The problem of waste at the Tamangapa Raya Landfill is still a problem in Makassar city. Waste disposal access at the landfill has exceeded capacity because the production of waste generated by the community continues to grow and results in limited access for transport vehicles and becomes an obstacle when entering the landfill so that there is a buildup of garbage trucks along the entrance to the landfill. Scavengers are one of the workers at the landfill who help reduce waste by taking unused items made of plastic, cardboard, and iron that can be sold and recycled again. The purpose of this study to identify the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Occupational Accidents to scavengers at Tamangapa Raya Landfill.
