Summary
This study addresses the occupational safety and health risks faced by traders and visitors in traditional Indonesian markets, specifically focusing on the Siteba Market in Padang City. Motivated by the high density of activities, historical fire incidents in similar markets, and unsafe environmental conditions, the research aimed to identify potential hazards, analyze risk levels, and design actionable control measures for market management. The researchers employed a qualitative observational approach. Data collection involved elicitation and observation confirmed by interviews with purposively selected informants, including market officials, traders, and visitors. Hazard identification was conducted with 45 respondents, while risk analysis utilized the AS/NZS 4360 standard matrix, calculating risk levels based on severity and probability. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, categorizing findings by activity type and location. The study identified ten potential hazards resulting in seven high-risk and three medium-risk categories. High risks included accidents due to heavy traffic, pickpocketing in narrow lanes, visitor fatigue from poor zoning, slipping on wet floors, falling in inadequate toilets, crowding during emergencies, and fire hazards. Medium risks comprised traffic jams, indigestion from unhygienic food handling, and scattered merchandise caused by wild animals. Specific findings highlighted that slippery floors in meat stalls and dark, insufficient toilets posed significant physical injury risks, while uncovered food and lack of zoning contributed to health and security threats. The significance of this research lies in its provision of specific, hierarchical control recommendations for market managers and local government institutions. Proposed interventions include technical measures like installing evacuation signs, providing fire extinguishers, and replacing floor surfaces; administrative actions such as traffic management assistance, trader zoning, and vendor reprimands; and elimination strategies like vector control and wild animal eradication. The authors conclude that activating Occupational Health Business Posts through local health centers is essential for implementing sustainable preventive and promotive measures, thereby ensuring business continuity and improving the safety of traditional market environments.
