| dc.description.abstract | One of the hazards in the workplace that can cause occupational
diseases is chemicals such as organic solvents. Organic solvents consist of
various types of organic substances which are all toxic. Considering this,
there is a need for intervention activities for the industrial world, especially
the informal sector. This intervention is manifested in a community service
program at the Putra Jaya Las Bengkel in Jember Regency. The purpose of
this activity is to administratively control the dangers of organic solvents.
The method used is counseling and direct practice with the media of pocket
books, posters, chemical labels and material safety data sheets (MSDS). The
results of the pretest and post-test evaluations showed an increase in
knowledge about the dangers and control of organic solvents among
workers by 12.5% from an average of 80 to 90. In addition, administrative
practices for controlling organic solvents have been carried out in the form
of posters, label repairs on organic solvent containers, and provision of
MSDS. Overall, it is concluded that this community service activity has
effectively increased workers' knowledge about the dangers and control of
organic solvents, and has succeeded in increasing the safety of using
organic solvents in the workplace. It is recommended that further activities
be carried out to maintain the commitment and consistency of the target
audience in implementing organic solvent hazard control. | en_US |
