This condition make the various stakeholders concerned about the impact  both environmental health and public health, if the effluent have not managed properly. This situation had forgotten by the workers who manage the effuent in the system Pusri Effluent Treatment (PET) because the workers assume that the effuent management system in PT. PUSRI already has a good design.

Method : This is quantitative research with cross sectional design. The population for this study was all permanent workers who were involved in effluent management system PET, amounted to 40 peoples. The data were analyzed by using univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square test.

Result : The result of the study shows that statistically, the variables which have significant related to the behavior of effluent management workers are the variable of education (ρvalue = 0.027), knowledge (ρvalue = 0.025), attitude (ρvalue = 0.004), practice (ρvalue = 0.010), regulation (ρvalue = 0.013), and supervision (ρvalue = 0.018), while unrelated to the behavior of effluent management workers are the variable of age (ρvalue = 0.527), tenure (ρvalue = 0.507), availability of means (ρvalue = 0.744), and the availability of infrastructure (ρvalue = 0.490).

Conclusion : The conclusion that the proportion of workers behavior in the effluent management system PET between good and not good is 50%. There was the association between education, knowledge, attitude, practice, regulation, supervision and behavior of effluent management workers.
