Students from the Logistics Management and Administration program are currently undergoing the Community Service Program (KKN) in a village renowned for its wooden furniture craft production. This KKN initiative not only serves as a platform for students to apply their learned knowledge but also as an opportunity to raise awareness about the crucial importance of workplace safety in the production environment.
When discussing the wooden furniture craft industry, the aspect of occupational safety becomes pivotal. Students from the Logistics Management and Administration program participating in KKN recognize that workplace safety significantly influences efficiency, productivity, and the well-being of workers.
One concrete step taken by KKN students is to conduct a risk assessment in the production facility. They meticulously analyze each production stage, from raw material selection, processing, to the final product packaging. Identifying risks and potential hazards forms the basis for designing preventive measures to reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries in the workplace.
The implementation of occupational safety standards is also a primary focus for students in Logistics Management and Administration. They organize regular training sessions for workers in the production facility to ensure a clear understanding of the safety principles that must be followed. From the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to proper handling of chemicals, all safety aspects are taken seriously.
Furthermore, students pay special attention to the ergonomics of the workplace. Proper workspace arrangement, the use of suitable equipment, and the provision of sufficient rest are concrete steps taken to ensure the physical and mental well-being of workers.
In the context of logistics management, KKN students also seek solutions to enhance the efficiency of raw material management and product distribution. They design a more effective logistics system, minimizing waiting times, and reducing potential risks in the supply chain.
Through this KKN initiative, students from the Logistics Management and Administration program are not only agents of change at the local level but also make a tangible contribution to improving the quality and safety of work in the wooden furniture craft industry. With a holistic approach that combines safety aspects, logistics management, and production efficiency, they bring positive impacts to workers, the village community, and the industry as a whole.
