THE EFFECT OF HEAT PRESSURE ON NUTRITIONAL NEEDS OF WORKERS
Background: Heat pressure is a combination of air temperature, humidity, velocity of air
movement, and radiation heat which is matched with heat production by the body of a worker
at a workplace. Uncomfortable weather, not in accordance with the specified conditions can
reduce work capacity resulting in decreased work efficiency and productivity. Objective: To
analyze the heat stress on work nutrition needed by workers
Method: The method used is cross sectional. The technique used in sampling is using
purposive sampling which uses the longest criteria in the extruder room. Results:
respondents experienced symptoms of dehydration with marked dizziness when working,
excessive sweating, and feeling tired quickly because ISBB in the extruder room exceeds the
NAB, which reached 32.28 0C which according to the NAB Minister of Manpower and
Transmigration for the working climate for moderate types of work with working hours 25-
50% is only 30,0 0C. Workers are advised to consume drinking water that contains
electrolytes or food that contains electrolytes to prevent dehydration that can cause
workplace accidents.
Conclusion: There was an increase in ISBB in the extruder room and workers experienced
symptoms of dehydration
