occurrence as well as the occupational health and safety of piggyback lawn mower
operators in PT. Dinar Mutiara Sakti.
In investigating the issue, this research uses descriptive qualitative approach.
It collects its research data through interviews, observations and FGD from 15
respondents.
The research findings show thatrespondents within an age range of 20-30
years old feel the highest intensity of vibration. All respondents claim to feel the
vibration, especially those who have worked as operators for less than 5 years.
respondents within an age range of 20-30 years old feel the highest intensity of
vibration. However, operators with more than 5-year working experience have been
accustomed to the vibration and ten to ignore it. the piggyback lawn mower operators
work for a duration of 8 hours daily with 10-30-minute breaks. The protective gears
provided by the company are only work shoes due to cost-related excuses. The results
of vibration analysis measured by using svantek human vibration meter suggest that
the intensity of vibration is below threshold.
Ultimately, this research concludes that age, the length of employment and
protective gears contribute to the risk factors for the operators of piggyback lawn
mower while work duration does not contribute to the risk factors for the operators of
piggyback lawn mower in PT. Dinar Mutiara Sakti Makassar.
