Identifikasi Bahaya dan Risiko Keselamatan pada Kegiatan Kunjungan Lapangan di Area Peledakan dan Pengolahan PT Selo Agung Setiaji

Abstract

Field visits to mining areas involve various potential hazards and safety risks that need to be considered, particularly in blasting and andesite stone processing areas. PT Selo Agung Setiaji is a company engaged in andesite stone mining activities located in Katingan Regency, Central Kalimantan. This article aims to identify potential hazards and safety risks to field visit participants in the blasting and processing areas of PT Selo Agung Setiaji and to identify preventive measures that can be implemented. The method used was descriptive qualitative research through direct observation and literature review. Data were obtained from observations and the author's experience during a field visit conducted on April 25, 2026, involving 64 students from the Mining Engineering Study Program, University of Palangka Raya, accompanied by lecturers, and supported by relevant journal literature. The results of field observations and literature review indicate that potential hazards to participants include flying rock caused by blasting, heavy equipment movement, machinery and material handling in processing areas, dust, noise, unsafe access routes, and unsafe participant behavior. These risks can be controlled through access restrictions and the establishment of safe distances, proper visit route arrangements, the use of personal protective equipment, safety briefings, supervision, and compliance with safety instructions. Preventive measures are grouped into three stages: before, during, and after the field visit, involving preparation, supervision, evaluation, and improvement of safety procedures. This article is expected to provide an overview of potential hazards and risk controls for participants so that field visits in mining environments can be conducted safely while supporting the achievement of educational objectives.
