Abstract

Background: Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital Semarang, which is one of the providers in the health sector, has complex and continuous activities which in turn have the potential to cause various impacts and risks, such as work accidents, nosocomial infections, and occupa­tional diseases. Therefore, more detailed obser­vations are needed on the enforcement of occupational health and safety regulations to minimize these impacts.

Results: This study was conducted using a qualitative approach with data collection techniques by direct observation, question­naires and focus group discussions.
