Abstract

Job safety analysis (JSA) is an attempt to identify potential hazards in the industrial stages of labor to prevent the risk of work accidents. This research aims to analyze the potential of physical, chemical, and mechanical hazards in the production labor of the cotton and gauze industries by 2022. This research employs a descriptive-qualitative approach and focuses on the production supervisors, production management officers, and production workers in the cotton and gauze industry. The data collection was conducted by applying interviews, observation, and documentation by examining hazard risk and risk control variables. The data obtained were analyzed using the AS/NZS 4360 matrix, and the results will be in the form of diagrams, tables, etc. According to the results of the identification of potential hazards in the production area of the cotton and gauge industry, 104 physical hazards, 24 chemical hazards, and 3 mechanical hazards were found. From these potential hazards, a risk assessment was carried out, and the results obtained were very low risk, as many as 7 (13%) risks, low risk, as many as 23%, moderate risk, as many as 30%, high risk, as many as 9%, and very high risk, as many as 25%. To prevent these potential hazards from endangering workers, control efforts are carried out using the risk control hierarchy method, which includes the use of PPE, administrative, and technological engineering efforts.
