Abstract

The Pest Control service business in Indonesia has 750 companies registered as active members in the Indonesian Pest Control Entrepreneurs Association in 2023, one of which is PT Pestindo Central Optima, a company engaged in pest control services with 128 employees in 2022 consisting of 21 staff and 107 people engaged in the service department or what is usually called operators. One of the disease vector control efforts carried out by PT Pestindo Central Optima is fogging. One of the materials used for fogging comes from the organophosphat group. Organophosphat pesticides, if not used properly, can cause poisoning. In addition, several factors that may support the occurrence of poisoning are the length of spraying, working period, frequency of fogging, officer behaviour, use of personal protective equipment for pest control operators. The method used in this research is analytical survey with cross sectional design. Data analysis used the Spearman correlation test followed by the correlation coefficient test to determine the strength of the relationship between each variable. The variable of working period, spraying frequency and operator behaviour on cholinesterase levels was found to have a significant relationship, but the variable of PPE use and length of work on the cholinesterase level of fogging officers was found to have no significant relationship between the two variables.
