Occupational Safety And Health Risk Analysis Using the Hiradc Method: HEPA Filter Integrity Test Case Study

Abstract

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) fosters a safe, comfortable work environment and maintains company productivity. Despite OSH implementation, the potential for accidents due to worker activities remains, specifically at PT. X, the HEPA Filter Integrity Test activity, presents a possibility of work accidents. This article aims to address the implementation of an OSH program within the context of this activity. The study utilized the HIRADC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Determining Control) method. This involved identifying problems, assessing risks, and determining appropriate risk controls related to the HEPA Filter Integrity Test activities in the production and Air Handling Unit (AHU) areas. Research findings from the two activity areas indicate varying risk levels. The process of moving integrity activities in the production area and opening the access door of the HEPA Filter in the AHU area was identified as having the least possible risk. Conversely, the scanning process of the HEPA Filter in the production area was found to pose the greatest risk. Regularly implementing the HIRADC method enables companies to enhance OSH, reduce injury incidents, and cultivate a safer working environment for all employees.
