a combination (synthesis of Azrul Anwar, Slamet Riyadi, WHO and
Sumengen)
"The efforts of
protection, management, and environmental modifications that are
directed towards someone ecological balance of human welfare is
increasing."
4. The scope of
environmental health
According to the WHO
there are 17 scope of environmental health:
1) Water Supply

nature and movement of
people.
17) the necessary
precautions to ensure the environment.

7. Environmental Health
Problems in Indonesia
1. Clean Water
Clean water is the water
that is used for everyday purposes that qualify the quality of health
and can be taken when it is cooked. Drinking water is water
that meets quality requirements of health and can be drunk immediately.
Conditions Water Quality
are as follows:
a. Physical Conditions: Not
odorless, tasteless, and colorless
b. Chemical Terms: Levels of
Iron: The maximum allowable 0.3 mg / l, hardness (max 500 mg / l)
c. Terms Microbiological:
Coliform fecal / total coliform (max 0 per 100 ml of water)
2. Disposal of manure /
feces
Better methods of excreta
disposal is to a latrine with the following requirements:
a. Surface soil
contamination should not happen
b. Should not be
contamination in groundwater that may enter springs or wells
c. It should not be
contaminated surface water
d. Feces should not be
covered by flies and other animals
e. It should not be
happening handling of fresh excreta, or, if it is really necessary, it
should
restricted to a minimum.
f. Latrines should babas of
odors or unsightly conditions.
g. Methods of manufacture
and operation should be simple and inexpensive.
3. Health Settlement
In general it can be said
a healthy home if it meets the following criteria:
a. Meet the physiological
needs, such as: lighting, penghawaan and sufficient space, avoid
disturbing noise.
b. Meet the psychological
needs, namely: privacy sufficient, healthy communication between family
members and residents
c. Meet the requirements of
disease prevention antarpenghuni house with water supply, management of
excreta and household waste, free of disease vectors and rodents,
residential density is not excessive, enough morning sun, sheltered from
the contamination of food and beverages, as well as adequate lighting
and penghawaan.
d. Meet the requirements of
both the prevention of accidents arising from circumstances outside and
inside the house include the demarcation line requirement, which is not
easy construction collapsed, non-flammable, and does not tend to make
the occupants fell slipping.
4. Garbage disposal
Waste management
techniques must consider faktor-faktor/unsur:
a. Onset of trash. Factors that influence
the production of waste is the number of inhabitants and kepadatanya,
level of activity, patterns of life / tk socio-economic, geographical
location, climate, season, and technological progress.
b. Storage bins.
c. Collection, treatment and
recovery.
d. Transport
e. Disposal
By knowing the elements
of waste management, we can determine the relationship and urgency of
each element so that we can solve these problems efficiently.
5. Insect and Pest Animals
Insects as a reservoir
(habitat and suvival) germs which was later named as a vector for
example: rat fleas for plague / pestilence, Mosquito Anopheles sp for
Malaria, Mosquito Aedes sp for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), Mosquito
Culex sp for Elephant Foot Disease / Filariasis. Reduction / prevention of
disease among the design house / food management with rat proff
(meetings rat), mosquito nets dipped with pesticides to prevent mosquito
bites of Anopheles sp, Movement 3 M (drain bury and close) a reservoir
of water to prevent dengue fever , The use of gauze on the
vent in the home or with pesticides to prevent diseases elephantiasis
and sanitation efforts.
Nuisance animals can
transmit diseases such as infectious canine rabies / rabies. Cockroaches and flies can
be an intermediate transfer germs to the food so give rise to diarrhea.
Mice can cause the
release of leptospirosis from urine that had been infected with the
bacteria that cause.
6. Food and Drink
Target higene sanitary
food and drink are restaurants, restaurants, catering services and
street food (prepared by craftsmen in the sale of food or served as food
and ready to eat for sale to the public in addition to those presented
catering services, restaurant / restaurants and hotels) .
Sanitary hygiene
requirements of food and drinks where food management include:
a. Location and construction
requirements;
b. Terms of sanitation
facilities;
c. Terms kitchen, dining
room and pantry;
d. Requirements of food and
processed food;
e. Requirements of food
processing;
f. Storage requirements of
food and processed food;
g. Terms equipment used.
7. Environmental Pollution
Environmental pollution
such as water pollution, soil pollution, air pollution. Air pollution can be
further divided into indoor air pollution and outdoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution is a
problem of housing / residential and public buildings, buses, trains,
etc.. This problem is more
likely to be a real health problem, since humans tend to be indoors
rather than in the streets. Allegedly caused by
burning firewood, household fuels is one of the risk factors for
respiratory tract infections among children under five. On the issue of out door
air pollution or pollution outdoors, a variety of data analysis shows
that there is an increasing trend. Several studies suggest a
difference in the risks of contamination in some high-risk groups than
rural citizens. Large relative risk was
12.5 times greater. This situation, the type
of contaminants that accumulated, it will get worse in the future. Burning forests to make
farmland or timber is apparently just a serious impact, such as acute
respiratory infections, eye irritation, disruption of flight schedules,
disruption of forest ecology.
8. Environmental causes of
health problems in Indonesia
1. Accretion and population
density.
2. Socio-cultural diversity
and customs of the majority of the population.
3. Inadequate implementation
of management functions.
9. Relationships and the
influence of environmental conditions on public health in urban and
residential
Examples of relationships
and the influence of environmental conditions on public health in urban
and residential areas including the following:
1. Urbanization urban
congestion >>> >>> >>> limited land area of
slum / shanty poor environmental health sanitation >>>
2. Activities in town
(industrialization) >>> generate >>> effluent
discharged without treatment (to the river) >>> river used for
bathing, washing, toilet >>> infectious diseases.
3. Activities in the city
(transport traffic) >>> exhaust emissions (smoke) >>>
pollute the city's air conditioning is not feasible >>>
>>> inhaled respiratory disease.
