Work fatigue is one of the occupational health problems that may affect productivity, concentration, and increase the risk of workplace accidents. Security officers at Ferry Mulia Raja Napitupulu Port, Balige, are at high risk of experiencing fatigue due to shift work systems, physical and mental workload, and poor sleep quality. This study aims to identify factors associated with work fatigue among security officers. A quantitative method with a cross-sectional design was applied. The sample consisted of 45 security officers selected using total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires on individual characteristics, nutritional status, sleep quality, workload, and environmental temperature, and analyzed using bivariate tests. The results revealed significant relationships between age, nutritional status, sleep quality, workload, and temperature with work fatigue levels (p<0.05). It can be concluded that both individual and work environment factors contribute to fatigue among security officers. The study recommends that port management pay more attention to shift arrangements, rest patterns, and occupational health interventions to reduce fatigue risk and enhance officers’ productivity.

This community service activity was conducted by lecturers from STIM Sukma in October 2025 at Medan Tembung District. The aim was to enhance the awareness and understanding of construction workers regarding the importance of using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as a preventive measure against occupational accidents. Ten construction workers participated in the socialization activity, which included interactive lectures, group discussions, and simple demonstrations on the proper use of PPE. The results indicated a positive improvement in workers’ knowledge and awareness toward PPE use, although some limitations were observed regarding tool availability and habitual work behaviors. This activity highlights the significance of an educational and humanistic approach in cultivating a culture of safety within the informal construction sector. Through follow-up programs and regular mentoring, it is hoped that changes in worker behavior will develop more consistently. Furthermore, collaboration with local stakeholders is crucial to ensure the availability of PPE and the desire for a culture of workplace safety within the community.

A safe and healthy environment is crucial to minimizing accidents and occupational diseases, and this is where Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) comes in. Workers in the informal sector, such as online drivers, are more likely to experience musculoskeletal problems, especially low back pain (LBP), because they frequently lack proper occupational protection and health services. LBP is a complaint of lower back pain that can be brought on by extended periods of static sitting, bad posture, and personal characteristics like body mass index, smoking, and length of service. The purpose of this program is to educate online drivers in Malang City, East Java, and help them avoid LBP. The risk of LBP can be decreased in part by promoting physical activity and education. One recommended intervention is the William Flexion Exercise (WFE), an exercise aimed at improving posture, increasing muscle strength and flexibility, and reducing lower back pain. Implementing WFE education and training for online car drivers is anticipated to strengthen OHS awareness and reduce the incidence of LBP among informal sector workers.

Every citizen has the right to get a job. Meanwhile, the work that is necessary for people to live a decent life for humanity is a job that pays enough and does not cause accidents or diseases. Law on Health No. 17 of 2023 Law No. 1 of 1970 on Occupational Safety: This law is the legal basis for the implementation of K3LH in Indonesia. Law No. 13 of 2003: Article 88 paragraph (1) of this Law states that every worker has the right to protection for occupational safety and health.  Permenaker No. 5 of 1996: This regulation regulates the K3 Management System. Meanwhile, getting enough wages in jobs in our country is very difficult and the weak protection of workers, especially regarding freelance daily workers, has not received much attention in the government's observation. Legal protection plays a crucial role in ensuring that K3 coaching runs effectively and sustainably. This includes regulations that require K3 training, the appointment of competent K3 officers, and incident reporting. The main challenges include ineffective supervision and low legal awareness. A robust legal framework, including K3 training, certification, and auditing standards, is essential to encourage investment in quality coaching. Strict law enforcement against K3 violations is also vital to minimize accidents and occupational diseases.

Occupational Health and Safety (K3) is an effort to provide safety guarantees and improve the health status of workers/laborers by preventing work-related accidents and diseases, controlling  workplace hazards,  health  promotion, treatment and  rehabilitation. Occupational Health and Safety efforts include workforce, work methods/methods, work tools, work processes and work environment. In the PTM room at the West Baktiya Health Center, the space is quite narrow due to the large number of patients visiting, so there is untidiness in the room even though the AC and windows are used. However, having 2 tables in the room makes the room increasingly narrow and difficult to work comfortably. This research aims to find out an overview of the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health in the PTM room. This research is a qualitative descriptive research with a case study design. The subjects of this research were 3 officers in the PTM room. The object of this research is the implementation of K3 and PTM rooms at the West Baktiya Community Health Center. Data was collected by participant observation and semi-structured interviews with informants. The risk factors for the PTM room at the West Baktiya Health Center, seen from occupational safety and health factors, are that it is quite clean, no animals were found that cause disease transmission such as cockroaches, rats and others. There are no occupational safety and health signs and standard operational procedures related to occupational safety and health, while fire prevention in the PTM room at the West Baktiya Public Health Center and the West Baktiya Community Health Center itself is quite good with APAR. There needs to be signs regarding occupational safety and health and SOPs regarding occupational safety and health, especially in the PTM room.

Patient safety is an important aspect of care standards that must be considered by all healthcare providers. Risk assessment, identification and management of hazards, documentation, analysis, and follow-up of accidents, and recovery provisions to reduce risks and prevent injuries are part of patient safety. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between nurse workload and the implementation of patient safety in the Emergency Department (IGD) of Maria Walanda Maramis Regional General Hospital. The research uses a cross-sectional design. The sample in this study consisted of 22 respondents using the purposive sampling technique. Data collection on workload and the implementation of patient safety was conducted using a questionnaire, and analyzed using the Spearman rho statistical test.

The application of patient safety in the least category was poor, with 6 respondents (27.3%), while the most was in the good category, with 16 respondents (72.7%). The results of the Spearman rho test obtained a p-value of 0.032 where < α 0.05. Conclusion: There is a relationship between the nurses' workload and the implementation of patient safety in the Emergency Room (IGD) of Maria Walanda Maramis Regional General Hospital. It is recommended that nurses become more aware of the importance of fatigue management and effective coping strategies to maintain the quality of patient care.

The construction industry is one of the fields where the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) is still not optimal, as evidenced by the still high number of work accidents. Efforts to increase this awareness can be done early on through education and training, one of which is through Vocational High Schools (SMK). In general, students are still not aware of the possibility of work accidents. Providing K3 training from an early age can help students develop the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that will be needed in the workplace later. The purpose of this program is to provide knowledge and skills to students of SMKN 1 Kemlagi, Mojokerto Regency regarding the basics of construction K3. The methods used to educate students through K3 learning include lectures and socialization, as well as evaluation through pre- and post-tests. Overall, K3 education activities are able to improve the understanding of students in the Building Design Modeling and Information Department of all topics discussed, including risk control strategies, preventing and dealing with fires in the work area, recognizing personal protective equipment.

Occupational safety and health training explains that increased knowledge and awareness of workers about potential workplace hazards can motivate them to comply with safety standards, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). This research aims to analyze the effect of occupational safety and health training on the behavior of using PPE by workers in the construction industry. This research is driven by the high number of work accidents that happen in the construction industry sector in Indonesia, where many workers are still reluctant to use PPE. The method used is a comprehensive literature review, with analysis of various relevant sources including academic journals and research reports as well as 3 electronic databases, namely Google Scholar, PubMed, and GARUDA. The findings of the study showed that workers who participated in occupational safety and health training showed increased knowledge and awareness of potential hazards in the workplace. Despite this, compliance rates are still low, especially among younger and less experienced workers. There is still no clear research data on reducing the accident rate in workers after this occupational safety and health training. This research confirms the need for strict supervision in the field to create a safer and healthier work environment. 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an important aspect for workers in various fields, and it is the responbility of companies to ensure safety in the workplace. This research uses the systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by first selecting journals or studies, then obtaining results in the form of references from ideas or models that will be developed in the future. The research is conducted from January to April 2025. Through this method, an assessment of the impact of PPE usage on the rate of work accidents, which remains relatively high in various aspects, can be carried out. The results of the data analysis showed a significant positive influence of safety culture on compliance in the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). However, it cannot be ignored that there are still many standard operating procedures (SOPs) that are not running well, so the risks for workers remain.

The high number of work accidents indicates that the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) is still not optimal, particularly in the construction industry. Vocational schools (SMK) can foster awareness from an early age through education and training. Students in general are not aware of the potential for workplace accidents yet. K3 education for students from an early age can help provide a beneficial understanding and foster attitudes and habits to apply K3 in their future work environments. The purpose of this program is to provide understanding and basic knowledge of construction K3 to students of SMKN 4 Gowa. The method used to educate students through this K3 learning is lectures and socialization, as well as evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. Overall, the results show that this K3 education activity helps students in the Building Modeling and Information Design program at SMKN 4 Gowa understand all the topics that were talked about. These include understanding K3 and the Zero Accident goal, the importance of construction K3, potential hazards in construction, methods of hazard identification and risk assessment, risk control, recognizing personal protective equipment, symbols and signs, and learning about work accidents that happen in Indonesia.

The occurrence of patient accidents is like an iceberg phenomenon. Medical errors remain a global issue in the healthcare sector. The culture of safety aims to create safer patient care, considering that Adverse Events can not only increase healthcare service costs but also bring hospitals into a blaming area. This study aims to describe the patient safety culture at Melati Perbaungan General Hospital. This descriptive study observes the implementation of patient safety culture in preventing adverse events in the inpatient department at Melati Perbaungan General Hospital using a total sampling technique with criteria including human resources in the inpatient department, such as executors, responsible persons, and department heads, totaling 65 people. The measurement of patient safety culture uses the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSPSC) questionnaire with 12 dimensions of patient safety culture. The results show that the majority of respondents' characteristics in terms of age and length of work greatly support the creation of a patient safety culture, as most staff are in their productive age (31-40 years) and have an optimal working period (1-5 years) in performing their duties. The implementation of the patient safety culture by staff at Melati Perbaungan General Hospital is in the Positive Response category at 77.9%. This indicates that the patient safety culture has been well implemented.

Mining is a crucial sector in the global economy, yet it faces high risks and serious potential hazards for workers. According to statistical data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the number of mining accidents in 2023 increased significantly compared to 2021 and previous years, totaling 217 incidents. Therefore, the effective implementation of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) is necessary to protect worker safety and health. The purpose of this writing is to review the implementation of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) in mining companies, covering policy establishment, K3 planning, K3 plan execution, K3 performance monitoring and evaluation, as well as review and enhancement of OHSMS performance. This review employs a Literature Study method, sourcing data and articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Based on the literature study, the analysis of Occupational Health and Safety Management System implementation reveals that, on average, mining companies have their own policies established. Regarding K3 planning, each company has its own K3 planning strategy. However, the execution of K3 plans shows varying levels of implementation across different companies. In terms of performance monitoring and evaluation, companies assess K3 performance using specific indicators and undertake necessary improvements. Finally, review and performance enhancement efforts are undertaken for continuous improvement.
