Identifikasi bahaya dan metode identifikasi bahaya pada proses industri dan manajemen risiko
Get PDFIntroduction: Risk identification is a crucial and fundamental element in industrial risk management, aimed at preventing and controlling work-related incidents and diseases. Its primary objective is to recognize various potential hazards in the workplace, both routine and non-routine, which can lead to serious injuries, financial losses, or environmental damage. Results: Potential hazards can stem from physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychological factors. The methods of hazard identification are increasingly advanced and proactive in detecting risks that may have been previously overlooked. Hazard identification techniques include field observations, analysis of previous accident data, review of work safety documentation, and in-depth interviews with workers and supervisors. Two main methods, namely Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP), greatly assist in systematically breaking down each work step and production process flow and identifying potential deviations that may occur. Conclusion: JSA focuses on identifying specific hazards at each work step, while HAZOP uses guide words and risk analysis at each process node. The application of appropriate hazard identification methods is essential to minimize the risk of work accidents and work-related diseases, as well as to optimize the productivity and operational efficiency of the company
Analysis of managers' and local communities' perceptions in implementing ecotourism principles at Wana Wisata Ranca Upas
Get PDFBackground: Ecotourism that involves local communities promotes active participation, recognizing their indigenous knowledge of nature and cultural heritage as a potential tourism attraction. Community engagement is thus a crucial aspect of ecotourism development. However, differences in perception between stakeholders can influence the effectiveness of its implementation. Methods: This study employs a qualitative paradigm with a post-positivist philosophy to analyze the phenomenon in a natural setting. The research relies on qualitative strategies, where the researcher acts as the main instrument. Data collection was conducted using triangulation, and the analysis follows an inductive approach, emphasizing depth of understanding over generalization. Findings: The findings indicate that Wana Wisata Ranca Upas’ management does not solely focus on commercial aspects but also prioritizes environmental sustainability, community education, and socio-economic benefits for the local population. Community motivation to participate in ecotourism varies, with some seeing it as a significant source of income. Management’s perception aligns with Perhutani’s vision and mission, ensuring that ecotourism principles are upheld alongside economic sustainability. However, local communities have limited understanding of ecotourism concepts, leading to disparities in knowledge between managers and residents. Factors influencing these differing perceptions include access to information, background, interests, decision-making processes, and trust. Conclusion: The study highlights the need for improved community awareness and education regarding ecotourism principles to bridge the knowledge gap between managers and local residents. Novelty/Originality: This research provides insights into the perception gap between stakeholders in ecotourism implementation and identifies key factors influencing these differences, contributing to better community-based ecotourism management strategies
