This research aims to explore the relationship among the working environment, PPE application, and the occurrence of ARTI on traffic police officers. This study used a cross-sectional design involving 71 participants. Data were collected by questionnaire as a research instrument. The chi-squared analysis shows that there was a relationship between the working environment and the occurrence of ARTI (p=0.024), and there is a significant relationship between using PPE and the occurrence of ARTI (p=0.001). This research is expected to be the base of health promotion programs in workers so nurses can coordinate with the related institution having a health education program related to their health problems that may occur due to their working environment and behavior.
