Abstract

This study discusses the application of Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and control (HIRAC) at the wood processing industry which processes raw materials in the form of logs into various sizes of wood. This research was conducted due to the lack of awareness of the management concerning the occupational health and safety of its employees. It can be seen from the high number of accidents, where during 2016�2019 there were 16 cases. The results of the risk assessment using HIRAC showed 6% potential hazard with a low risk level, 29% with a moderate risk level, and 65% with a very high-risk level. Hazard control is focused on potential hazards with a very high-risk level. Hazard control consist of seven type of administrative controls, one type of elimination control, four types of engineering controls, and one type of personal protective equipment control.
