Iron craftsmen, PPE, Disability LimitationAbstract
Amidst the onslaught of modernisation, traditional handicrafts continue to hold a unique appeal. One such craft is blacksmithing. Blacksmiths, despite their high level of skill in producing handicrafts, often face significant health and safety risks due to exposure to heat, the use of heavy equipment, and direct contact with hazardous materials. Observations at the partner site revealed workplace accidents, including burns (35.8%), contact with hot iron (58.7%), and being struck by iron materials (35%), which were attributed to the nature of their work. Based on these issues, community service activities were conducted in the form of education on the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to limit disabilities among iron craftsmen. The results of the education on the benefits of PPE showed an increase in knowledge, attitude, and behavior, with pre-test results of 65%, 77%, and 85%, respectively, and posttest results of 83%, 89%, and 91%, respectively. The results of the education on the benefits of fire extinguishers showed an increase in knowledge, attitude, and behaviour, with pre-test results of 75%, 80%, and 85%, respectively, and post-test results of 88%, 83%, and 90%, respectively. It can be concluded that the effectiveness of this community service program was successful
