Basically, the term semiotics comes from the Greek word Semeion which means sign. The sign itself can be interpreted as something on the basis of a previously created social agreement that can be considered to represent something else. Previously, a sign could be interpreted as something that referred to the existence of another thing. Semiotic analysis here is an attempt to do something with the aim of feeling the presence or existence of something strange and foreign, something that we need to question more deeply when we observe the surrounding environment, read a text or certain narrative/discourse, observe the signs around us. We. Semiotics is also a scientific study which basically aims to understand and understand the existence of signs in human life. This can be interpreted as meaning that we must give everything that is in human life a meaning because we can see things related to human life as signs that have a meaning that has its own philosophical nature.

Indonesia's natural and cultural riches have attracted the attention of foreign researchers to conduct research in Indonesia. Indonesia is considered to be one of the largest biological laboratories in the world, so there are many objects that can be used for research by foreign researchers. To provide research licensing services for foreign researchers who wish to conduct research in Indonesia, a legal basis was issued, namely Law No. 11 of 2019 concerning the National System of Science and Technology which regulates research licensing for foreign researchers in Indonesia.

The coffee concentrate production process is still classified as not having good K3 due to the lack of appropriate personal protective equipment and good organization. This research is a qualitative research. Primary data itself consists of production data, including production flow. Through research related to Occupational Safety and Health carried out in the Aroma Kahuripan production process, it was found that there were several risks of work accidents that could occur. The potential for work accidents in the coffee powder cooking process has a priority risk level of 1, which indicates that it requires immediate treatment. Handling potential work accidents requires an appropriate K3 system. Suggestions for reducing the potential for accidents include personal protective equipment, designing workstations and additional equipment, as well as regular checks. With this proposal, companies can reduce the potential for work accidents.
