The brass craftsmen are exposed to the dangers of the working environment of work, and the hazard of occupational illness risks can also be experienced by workers. The purpose of this study is to analyze and map the hazards of work environment and risk of occupational diseases using Geographic Information System (GIS). This research is qualitative research. The sample was taken purposively by 10 brass craftsman in Juwana sub-district. Data on occupational illness risk complaints were taken using an in-depth interview questionnaire. Workplace hazard identification was analyzed using HTRA Form and hazardous workplace mapping using GIS software free (PC Arc 10.3). The research results showed that the hazard of working environment on brass craftsmen more is the physics hazard derived from the machine used. In addition, there is also a chemical hazard during the working process both steam and metal dust. The risk of occupational illness most of which the respondents complained of was shortness of breath and cough. In addition, arm pain and low back pain is also experienced by the workers. This research showed that the hazards of work environment on brass craftsmen include physical hazards, chemical hazards, ergonomic hazards and psychological hazards. While the complaints of occupational illness risk in the form of respiratory problems, arm pain, low back pain and skin irritation.

AbstractManual medicine is the medical discipline that deals with diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of reversible functional disturbances in the locomotor system and other related organ systems. The current article illustrates neuroanatomical and neurophysiological fundamentals of the mechanisms of manual diagnostics and treatment. Based on the recent literature and consideration of different scientifically based clinical guidelines, the evidence-based effectiveness of manual therapeutic procedures is presented. Acute and chronic low back pain, cervicogenic headache, neck and shoulder pain, radicular arm pain, dysfunctional thoracic pain syndromes, diseases of the rotator cuff, carpal tunnel syndrome, and plantar fasciitis are included. Clinical case studies illustrate the clinical procedures. The term, the origin, and the clinical presence of “osteopathy” are addressed in detail, and the national and international societies of manual medicine (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Manuelle Medizin [DGMM], European Scientific Society of Manual Medicine [ESSOMM], Fédération Internationale de Medicine Manuelle [FIMM]) are portrayed lexically. Finally, contraindications to manual intervention are presented and an outlook on the requirements and possibilities of scientific pain analysis is given in accordance with the preamble of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Orthopädie und Orthopädische Chirurgie (GSOOC) guidelines on specific low back pain.

Background Working in hospitals entails several risks to nurses. A better nursing workplace can help in improving physical activity and reducing adverse occupational health outcomes among nurses. Aim This study aimed to investigate the relationships of the nursing workplace with occupational health outcomes and physical activity. Methods A cross-sectional correlation study was conducted with 623 nurses. Data were collected through report self-administered questionnaires that included employment and occupational conditions, hospital workplace environment, and adverse occupational health outcomes as well as physical activity pattern. Results The current study showed that the nursing workplace environment and conditions had a negative effect on occupational health outcomes and physical activity among nurses in the study units. Nurses in this study reported a high prevalence of low back pain (82.7%), burnout (78.3%), and occupational injuries (70.5%). They also reported insufficient physical activities (90.6%). High prevalence of burnout and low back pain were associated with low levels of physical activities among nurses. Conclusion A fair working environment and conditions have been implicated as a causative factor of negative occupational health outcomes and limitations of physical activity among nurses. Adverse occupational health outcomes also affect the nurses engaging in physical activity.

Work Attitude

The work environment is closely related to the circumstances surrounding the activities of workers in doing their jobs. The office is a work environment where almost all the workers work mainly in a sitting position. Low back pain is one of the common occupational diseases of the workers. One of the risks of the increasing low back pain cases in workers is taking for granted the right work attitude, the location of the table and the size of the chair that is not ergonomic. RSIA Eria Bunda is one of the most visited RSIA by the public. The results of the initial observations at RSIA Eria Bunda found irregularities in work attitudes and the sitting positions of the employees and their work facilities were also not in accordance with the existing regulations. This is the reason the researcher conducted this research at RSIA Eria Bunda with the aim of knowing what factors can cause low back pain and what strategies can be used in handling complaints of low back pain in employees. The factors used in this study are individual and environmental factors and ergonomics. This research is conducted through quantitative approach with a survey method, cross-sectional data collection, low back pain questionnaire and RULA Worksheet to determine the employee's work attitude. Likewise, interviews and field observations are also conducted. Afterwards, determine the management strategy for complaints of low back pain with a SWOT Analysis. The results of the study are the following: First, there are complaints of low back pain in employees as 20 people (58,82%) and the most influencing factor is the work attitude (p = 0,022). Then, for the results of the RSIA SWOT Analysis, Eria Bunda is in a strong internal position and responds to existing opporto avoid threats. The strategy used by SO is to create a K3 evaluation team, improve the system and work environment and provide education about low back pain as a treatment strategy.

INTRODUCTION:WMSD's among marble factory workers are common.They are a major concern of workers, union, employers and government.Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are disorders of body structures such as tendons,joints,muscles,ligaments,bones,nerves or a local blood circulation system caused or aggravated primarily by the nature of performance of work. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of low back pain in marble factory of Aburoad,to know the relation between low back pain and physical activity. Most work related MSDs are resulting from repeated exposures to low - or high intensity workloads over a prolong period of time. This indicates a strong relationship between factors within the working environment and the development of MSDs,and that these conditions result in significant reduction in productivity OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to study and identify issues and problems of MSDs, specifically LBP.It was believed that results of this study would provide a base for planning interventional programs at work place and improving workers health. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A questionnaire was formulated with few variables which were specifically focused. A general set of subjective variables such as name, age, sex, occupation, hand dominance, hypertension, weight, BMI were included.Few specific variables were-Nature of job,experience in years,working hours & overtime,drug addiction (alcohol, tobacco intake),routine of work (sitting/standing/walking/bending/lifting heavy loads), rest time-up to 3 categories(30 minutes/45 minutes and above) MATERIALS: It included demographic identification form, modified oswestry disability index of LBP, NPRS scale, consent form,tapes,Mats etc. SETTING OF THE STUDY:Data were collected at 5 marble factories. PATIENTS:180 subjects with LBP were involved in the study after screening of approximately 328 workers. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE:Simple convenient sampling SAMPLE SIZE: Total 180 subjects of 5 factories with low back pain participated in study. SELECTION CRITERIA:The study populations were selected according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. RESULTS: There was a higher prevalence of LBP in factory workers doing more of bending and sitting activities when compared to the standing positions. Even we found that the workers lifting more of heavy weight more than 20 kg reported of having LBP,which is in concordance to the support etal's study that the workers who had to lift the object up to 25 kg or more.There were significantly associated with LBP. CONCLUSION: Work related musculoskeletal disorders in marble factory workers were common as a higher prevalence of LBP.This perception of intensified workloads,repetitive and monotonous work with limited job control and clarity might be one of the factors associated with MSDs. Further research is needed to investigate the effect of risk factors as general health status on prevalence musculoskeletal disorders
