Apa itu Industrial Hygiene ?

Industrial Hygiene adalah ilmu tentang antisipasi, mengenal, mengevaluasi serta mengontrol kondisi lingkungan kerja yang dapat mempengaruhi tenaga kerja [menyebabkan sakit, gangguan kesehatan atau ketidaknyamanan pada pekerja]

Yang dapat dilakukan oleh seorang Industrial Hygienist adalah menerapkan ilmu Medical Scientist, Detective, dan Engineer. Pengetahuan yang luas mengenai ilmu kesehatan sangat membantu seorang Industrial Hygienist dalam memandang permasalahan di tempat kerja.

Seorang Industrial hygienist adalah detektif, sebab kita diharuskan mengetahui informasi lebih mengenai bahaya-bahaya di dalam tempat kerja. Monitor lingkungan kerja dan menganalisa metodenya yang nanti digunakan untuk menganalisa dampaknya terhadap pekerja yang terpajan.

Analisa bahaya di tempat kerja merupakan tahap pertama terpenting dari seorang Industrial Hygienist untuk mengetahui potensi bahaya di tempat kerja terhadap pekerja. Pengenalan lapangan kerja yang merupakan daerah tanggung jawab Kita harus dikontrol setiap waktu, sehingga perubahan-perubahan yang terjadi di area kerja dapat termonitor setiap saat.
Dalam memonitor lingkungan kerja, selain lingkungan fisik, perlu juga dilakukan monitoring terhadap para pekerja dengan melakukan interview untuk menanyakan apakah ada isu-isu kesehatan yang terjadi di areanya. Sebelumnya kita harus memberikan informasi kedatangan Kita kepada Foreman atau Supervisor yang berwenang di area tersebut. Sehingga apabila ditemukan hal-hal yang substandard bisa dilakukan klarifikasinya kepada mereka. Ini dilakukan agar tidak terjadi kesalahan informasi antara kondisi lapangan dengan keterangan dari mereka.

Selama proses menganalisa seorang Industrial Hygienist melakukan:

1. Mengidentifikasi bahaya-bahaya yang mungkin dapat terjadi, permasalahan-permasalahan kerja serta resikonya. Menganalisa kondisi-kondisi yang dapat diukur untuk mencari permasalan yang timbul.

2. Mengembangkan strategi sampling dan menggunakan peralatan-peralatan sampling yang dimiliki untuk mengukur seberapa besar sumber bahaya di tempat kerja.

3. Melakukan pengamatan terhadap bagaimana dampak sumber-sumber bahaya kimia dan fisika dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan pekerja dengan melakukan pengukuran.

4. Membandingkan hasil sampling dengan standart atau petunjuk yang relevan untuk menentukkan apakah pengontrolan khusus diperlukan.

Pengontrolan di Tempat Kerja yang dapat dilakukan:

1. Engineering kontrol.

· Menghilangkan semua bahaya-bahaya yang ditimbulkan.

· Mengurangi sumber bahaya dengan mengganti dengan bahan yang kurang berbahaya.

· Work proses ditempatkan terpisah.

· Menempatan ventilasi local/umum.

2. Administrasi kontrol.

· Pengaturan schedule kerja atau meminimalkan kontak pekerja dengan sumber bahaya.

3. Praktek kerja.

· Mengikuti prosedur yang sesuai untuk meminimalisasi pemaparan ketika pengoperasian.

· Inspeksi secara reguler dan perawatan peralatan.

4. APD.

· Ini merupakan langkah terakhir dari hirarki pengendalian.

CobaltNiche - Melbourne Tram

Melbourne is famous for trams so it was with some pride and delight that I saw for the first time yesterday the new Melbourne Tram designed by industrial design consultants CobaltNiche. The project began several years ago and I have posted previously about this iconic project. The E-Class trams are not yet taking passengers as they complete out-of-service testing but it is great to see them out and about.

The tram appeared on the extension of Exhibition Street and then travelled down Flinders Street passed Fed Sq and Finders Street Station. An iconic Melbourne location for a new Melbourne Icon.

E-Class trams will not only be the biggest that Melbourne has ever seen, they will also be the safest and most accessible with a range of innovative features including:

air-conditioning specifically designed for Melbourne's weather
dedicated wheelchair spaces with accessible intercom and next stop request button
external cameras to monitor passenger boarding and record motor vehicles illegally passing stationary trams
improved ride comfort and reduced noise with rotating bogies to handle tight turns
improved safety features to absorb impact in event of a collision
improved security via CCTV and emergency intercoms at each doorway
increased grab rails and stop request buttons in ergonomically selected locations
slip-resistant floors
state-of-the-art audio and visual announcements including next stop, destination, direction and connectivity.

Adam Cornish - Alessi Trinity Bowl

Kjell Grant was very excited late in 2010 to show me the Trinity bowl by designer Adam Cornish. Kjell's office was next to mine and we met by the printer and as always he was excited about the new work from Melbourne's young design talent. Adam had exhibited with Melbourne Movement in Milan previously and would take the new product to Salone Satellite 2011 in Milan. 

Last year at this time Melbourne Movement proudly exhibited the Trinty bowl at Grand Designs Live in Melbourne.

It was great yesterday to get Kjell and Adam together to celebrate the recent launch of the Trinity bowl as an Alessi product in the Fall/Winter catalogue. Adam is very proud of the production product and reports are that so are customers worldwide.
