In an effort to create a safe and productive work environment, the Behavior Based Safety (BBS) approach has become one of the main strategies in occupational safety management, especially in high-risk industries such as logistics. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the Behavior Based Safety (BBS) method in shaping the safe behavior of workers at PT XYZ, a logistics company in Balikpapan. The BBS method is an occupational safety approach that focuses on individual behavior in preventing work accidents. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through direct observation and interviews with management and workers. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of BBS at PT XYZ has not been running optimally. Some of the main obstacles found include the lack of standard operating procedures (SOPs), lack of occupational safety training, weak communication between management and workers, and minimal involvement of workers in a safety culture. Although there is a commitment from management, improvements are still needed in the aspects of socializing safety policies, providing written documents, and ongoing training to build a safe and sustainable work culture.

This study evaluates the implementation of Behavior Based Safety (BBS) in improving occupational safety compliance at PT Wichindo Pratama, a heavy equipment manufacturing company with high work risks. The topic was chosen due to frequent violations of safety procedures, such as the improper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and neglect of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), which increase the risk of accidents. A qualitative method was used through direct observation, in-depth interviews with 12 shift workers, and field assessments of safety facilities. The findings show that although the company has an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management system, non-compliance still occurs. Issues include incomplete PPE usage, disorganized work tools, and unsafe rest habits. Observations revealed potential hazards such as physical (noise), chemical (oil exposure), ergonomic (awkward postures), mechanical (machine use without full PPE), biological, and psychological risks (stress from shift work). BBS is seen as a strategy to connect existing OHS policies with safe work behavior by focusing on mindset and daily habits. The implementation of BBS is expected to reduce accidents and support the creation of a safer, more sustainable workplace.

Small-scale industries such as tofu and tempeh factories play a significant role in the local economy but often face serious issues such as workplace accidents. This study aims to describe the working conditions and their relation to unsafe acts by workers at the XYZ tofu and tempeh factory. A descriptive qualitative approach was used through direct observation and interviews with four workers. The findings show that a hot and noisy work environment, poor ventilation, and disorganized workspace affect workers’ behavior in carrying out tasks without using proper personal protective equipment (PPE). Unsafe work practices have become a common habit due to factors such as routine behavior, limited facilities, and demands for work efficiency. The study concludes that an unsupportive work environment is directly associated with the increase in unsafe behavior. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the working environment, including ventilation, workspace layout, and adequate provision of PPE, as well as to increase workers’ awareness of occupational health and safety through regular training and outreach. These measures are essential to foster a safe and healthy work culture in small-scale industrial settings.
