Summary:The disintegration work station of UKM that operates in the field of processing coconut fiber into coco fiber press, coco peat, orchid growing media, and noisy and dusty foot mats. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of noise and dust concentration at the disintegration work station of coconut coir SMEs and provide recommendations for improvement. Research on noise levels was carried out using environmental meters four in one. Research on dust concentration was carried out using a highvolume air sampler. The research method used in the measurement of dust concentration using the gravimetric method. The noise level at the disintegration work station is 109.6 dB at measurement point 1; 107.1 dB at measurement point 2; and 108.5 dB at measurement point 3 has exceeded the noise limit set by the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia Number PER.13/MEN/X/2011 for 8 working hours, which is 85 dB. Noise mapping using surfer 15 software shows that the noise level of the disintegration work station exceeds the threshold value of 3 measurement points. The actual noise exposure time of the worker exceeds the standard exposure time. The actual daily noise dose value exceeds the standard daily noise dose. The level of dust concentration at the disintegration work station is included in the hazardous category based on the Decree of the Head of the Environmental Impact Management Agency No. 107 of 1997.
