UKOM Sp.Ok study plan

UKOM Sp.Ok · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Occupational respiratory, dermatological, and musculoskeletal disorders & Occupational toxicology, hazard identification, and exposure assessment

  • Map the scope of domains 5 and 2 against the exam blueprint and rank sub-topics by their weight and by your own baseline weakness

  • Explain the exposure–dose–response chain from inhalation, dermal, and ingestion routes to target-organ effects, using at least three agent classes (solvents, metals, isocyanates)

  • Differentiate obstructive, restrictive, and mixed ventilatory patterns and match each to the occupational exposures that typically cause it

  • Describe the diagnostic criteria and exposure history features that separate occupational asthma, pneumoconiosis, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis

  • Build a one-page decision aid for when a skin lesion should be treated as occupational contact dermatitis versus another dermatosis

Your checkpoint

A 3-page annotated domain map for domains 2 and 5, including a completed 40-question self-test with each wrong answer rewritten as a corrected fact

Week 2

Occupational respiratory, dermatological, and musculoskeletal disorders & Fitness-for-work assessment, medical surveillance, and return-to-work

  • Classify work-related musculoskeletal disorders by region (neck/shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, low back) and name the ergonomic risk factors for each

  • Apply a structured fitness-for-work reasoning sequence to a candidate with chronic low back pain and a lifting-heavy job

  • Distinguish medical surveillance from pre-placement assessment and from periodic health screening, and state the legal trigger for each in the Indonesian context

  • Draft restriction recommendations that are specific, time-bound, and defensible to both employer and worker

  • Interpret spirometry and audiometry results against surveillance thresholds and decide the next action

Your checkpoint

Two written case assessments (one MSD, one respiratory) each ending in a fitness conclusion with documented restrictions and review date

Week 3

Occupational health law, regulation, and professional ethics in Indonesia & Industrial hygiene, personal protective equipment, and workplace control measures

  • Outline the Indonesian occupational safety and health legal framework, including the core manpower and OSH statutes, ministerial regulations on health examinations, and the role of the labour inspectorate

  • Explain the duties of the company occupational physician, the occupational safety committee, and the reporting obligations for occupational accidents and diseases

  • Apply the hierarchy of controls to two real workplace scenarios and justify why PPE is the last line rather than the first

  • Select and justify respiratory and hearing protection using assigned protection factors and workplace exposure limits

  • Identify the ethical duties of confidentiality, informed consent, and dual obligation when the physician serves both employer and worker

Your checkpoint

A one-page hierarchy-of-controls recommendation for a noisy, solvent-exposed workshop, with the legal basis for each element cited by regulation type

Week 4

Occupational physiology, ergonomics, and shift work & Industrial hygiene, personal protective equipment, and workplace control measures

  • Explain thermoregulation, heat acclimatisation, and the physiology behind heat strain and the wet-bulb globe temperature approach to heat stress assessment

  • Apply anthropometric and biomechanical principles to evaluate a workstation and propose redesign options

  • Analyse a rotating shift schedule for circadian disruption and propose a concrete roster change that reduces risk

  • Calculate a permissible exposure time or adjusted exposure limit for an extended or unusual shift

  • Relate noise exposure to hearing loss pathophysiology and to the correct use of hearing conservation programmes

Your checkpoint

A shift-roster critique plus a heat stress control plan for one hot-process work area, each with at least three quantified or testable recommendations

Week 5

Occupational toxicology, hazard identification, and exposure assessment & Work-related infectious disease and biological hazards

  • Plan a workplace exposure assessment: define similar exposure groups, choose sampling strategy and duration, and interpret results against occupational exposure limits

  • Distinguish biological monitoring from ambient monitoring and state when each is appropriate for lead, solvents, and pesticides

  • Describe transmission routes and control measures for the main work-related biological hazards, including bloodborne viruses, tuberculosis, and zoonoses in agricultural and laboratory settings

  • Explain how vaccination, post-exposure prophylaxis, and sharps injury protocols are organised as an occupational health service

  • Interpret a biological exposure index result and translate it into a workplace recommendation

Your checkpoint

A complete exposure assessment plan for one department, covering exposure groups, sampling method, limits used, and the biological monitoring add-on

Week 6

Occupational cancer, neurological, and reproductive hazards & Occupational health emergency response, first aid, and disaster preparedness at work

  • Identify established occupational carcinogens and the exposure settings in which they occur, and explain the latency and dose-response features that shape surveillance

  • Differentiate acute intoxication, chronic neurotoxicity, and peripheral neuropathy from occupational chemical exposure, with named agents for each

  • Assess reproductive and developmental hazards for both female and male workers and outline a protection strategy that avoids discriminatory exclusion

  • Design a workplace first aid and emergency response structure, including responder roles, equipment, and drill frequency

  • Build a workplace disaster preparedness outline covering hazard-specific scenarios, evacuation, casualty triage, and business continuity for health services

Your checkpoint

A hazard register extract for carcinogens, neurotoxins, and reproductive hazards in one workplace, paired with a one-page emergency response and drill schedule

Week 7

Fitness-for-work assessment, medical surveillance, and return-to-work & Occupational health services management, health promotion, and epidemiology in the workplace

  • Design a medical surveillance programme for a defined hazard cohort, specifying tests, intervals, referral criteria, and record retention

  • Construct a return-to-work plan with staged duties, measurable milestones, and communication steps between physician, worker, and supervisor

  • Compute and interpret basic occupational epidemiology measures, including incidence rate, prevalence, standardised mortality ratio, and attributable risk

  • Explain how surveillance data are aggregated into a company health profile and used to prioritise interventions

  • Draft a health promotion intervention for a priority risk identified from the company health profile, with a measurable outcome

Your checkpoint

A full surveillance and return-to-work protocol for one hazard cohort, plus a worked epidemiological calculation set with interpretations

Week 8

Occupational health law, regulation, and professional ethics in Indonesia & Fitness-for-work assessment, medical surveillance, and return-to-work & Occupational health services management, health promotion, and epidemiology in the workplace

  • Consolidate legal, ethical, and service-management content into a single cross-domain decision framework

  • Rehearse case-based reasoning under time pressure across all ten domains, prioritising the highest-weight ones

  • Audit your earlier deliverables for gaps and correct any factual errors you can now identify

  • State your personal exam-day strategy for question triage and for handling uncertain items

  • Verify that every domain has at least one reviewed summary you can revise in the final week

Your checkpoint

A timed full-length mock exam with a written error log, plus a one-page final revision sheet covering all ten domains

Milestones

Week 2: Can explain the exposure–disease pathway and produce a defensible fitness-for-work conclusion for both a respiratory and a musculoskeletal case without notes

Week 4: Scores at least 65% on a mixed set drawn from domains 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8, with legal and control-measure errors specifically reviewed

Week 6: Can name the main occupational carcinogens, neurotoxins, and reproductive hazards with their exposure settings, and outline an emergency response structure from memory

Week 8: Scores at least 75% on a full-length mock exam across all ten domains, with no domain below 60% and a written plan for the weakest two
