Abstract

This study aimed to determine the risk characteristics of workers exposed to benzene and their insurance as an effort to control the risk of occupational diseases in the shoe home industry in Surabaya. The research method was a descriptive study by describing the risk control with insurance based on the characteristics of the exposure to benzene. The sample size was 20 shoe home industry workers. The data analysis used was descriptive. The results showed that the highest benzene concentration was 7.44 mg/m3, the average intake of benzene was 0.00363 mg/kg/day, and that the Excess Cancer Risk of the 20 respondents >10-5 means that the exposure to benzene was not safe for their health. The safe duration for the workers between 0,03 - 3.53 years means that the workers have a high risk of suffering from leukemia due to their exposure to benzene. Because it is high risk, the workers must be insured. However, based on the research results, 100% of the workers had no insurance (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan); the home industry had no Pos Upaya Kesehatan Kerja. From the results of the study, it has been concluded that the workers have a high risk of exposure to benzene. The workers had no insurance (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) and no Pos Upaya Kesehatan Kerja so there was no protection for the workers.
