Abstract: Healthy behavior in the workplace is an attempt to empower workers to know, be willing and able to practice healthy behavior. Environmental Landfill has a condition that is incompatible with the workplace that meets the highest standards of comfort for workers. This study uses a descriptive study with qualitative approach descriptive research methods. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with the research subjects who were working on the final disposal. Data were processed through the collection, reduction, and presentation of data collected and grouped into several sections according to the type of problem. Results showed that workers waste management has not been based on a lot of health information; attitudes of extension workers were considered essential to improve the understanding of the workings of the correct and healthy Department of Sanitation, Parks and Fire Sintang. Practice is not to shower before work, but with wet hair, always brush your teeth, sometimes using boiled water betel, and change clothes. In conclusion, most workers do not have enough knowledge, generally accept any policy or activity carried out by the Department of Sanitation, Parks and Fire. Most are already practicing healthy behavior and have been maintaining health.
