摘要:The work environment is one of the conditions that affect the productivity of labor. Work conditions of heat causes thermal stress on the workforce so the impact on the decline in productivity and cause health problems and accidents. Hot environmental conditions make the human body to sweat a lot, so the body loses sodium. Last survey at home Industry ladies accessories showed the temperature in the room reach 30,20C, the workers sweat a lot, do not even wear while working, they complained so quickly exhausted. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of coconut water as enhancing the productivity of exposed to heat labor. Experimental study with One group pre test and post test design take the population of labor with sample size of 9. The independent variable are mineral water and coconut water, the dependent variable is labor productivity, namely the womb sodium (Na +) in the blood of workers. Most of the worker are young age (<40 years) and has normal nutritional status, most of the pulse has decreased, there is an increase the sodium content in the blood before and after consuming mineral water and coconut water, there is no difference the sodium content in the blood of workers before and after consuming mineral water (p=0.813), there is no difference in workers pulse before and after consuming mineral water (p=0.526) and coconut water (p=0.363), there is a difference the sodium content in the blood of workers before and after consuming coconut water (p value = 0.030), coconut water is able to improve the productivity of the workforce compared to mineral water. Coconut water was suitable to be consumed by workers exposed to heat as a replacement ion electrolytes in the body. To avoid radiation workers should wear clothing on the job.
