Minimizing Work Risks in Indonesia: A Case Study Analysis of Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control Implementation

Abstract

Workplace safety must be a primary priority in order to prevent work-related accidents that might result in disability or death. Promoting workplace safety is a crucial component of labor protection since it can lead to improved employee relations and management. Construction and industrial industries, which rely on heavy machinery or outside labor, are especially vulnerable to safety and health concerns that can lead to accidents. This case study and literature review investigates the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) theory as a systematic method for promoting workplace safety. HIRARC seeks to identify potential hazards within an organization and control associated risks in order to prevent accidents. The study reveals numerous factors that contribute to occupational accidents and the potential harm they can inflict. The study specifically addresses worker attitudes toward the usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) and high-temperature production environments as accident risk factors. The study recommends that organizations prioritize instilling work discipline in their employees, with an emphasis on the correct use of PPE to prevent accidents and promote workplace safety.
