provide a safe, healthy, and pollution-free work environment in order to
decrease or eliminate work accidents and occupational diseases, which can

from tasks such as selection, freight, and storage. This is a qualitative sort of
research that uses the process of in-depth understanding of a topic by
looking at it for generalization research (Drs. Sumanto, M.A., 1995). B3
medical waste management officers at regional hospitals face a high level of
workplace safety and health risks, according to the researcher. The risk
assessment is made up of the following items based on the results of the
hazard identification: selection of hospital medical waste with the greatest
risk of being exposed to sharp items, with a value/score of (16) indicating a
high risk Muscle and bone injuries are the highest risk in hospital medical
waste freight, with a score of (12) with High Risk, and bad smell is the
highest risk in unwell medical waste storage, with a score of (15) with High
Risk. Risk Analysis: Selection of Hospital Medical Waste from each wasteproducing
room
(Exposed
to
sharp
items)
and
Hazardous
Waste
Storage
are

two

risk statements and the statement with the highest cause in Risk
Analysis (Respiratory Disorders). Evaluation of the effect of the Highest
Opportunity Risk (Likelihood) x Impact (Consequence) on waste storage
(bad smell) and hospital medical waste selection from each waste
generating room (Exposed to Sharp Objects). Suggestions for research;
adequately supervise so that things don't happen that could be really
hazardous (very high). Hospitals can issue a warning or sanctions to officers
who manage solid medical waste improperly.
