The study titled " Assessment of Hazard Problems in Workplace Related to Emergency Response Plan for employees in Primary Health Care centers at Babylon City." explores the significance of workplace safety through the implementation of occupational safety policies and regular inspections. The primary research question addresses whether the emergency response plan (ERP) in these healthcare centers is genuinely effective or merely a formality, highlighting that employees lack sufficient information about the ERP. The study aims to evaluate workplace risk problems, including fire alarm systems, emergency exits, regular employee check-ups, and medical waste disposal. Conducted between January 2 and March 30, 2018, in Babylon's primary healthcare centers, this descriptive quantitative study utilized a specially developed assessment tool and data collection through a quarterly supervisory form. Key findings indicate that 85% of the surrounding environment is suitable, 46% of sanitation systems are adequate, 96% of fire extinguishers are available, and 52% of emergency exits are accessible. Recommendations emphasize enhancing employee training on the ERP, conducting regular safety system inspections, and raising awareness of occupational safety's importance among staff.

The importance of K3 aspects in docking activities not only includes individual safety, but also has a direct impact on productivity and operational continuity. Accidents or incidents that occur during the docking process can not only threaten the lives and health of workers, but can also cause detrimental environmental impacts and hinder the smooth running of the supply chain. The HIRARC method allows identifying various potential hazards that may be associated with an activity or work environment. This approach involves data collection, situational analysis, and determining appropriate mitigation measures. From the results of the identification carried out during ship docking activities at PT. Pelindo Marine Service has 14 activities that have potential danger. With 4 activities that have very low risk, namely maintenance and repair activities in the engine room, ship maintenance in closed rooms, maintenance and repairs in the electrical room, and manual lifting of heavy materials. Then there are 5 activities with low risk, including welding process activities in open spaces, carrying out repair work at height, operating cranes, cleaning ship rooms, and plate cutting (LPG gas cutting) and material grinding processes. 3 activities with medium/medium risk, namely working around waters, working/standing around ships, and stuffing/stripping activities. And there is 1 activity with high risk, namely the ship maintenance process using the welding process in a closed space and 1 activity with very high risk, namely the activity of filling gas cylinders (for cutting and welding equipment). The risks faced include slipping, falling, scratches, shortness of breath, weakness, eye irritation, injuries, minor injuries, serious injuries, sprains, burns, fractures, electrocution and others. And the efforts made to control the risks above include using Personal Protective Equipment with discipline, working according to SOPs, installing K3 signs, providing fire extinguishers, regular inspections and implementing a good ventilation system. Based on the results of risk identification in ship docking activities at PT. Pelindo Marine Services. The importance of effective and continuous implementation of K3 in ship docking activities, in order to maintain the safety, health and welfare of workers and minimize negative impacts on company operations

HIRARC is a document that contains hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control in order to reduce the occurrence of occupational safety and health disturbances. The type of research used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. The research aims to explain the value of the risks contained in each work area by describing the work safety analysis process by determining the level of likelihood and severity of each risk. Based on interviews and observations conducted by researchers in the Boiler section of PLTU Nii Tanasa Kendari, there are several potential dangers ranging from physical, mechanical, chemical, electrical, to ergonomic dangers. The results of the analysis of potential hazards show a low risk of 9 types of danger, a moderate risk of 7 types of danger, a high risk of 8 types of danger.The controls used are technical engineering such as providing fire extinguishers and first aid kits, installing handrails and guardrails to anticipate falls from heights, and providing insulation and dampening for equipment that is at high risk of causing work accidents. Administrative controls such as providing work instructions and SOPs, cleaning work environment areas and using PPE.
