The construction sector is an industry with a high level of work accident risk due to its dynamic and complex work characteristics. This study aims to examine the application of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) System and evaluate its effectiveness in mitigating risks at the Health Facility Building Construction Project (Project X) in Fakfak Regency. The research method used is a descriptive-analytical quantitative approach with purposive sampling of 25 respondents, including executors, supervisors, and field workers. Risk analysis was conducted using the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method by measuring Severity, Occurrence, and Detection parameters to produce a Risk Priority Number (RPN). The results show that RPN values range from 52.35 to 452.30. The highest risk was found in the variable of limited safety signage in hazardous locations (RPN 452.30), which falls into the very high category. Additionally, 10 high-risk variables and 9 medium-risk variables were identified, dominated by technical, operational, and management factors, such as the use of heavy equipment by uncertified operators and weak implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and OHS audits. This study concludes that the application of OHS in Project X is still reactive and requires strengthening risk-based safety management systems as well as improving workforce competence to achieve zero accident conditions.

Pregnancy complications remain a major health problem contributing to high maternal morbidity and mortality rates in Indonesia. Factors influencing the occurrence of pregnancy complications include the level of maternal knowledge and advanced maternal age. Advanced age increases the risk of pregnancy disorders due to decreased reproductive function, while low knowledge limits a mother’s ability to recognize danger signs and take appropriate preventive measures. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge level and advanced maternal age and the occurrence of pregnancy complications in the working area of Bonebobakal Public Health Center, Banggai Regency. This study employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach involving 41 pregnant women selected through total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between maternal knowledge level and maternal age with the occurrence of pregnancy complications. Health education and regular pregnancy monitoring are necessary to reduce the risk of complications and improve maternal and fetal safety..

The fisheries sector is an important economic element but has high safety risks for fishermen due to harsh working conditions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between workload, mental fatigue, and Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) awareness among fishermen. This study uses a cross-sectional design with a quantitative descriptive-analytical approach4. Data were collected through questionnaires from active fishermen selected using a purposive sampling technique, with measurement instruments including NASA-TLX for workload and MFI-20 for mental fatigue. The results of the descriptive analysis show that most respondents are in the high workload (45%) and high mental fatigue (45%) categories, while the level of OHS awareness tends to be low (40%). Spearman's correlation test showed a significant positive relationship between workload and mental fatigue ($r = 0.612; p < 0.05), as well as a significant negative relationship between mental fatigue and OSH awareness ($r = -0.497; p < 0.05). This study concluded that workload indirectly influences OSH awareness through mental fatigue as an intermediary variable.8 These findings emphasize the importance of workload management and psychological interventions to improve fishermen's safety behavior at sea.

Abstract. This study aims to examine the causes, forms, and strategies for combating violence against female Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) from a legal, sociological, and gender perspective. The background of this research is based on the vulnerability of female PMI to various forms of physical, psychological, sexual, and economic violence, which occurs from the pre-placement stage to the post-placement stage, as well as the long-term impact on mental health, human rights, and socio-economic reintegration. The method used is empirical legal with primary data collection through in-depth interviews with female PMI victims of violence and accompanying institutions, as well as secondary data in the form of literature reviews, laws and regulations, and scientific publications. The analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods, integrating human rights theory, Feminist Legal Theory, and international migration policy. The results of the study show that the vulnerability of female migrant workers is caused by economic factors, education, patriarchal culture, non-transparent recruitment processes, the characteristics of work in the informal sector, power imbalances with employers, and weak legal protection in the destination country. The forms of violence experienced include beatings, sexual harassment, threats, social isolation, wage withholding, and structural exploitation practices. Protection efforts implemented include preventive approaches through training, legal education, legal document guarantees, and assistance from law enforcement agencies, as well as repressive approaches through action against perpetrators of violence and bilateral cooperation with destination countries. This study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive and sustainable protection for female Indonesian migrant workers, covering all stages of labor migration as well as strengthening digital-based monitoring systems, officer capacity, and cross-sector collaboration to ensure the safety, dignity, and fulfillment of the human rights of female Indonesian migrant workers.  

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is a fundamental competence required by vocational school students before entering workplace practice, particularly due to their high exposure to practical activities involving tools, machines, and work procedures with potential risks.

The activity was conducted using a seminar and case study approach involving 40 vocational students. The implementation stages included preliminary needs analysis, training delivery through structured material sessions and interactive discussions, and post-training evaluation using participant feedback instruments. The training materials covered formal OSH regulations, basic OSH principles, risk mitigation, personal protective equipment, and the relevance of OSH competencies in industrial work environments. The results indicated that participants demonstrated improved understanding of OSH obligations, awareness of workplace risk prevention, and readiness to apply OSH principles during practical learning activities. This community service activity contributes to strengthening students’ preparedness for workplace practice by fostering early awareness of occupational safety culture within the vocational education context.

This study aims to conduct a pilot evaluation of employee performance in the Raw Material Warehouse Section at PT. IKPP Serang Mill using a checklist-based performance appraisal model. Performance evaluation is a crucial aspect in ensuring the smooth operation of raw material warehouses, which involve a high level of occupational risk and have a direct impact on the continuity of the production process. The checklist method is applied because it integrates quantitative assessment through scoring results with qualitative evaluation in the form of behavioral feedback. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach supported by quantitative data obtained from performance assessments of ten employees holding various positions, including forklift operators, checkers, shift administrators, and shift supervisors. The results indicate that employee performance falls within a diverse spectrum, categorized as “performance” and “need to improve,” influenced by compliance with standard operating procedures (SOPs), work discipline, communication, and awareness of occupational health and safety (OHS). The findings also demonstrate that the checklist-based model is effective in identifying performance gaps and serves as a basis for formulating improvement actions such as coaching, OHS training, promotions, and administrative sanctions. This study concludes that the checklist model functions not only as an administrative evaluation tool but also as a strategic instrument for human resource development and sustainable organizational performance improvement.

PT. XYZ faces administrative challenges in implementing the Contractor Safety Management System (CSMS), which has been managed manually from risk assessment and pre-qualification to contractor selection resulting in validation delays, document duplication, and limited monitoring. This study aims to: (1) identify the constraints of the manual CSMS at PT. XYZ; (2) design an electronic-CSMS (e-CSMS) application tailored to internal user needs; (3) analyze the contribution of e-CSMS to document management effectiveness; and (4) evaluate the design's alignment with the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SMK3) principles as per Government Regulation No. 50 of 2012. The method employed is Research and Development (preliminary stage) using a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and document studies. The design results include: (i) a unified digital form integrating procurement data input, risk assessment entries (severity and probability), and document upload and assessment for pre-qualification/selection in a single workflow; (ii) a monitoring dashboard with filtering and export functions; and (iii) internal access settings within PT. XYZ's HSSE portal. Functionally, this design addresses the main bottlenecks of the manual process by creating a more concise, structured, and documented verification workflow, thereby making document management more efficient and traceable. In terms of compliance, e-CSMS supports the implementation of SMK3 elements in the administrative domain of policy establishment, planning, and execution of OHS plans through consistent recording and verification mechanisms. Development recommendations include expansion to field implementation phases, automation of risk-level calculations, and an option for preliminary data entry by contractors with final verification remaining with the internal team.

One of the most common occupational health risk factors found in industrial areas is noise, and long-term exposure ≥85 dB(A) for more than 8 hours has the potential to cause progressive and permanent Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). The risk of NIHL increases if workers do not use Ear Protection Equipment (APT) optimally and have certain individual factors such as age, working period, and length of exposure. This study aims to determine the relationship between the use of APT and worker factors with hearing loss due to noise in PT HMK II Palembang City in 2025. This study uses an analytical quantitative design with a cross sectional approach. A sample of 55 respondents was selected through purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed by chi-square test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the use of APT (p=0.000) and there was no significant relationship between, the age of workers (p=0.838), working time (p=0.290), and length of work (p=0.172) and noise-induced hearing loss. The use of APT has been shown to be associated with a reduced risk of noise-induced hearing loss, although age, length of employment, and length of work did not show a significant relationship.

The development of digital banks and the operational losses still experienced by PT Bank Aladin Syariah Tbk necessitate a financial health analysis to assess the potential for financial distress. This study aims to assess the potential bankruptcy level of Bank Aladin for the period 2021–2024 using the Modified Altman Z-Score model. The research method is descriptive quantitative with secondary data from annual financial reports and OJK publications, which are analyzed through four main ratios, namely working capital, retained earnings, earnings before taxes, and equity value to total debt. The results show that the Z-Score values are well above the safety threshold, with the highest value of 17.764 in 2021 and the lowest of 9.422 in 2022, mainly driven by high liquidity and equity strength. Thus, it can be concluded that PT Bank Aladin Syariah Tbk is in the Safe Zone category and does not show any potential for bankruptcy during the research period, although an increase in profitability is still needed.

This study aims to test the effectiveness of the implementation of a simplified Mini-QHSE (Quality, Health, Safety, Environment) system in improving working conditions at the Syams Handicraft woven craft MSME in Pati Regency, Central Java. The study used a quantitative method with a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 47 workers as respondents. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires and observations before and after the twelve-week intervention. The results showed that the implementation of the Mini-QHSE system was able to significantly reduce the level of occupational safety and health risks and significantly improve worker welfare. Further analysis revealed that the Mini-QHSE system made a significant contribution to variations in OHS risks and worker welfare. The dimension of safe work procedures proved to be the most influential factor in reducing work risks, while the training aspect was the main factor in improving worker welfare. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Mini-QHSE system designed according to the capacity and characteristics of MSMEs is effective in creating a safer and more prosperous work environment. This model has the potential to be applied to similar MSMEs with contextual adjustments as a practical solution in managing quality, safety, and occupational health in the micro-business sector.

The work behavior of health workers is a key factor in determining the quality of service and patient safety in hospitals. In healthcare organizations with high work demands, feedback and rewards are important instruments of human resource management to form positive work behaviors. However, empirical evidence on the role of rewards as a mediating variable in the relationship between feedback and work behavior of health workers, particularly in Indonesian regional hospitals, is limited. This study aims to analyze the influence of feedback on work behavior through the role of reward mediation in health workers at Konawe Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data was collected through a survey using a structured questionnaire based on the Likert scale of 170 health workers with ASN status at Konawe Hospital. The sampling technique used a combination of purposive and accidental sampling. Data analysis was carried out with Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS software version 4.0. The results showed that rewards had a positive and significant effect on work behavior (β = 0.579; t = 10.308; p = 0.000), and feedback had a positive and significant effect on rewards (β = 0.805; t = 25.851; p = 0.000). In addition, feedback also had a positive and significant effect on work behavior through rewards (β = 0.466; t = 8.362; p = 0.000), which confirms the mediating role of rewards. There is an influence of appraisal on work behavior and feedback on awards and awards has been shown to significantly mediate the influence of feedback on the work behavior of health workers. These findings emphasize the importance of effective feedback management and an integrated reward system as a managerial strategy to encourage positive work behavior and improve the quality of health services in regional hospitals.

This research investigates integrated maritime workforce resilience and mental health management frameworks addressing post-pandemic seafarer wellbeing challenges and organizational safety culture transformation. Through qualitative analysis involving 39 stakeholders including seafarers, ship operators, mental health professionals, maritime unions, training institutions, and maritime authorities, this study examines how COVID-19 pandemic intensified mental health crises through extended contracts, shore leave restrictions, and isolation while exposing systemic inadequacies in psychological support systems. Results demonstrate that comprehensive mental health frameworks can reduce psychological distress by 55-70%, improve safety performance by 40-55%, enhance crew retention by 45-60%, and decrease incident rates by 35-50% when integrating organizational culture change, leadership competency development, predictive analytics, and culturally-adapted interventions. Key challenges include mental health stigma (affecting 65-80% of seafarers), limited organizational investment (only 18-25% adequate), service accessibility gaps, and workforce demographic diversity requiring culturally-sensitive approaches. Findings reveal that effective mental health management requires systemic organizational transformation integrating psychological wellbeing into safety management systems, work design optimization, family support programs, and career sustainability rather than treating mental health as peripheral welfare concern, supporting maritime industry's workforce retention and operational safety imperatives.

The manual submission of employee complaints often leads to slow handling, disorganized documentation, and limited transparency regarding complaint progress. These issues hinder internal communication and reduce the effectiveness of administrative processes. This study aims to design and implement a Web-Based Employee Complaint Submission System using PHP and the Bootstrap framework to improve efficiency and accuracy in managing complaints. The system supports three main categories of complaints: payroll, occupational safety and health, and work facilities. It also enables employees to track complaint status through request, approved, and rejected indicators. Administrators can manage user accounts and generate official follow-up letters. Implementation results show that the system improves data recording, enhances documentation order, and increases transparency in complaint handling. Overall, the system facilitates more structured, efficient, and traceable communication between employees and management, supporting better corporate governance.

The management of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) at PT Phapros Tbk still faces obstacles in the form of difficult document access, numerous files scattered across several folders, and MSDS presented in English that is difficult for workers to understand. This condition has the potential to hinder understanding of chemical safety information in the work environment. This activity aims to develop a digital innovation in the form of the QR-Safe system to facilitate access and improve workers' understanding of basic MSDS information. The implementation methods include identifying problems through observation and interviews, developing a simplified MSDS summary template consisting of five main sections, creating QR codes for each chemical, and socializing the use of this innovation to employees. The results of the activity show that QR-Safe and the MSDS summary are able to speed up document searches, present safety information more concisely, and make it easier for workers to understand hazard identification, handling procedures, and the use of personal protective equipment. This innovation also contributes to improving the effectiveness of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) in companies. The digitization of MSDS through the QR-Safe digital innovation is highly effective in improving workers' accessibility to and understanding of chemical safety information.

Overall, this approach helps PT Garuda Systrain Interindo in using TikTok strategies, improving the company's image, and strengthening the effectiveness of digital communications related to K3.

Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) is a fundamental aspect in maintaining the smooth production process while maintaining the welfare of workers in the food manufacturing industry. This study aims to analyze in depth the implementation of the OHS program at PT XY, a medium-scale food manufacturing company, by reviewing the applicable policies, program implementation, obstacles encountered, and potential strategies for improvement. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach through direct observation in the production area, semi-structured interviews with 12 informants consisting of managers, supervisors, and operators, and a review of various internal company documents related to OHS. The research findings revealed that the company has a formally formulated OHS policy supported by regular training, but its implementation is not evenly distributed across all work units. Key weaknesses include inconsistent internal audit implementation, low worker awareness in reporting incidents, and a limited number of human resources with specific OHS competencies. Based on these findings, the study recommends strengthening the risk-based OHS management system, increasing human resource capacity, and integrating OHS indicators into the production performance evaluation system to support more optimal OHS implementation in the company.

Hospitals are healthcare institutions with a high risk of disease transmission and cross-contamination, both for patients and healthcare workers. One of the key measures to prevent nosocomial infections is the proper and consistent use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by nutrition installation staff. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing PPE compliance in the Nutrition Installation of Hospital X. This research employed a descriptive quantitative design involving 7 nutrition staff members consisting of 5 food servers (71.43%) and 2 cooks (28.57%). Based on educational background, most respondents had senior high school education (85.71%), while 1 respondent (14.29%) had an elementary-level education. Regarding work experience, 6 respondents (85.71%) had worked for more than 5 years, and 1 respondent (14.29%) had less than 5 years of experience. The results showed that most respondents had good knowledge of PPE compliance (72.8%), while 27.1% demonstrated moderate knowledge. In terms of attitude, 68.8% showed good attitudes, and 32.2% showed moderate attitudes. These findings indicate that the nutrition installation staff at Hospital X have a good understanding of the importance of PPE in ensuring safety and hygiene. However, regular training, continuous supervision, and ergonomic improvement of PPE are still needed to maintain and improve consistent compliance.

This research analyzes the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (K3/OSH) in the automation project of the Vacuum Pan machine at a sugar factory in Indonesia. The Vacuum Pan machine automation project poses high potential hazards due to its involvement with electrical systems, high-pressure pipes, and the installation of electrical and automatic control systems. The research methods used were daily direct observation in the field and interviews with the factory's safety (EHS) personnel, project workers, and interns for one month, from July 7 to August 8, 2025. The results show that K3 planning, such as the availability of HIRADC documents, SOPs, Safety Plans, and K3 facilities (APAR, evacuation routes, safety signs), has been well-implemented and adheres to applicable standards. K3 supervision activities include Safety Inspection (routine twice a week), Safety Patrol (daily and spontaneous), and Safety Talk or Toolbox Meeting (routine every Wednesday). However, the aspect requiring improvement is worker discipline, particularly in the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), which were recorded at compliance frequencies of 65% and 60%, respectively. Workers' response to hazardous situations was also found to be less responsive (50%). In conclusion, while K3 planning and facilities are adequate, the overall K3 implementation needs to be optimized through increased supervision and the establishment of a disciplined culture regarding PPE and SOPs.

Work activities in workshops often require static and repetitive body positions, such as bending over, lifting heavy loads, or reaching into narrow areas of vehicles. These habits can gradually cause muscle tension and lead to neck and lower back pain. Given the high risk, physiotherapy counseling on occupational safety and health (OSH) and ergonomics was conducted to provide practical understanding to B-Garage, Batu City workshop workers. The counseling was delivered interactively through material presentations, direct discussions, and demonstrations of stretching exercises that can be easily applied in daily activities. The results of the activity showed a very significant increase in knowledge; participants who initially did not understand the principles of ergonomics and musculoskeletal pain prevention were able to identify work risks and practice stretching exercises correctly after the education session. This change was clearly evident from the post-test results, which showed a significant overall improvement compared to the pre-test. These findings indicate that physical therapy education not only enhances knowledge but also promotes behavioral changes toward safer, more comfortable, and more productive work patterns.
