This study aims to explain the haematological profile, nutritional status and health complaints of Pertamina fuel station operators in Makassar City. This descriptive observational study conducted with 29 subjects as operators in two Pertamina fuel stations. Data of haematology profile was obtained through haematology examined by Prodia Makassar Clinical Laboratory, nutritional status by measurement of BMI (Body Mass Index) and health complaints were taken by questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive tests. The hematological profile of subjects data focused on abnormal result frequency, mean and min-max include Hb Levels (10.3%; 12.30-16.80 g/dl), Hematocrit Levels (6.9%; 35.90-48.80%), Erythrocyte Levels (3.4%; 3.98-5.74 106/μL), MCV Levels (0%; 81.30-92.90 fL), MCH Levels (0%; 27.70-32.80 pg), MCHC levels (3.4%; 33.10-36.40 g/dL), RDW-CV levels (6.9%; 11.30-13.90%), Platelet Levels (10.3%; 145.00-495.00 103/μL), Leukocyte Levels (10.3%; 5.50-13.30 103/μL), Basophile Levels (10.3%; 0.20-1.30%), Eucinophil Levels (65.5%; 0.50-11.50 %), Neutrophil Levels (27.6%; 36.10-67.40%), Lymphocyte Levels (17.2%; 24.80-52.40%), Monocyte Levels (27.6%; 5.30-15.10%), ESR Level (6.9%; 2.00-25.00 mm/hr). Furthermore, nutritional status shown that thin (17.2%), Normal (58.6%) and Fat (24.1%); (17.10-33.60kg/m2) and data of Health Complaint were mild complaints (62.1%) and severe complaints (37.9%). This research found that Eucinophil was the highest haematological profile abnormal (more than half of the subject of study) and all of the subjects had MCV and MCH at a normal level. Only some subjects were thin and fat on nutritional status. Moreover, there were much more subjects had severe complaints. So, it is recommended to identified factors related to cause of abnormal haematology profile and the severe complaints and how to cope it.
