Abstract Heat pressure is one of the causes of dehydration that causes weakness, fatigue, lack of focus, nausea, dizziness, increased heart rate and even stroke to death. High heat pressure will cause the body to lose much fluid and electrolytes. Its ISBB metal processing section exceeds NAB (29.1°C) whereas according to Permenkes Number 70 the Year 2016 NAB climate of the industrial working environment at heavy work with 75% working hours arrangement is 27, 5°C. The purpose of this study to determine the effect of drinking water as an effort to prevent dehydration of metal parts workers. The type of research is pre-experiment with one group pretest-posttest design. The research population is all workers of metal processing PT. Multi Instrumentation Bandung amounted to 33 workers. Sampling technique with total sampling. The analysis used in univariate analysis and Bivariate Analysis in this study using a non-parametric statistical test of Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test. Initial test results showed most of the workers suffered mild dehydration (66.7%). After drinking water intervention, almost all workers are not dehydrated (90.9%). It can be said that there was a significant dehydration status change to the workers after drinking water with P-Value 0, 000. Top Keywords Heat Stress, Dehydration, Drinking Water. Top |
