Introduction

Peran dinas kesehatan provinsi riau dalam manajemen risiko k3 saat penanggulangan kejadian luar biasa (klb) di provinsi riau. Pelajari peran Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi Riau dalam manajemen risiko K3 saat penanggulangan KLB seperti DBD dan leptospirosis. Fokus pada distribusi APD dan kepatuhan petugas kesehatan.

Abstract

The year 2022 was a critical period for Riau Province in managing public health emergencies. According to data from the Riau Provincial Health Office (2022), several outbreaks occurred during this period, including an increase in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) cases in eight districts/cities, a surge in leptospirosis cases in flood-prone areas, and zoonotic rabies incidents in border regions. This study aims to analyze the role of the Riau Provincial Health Office in occupational health and safety (OHS) risk management during outbreak response. Data analysis was conducted using the Fishbone method to identify root causes and the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) method to determine problem priorities. Based on the USG assessment, the main priority issue requiring immediate intervention was the unequal availability and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers across affected areas. Interventions for outbreak management in Riau Province in 2022 focused on five components—man, method, money, material, and machine—which were developed based on field analysis. Several factors influencing the implementation of OHS in outbreak management include the availability of PPE, compliance of health workers in using PPE, the implementation of OHS training, and the effectiveness of supervision in applying outbreak response standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Review

This manuscript addresses a highly pertinent and critical issue concerning occupational health and safety (OHS) risk management within the context of public health emergencies, specifically outbreaks, in Riau Province. The chosen period of 2022, marked by multiple significant disease outbreaks including Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, leptospirosis, and rabies, provides a compelling and timely backdrop for analyzing the role of the Riau Provincial Health Office. The study's aim to analyze the Health Office's role in OHS risk management during these emergency responses is directly relevant to strengthening public health preparedness and worker safety, particularly for frontline healthcare professionals. The methodology described in the abstract demonstrates a structured approach to problem identification and prioritization. The application of the Fishbone method to uncover root causes and the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) method to prioritize issues are robust analytical tools appropriate for complex public health challenges. A key strength highlighted is the precise identification of unequal availability and distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as the main priority issue, indicating a practical and actionable finding. Furthermore, the framework of analyzing interventions through the "five components" (man, method, money, material, machine) offers a comprehensive and widely recognized model for operational assessment, suggesting a thorough examination of influencing factors such as PPE compliance, training, and supervision effectiveness. While the abstract provides a strong overview, the full manuscript would benefit from a more detailed exposition of the specific interventions implemented for each of the "five components" and a clearer articulation of their observed impact or effectiveness on OHS outcomes. Elaboration on the *how* of the Fishbone and USG application, including specific data inputs and stakeholder involvement, would further enhance the methodological rigor and transparency. Ultimately, this study holds significant practical implications, offering valuable insights for health offices in other regions facing similar public health emergencies, and contributing to the development of more resilient OHS frameworks for frontline healthcare workers.
