Peningkatan Pemahaman Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja bagi Petani dan Pengusaha Kelapa di Kabupaten Lombok Utara Enhancing Occupational Safety and Health Awareness among Coconut Farmers and Entrepreneurs in North Lombok Regency

Abstract

This community service activity was conducted on 10 June 2025 at the Coconut Processing Center, North Lombok Regency, with a focus on improving understanding of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) among coconut farmers and entrepreneurs, particularly those involved in Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) production. The program was designed as a series of material presentations followed by interactive discussions. The results of the activity indicated that 85% of participants reported an increased understanding of workplace risks, while 80% expressed readiness to implement OSH practices in their daily activities. This initiative is expected to serve as an initial step toward reducing workplace accidents and improving the quality of life for farmers and entrepreneurs around the Coconut Processing Center. With improved OSH awareness, participants are expected to identify potential hazards and take appropriate preventive measures to create a safer and healthier working environment.
