Working at heights refers to performing tasks in elevated locations, which pose a risk of injury to workers in the event of a fall. To reduce the number of accidents caused by working at heights, one of the necessary steps is conducting hazard and risk assessments using the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method. JSA is an analytical method used to identify hazards at the workplace and find ways to reduce the risks of accidents. The purpose of this study is to assess the completeness of safety equipment for working at heights, to explain hazard identification, to analyze risks in building structure work, to determine criteria and hazard assessments, and to understand risk control in building structure, plumbing, and electrical work according to the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method in healthcare facility buildings in Semarang. The results of the study show that the risk level, calculated using the Risk Rating Number (RRN), for all potential hazards in structure, plumbing, and electrical work, reveals the following: for structure work, three hazards fall into the extreme category (43.84%), one hazard falls into the high category (16.44%), four hazards fall into the medium category (39.73%), and no hazards fall into the low category (0%); for plumbing work, three hazards fall into the extreme category (38.55%), one hazard falls into the high category (14.46%), five hazards fall into the medium category (46.99%), and no hazards fall into the low category (0%); and for electrical work, three hazards fall into the extreme category (44.74%), three hazards fall into the high category (31.58%), three hazards fall into the medium category (21.05%), and one hazard falls into the low category (2.63%).

This research aims to identify potential hazards and assess the level of fire risk in a textile company located in Sukoharjo Regency using the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) method. The research background is based on the high fire hazard potential in the textile industry due to the use of flammable chemicals, high operating temperatures, and the accumulation of combustible fibers and textile dust. A descriptive research approach was applied through field observations, interviews with workers and the OHS team, and technical document analysis. The results showed that the highest risk levels were found in the dyeing process, electrical panel room, and machine maintenance activities (welding/repair), with risk scores reaching 20 (high category). The main contributing factors included non-standard electrical installations, poor ventilation, and unsafe work behavior. Risk control strategies are recommended through technical, administrative, and behavioral approaches, including smoke detection systems, routine evacuation training, and the reinforcement of safety culture. The implementation of these measures is expected to improve the effectiveness of occupational health and safety management systems and reduce the potential for fire incidents in the textile industry.

A safe and healthy environment is crucial to minimizing accidents and occupational diseases, and this is where Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) comes in. Workers in the informal sector, such as online drivers, are more likely to experience musculoskeletal problems, especially low back pain (LBP), because they frequently lack proper occupational protection and health services. LBP is a complaint of lower back pain that can be brought on by extended periods of static sitting, bad posture, and personal characteristics like body mass index, smoking, and length of service. The purpose of this program is to educate online drivers in Malang City, East Java, and help them avoid LBP. The risk of LBP can be decreased in part by promoting physical activity and education. One recommended intervention is the William Flexion Exercise (WFE), an exercise aimed at improving posture, increasing muscle strength and flexibility, and reducing lower back pain. Implementing WFE education and training for online car drivers is anticipated to strengthen OHS awareness and reduce the incidence of LBP among informal sector workers.

This research aims to analyze the risk factors of occupational accidents and identify effective prevention efforts within the context of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), specifically at Inkside Sablon. This qualitative study, employing a case study approach, utilized in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentary analysis for data collection. The findings indicate that occupational accident risk factors at Inkside Sablon are influenced by several aspects, including human factors such as lack of safety awareness and fatigue, environmental factors like inadequate ventilation and suboptimal lighting, and equipment factors such as non-ergonomic tools and insufficient maintenance. The prevention efforts implemented by Inkside Sablon are still partial and not well-structured, thus requiring the integration of more comprehensive safety programs, such as enhanced safety and health (OSH) training, provision of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and improvements in management and supervision systems. It is expected that the implementation of these measures will increase worker awareness and reduce the number of occupational accidents, thereby creating a safer and more productive work environment

This study aims to determine the influence of compensation, occupational safety and health, and work motivation on employee job statisfaction. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed to employees of CV. Rizky Berdikari Mandiri. The sampling technique used was saturated sampling, with a total of 53 respondents. The analytical tool used is descriptive (primary data) by using a questionnaire which is assisted by a likert scale and given to respondents. The analytical tool used is SPSS software version 29. The results of the study show that partially Compensation and Occupational Safety and Health (K3) have a positive and significant effect on employee job statisfaction, while Work Motivation does not have a significant effect on employee job statisfaction at the CV. Rizky Berdikari Mandiri. However, the study also found that work motivation does not have a significant effect on employee job satisfaction at CV. Rizky Berdikari Mandiri. This finding suggests that while motivation is often seen as a driving factor for employee performance, other factors, such as compensation and workplace safety, may have a more direct and immediate influence on job satisfaction in this particular context. It is possible that the intrinsic and extrinsic motivators currently in place at the company may not be as effective or prominent in comparison to compensation and safety initiatives. The study concludes that while compensation and occupational safety are significant drivers of job satisfaction, work motivation should still be addressed but perhaps with more targeted strategies to ensure that employees are adequately motivated and engaged. Further research could explore how different types of motivation—intrinsic and extrinsic—affect employee satisfaction in various organizational settings.

This research is motivated by the declining level of work productivity of PT Rayung Pelangi Nusantara Purbalingga employees, which is suspected to be caused by the suboptimal implementation of occupational safety and health (K3), low organizational commitment, and less than optimal utilization of work experience. The main focus of this study is to analyze the influence of occupational safety and health (K3), organizational commitment, and work experience on employee work productivity partially. This study applies a quantitative approach through the application of multiple linear regression techniques with the help of SPSS version 25 software. The number of research samples consisted of 57 respondents selected using a purposive sampling method, while the data was obtained through a questionnaire instrument. The data analysis process involved validity tests, reliability tests, descriptive analysis, classical assumption tests, t tests, F tests, and coefficients of determination (R-Square). The research findings show that occupational safety and health (K3) has a positive and significant effect on work productivity, organizational commitment has a positive but not significant effect, and work experience has a negative and not significant effect. The coefficient of determination of 0.308 indicates that 30.8% of the variation in work productivity can be explained by these variables, while the remaining 69.2% is influenced by other factors not identified in this study. In conclusion, the increase in employee work productivity is more influenced by the implementation of good OHS, while organizational commitment and work experience have not shown a significant contribution. Therefore, companies are advised to strengthen the occupational safety and health (OHS) system and evaluate HR development strategies so that organizational commitment and work experience can have a greater impact on productivity.

Each workplace has a different potential risk of work accidents depending on the type of industry, technology used, and risk control efforts undertaken by the company. Work accidents are generally caused by two main factors: unsafe acts by humans and unsafe working conditions. In this context, occupational safety and health (K3) is an important aspect that must be implemented in every company to protect workers from hazards that can cause losses, both physical and work productivity. Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower mandates that every worker has the right to occupational safety protection. This study focuses on UD. Fuad Las Jaya, a company engaged in construction and welding services. This company has a fairly high potential for work accidents considering the type of work performed. Based on employee attendance data in 2025, there is a level of discipline that can be related to working conditions and perceived safety. The severity of accidents is classified into three categories: light, moderate, and severe, which indicates the importance of implementing an effective K3 system. It is hoped that consistent awareness and implementation of K3 will create a safe, healthy, and productive work environment, as well as reduce the number of work accidents in the construction sector.

This study examines the relationship between nurses’ physical and mental workload and the implementation of patient safety at Baitul Hikmah General Hospital Kendal in 2025. Patient safety is a critical component of healthcare quality, and nurses, as the front-line providers, are directly involved in ensuring that safety standards are consistently maintained. However, high job demands often contribute to both physical and mental workload, which may affect compliance with patient safety practices. The research employed an analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach, involving a total of 55 nurses from the emergency and inpatient units, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing physical workload, mental workload, and adherence to patient safety procedures. Descriptive results showed that most respondents were in their productive age group, held a Diploma in Nursing, and had more than five years of clinical experience. The inferential analysis revealed a significant relationship between physical workload and patient safety (p-value = 0.023), whereas no significant relationship was found between mental workload and patient safety (p-value = 0.089). These findings suggest that while physical workload has a measurable impact on the implementation of patient safety, non-physical factors such as emotional maturity, professional responsibility, and coping strategies may play a more crucial role in ensuring safe and effective patient care. The study highlights the need for hospital management to address workload distribution and strengthen supportive measures that enhance nurses’ resilience and adherence to patient safety standards.
