MENAKAR IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN KESELAMATAN DAN KESEHATAN KERJA DI INDONESIA

The number of work accidents, especially in government projects at the end of 2017 until the beginning of 2018, indicates that the occupational safety and health (OSH) is still a issue that needs to be studied its implementation in Indonesia. BPJS Employment data shows that the number of work accidents in Indonesia over the past 3 years is indeed fluctuative, but still quite high. These facts and data make the issue of OSH important to be reviewed in its implementation. Because the issue of OSH has actually been regulated by the government through Undang-Undang No. 1 of 1970 concerning Occupational Safety. This policy has been implemented for almost half a century. For this reason, the paper tries to review the performance of OSH policy implementation in Indonesia. The method used is desk research. The performance of OSH policy implementation was measured using the policy implementation theory proposed by Ripley and Franklin. Data is collected by literature study methods from report documents, websites, mass media, and official publications issued by authorized institutions. The research also analyzes the factors that cause high work accidents in Indonesia and formulates strategies to solve them. The study concluded that the performance of OSH policy implementation was still low. This can be seen from the low compliance of the target group and the realization of policy objectives. Factors that cause the low performance of policy implementation are due to weak regulation, weak supervision, low level of compliance, weak commitment, and incorrect mindset about K3. For this reason, research recommends improving the K3 Act, increasing the number of labor inspectors, and implementing programs. improve public mindset, especially target groups about K3.

Klasifikasi Rambu Lalu Lintas Menggunakan Ekstraksi Ciri Wavelet Dan Jarak Euclidean

Driving is one of the human activities in which daily life is often done. Driving can be done by land, air, and sea. Human mobility in driving is very high on land routes using various means of transportation. For the sake of smooth driving, roads are often equipped with traffic signs in each traffic area. Traffic signs are a means for road users to provide information and guidance for motorists about the situation in the surrounding area. The number of motorists who lack awareness of the knowledge of reading traffic signs is one of the biggest causes of accidents in Indonesia. So that a system is needed that can help in recognizing traffic signs, especially prohibited signs. The system designed using Haar Wavelet feature extraction and Euclidean distance as a classification. From the data that has been tested, the level of recognition in reading traffic signs is prohibited by 92%.

Indonesia is one of the contributing countries of the highest accidents. Recorded in 2016 has occurred 101,367 cases of work accidents with the death toll reached 2,363 inhabitants. Implementation of OSH in Indonesia is very rarely heard in educational institutions such as schools and universities. Though the university is a place of many human activities. Various activities that occur on campus such as lecture room, park, library, laboratory, parking area, and canteen. The place can trigger the emergence of many dangers and disasters, the risks of occupational injuries and occupational diseases that can cause casualties to lecturers, students, employees, and visiting guests. Based on the background of the problems that have been described, it is necessary to review how the government of Indonesia in improving the program of occupational safety and health, how the general description of the implementation of occupational safety and health programs at UGM, and how knowledge and attitude of occupational safety and health by UGM students. This research use case study method and literature study. Primary data: obtained from direct observation and interview. Secondary Data: online media review literature. The results showed that the government of Indonesia has made efforts to improve OSH programs as the development of OSH program in 2016, although the number of work accidents in Indonesia is still high, the Indonesian government succeeded in reducing the number of accidents by more than half that occurred from 359,724 accidents in 2015 decreased to 101,367 in 2016. In addition, OSH culture in Indonesia is not only focused on industry but also has been done to improve the OSH culture in all parts of the government, universities and related education institutions, professional organizations, associations, company leaders, workers, and other communities, to make concrete efforts on the implementation of OSH in their respective environments. Implementation of Occupational Health at Universitas Gadjah Mada shows that from 17 criteria that have been made 14 criteria have been fulfilled (82,35%) and 3 Criteria not fulfilled (17,64%) this shows that implementation of health work at Universitas Gadjah Mada is good. Based on the results of observations of the implementation of Safety indicates that of the 13 criteria that have been made, 10 criteria have been met (76.92%) and 3 criteria not fulfilled (23.07%). This shows that the application of safety at Universitas Gadjah Mada is good. Although the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health at UGM has been good but still needs improvement from several aspects in order to achieve satisfactory criteria. Knowledge and Attitudes of Occupational Safety and Health by UGM students are still less visible from the lack of understanding related to catching disaster emergency, accident risk control and risk of occupational diseases and non-compliance to the use of PPE, due to the absence of training, socialization and supervision related Occupational safety and health at universities especially for students. In conclusion, with efforts to improve OSH program in Indonesia succeeded in reducing the number of accidents to reach a half, the implementation of OSH at UGM has been running well but need to increase socialization and training for the OSH culture in the students.

Anatomy of Injury Severity and Fatality in Indonesian Traffic Accidents

There has been a steady increase in traffic accidents with major injuries in Indonesia over the last 10 years, especially those with a score higher than 3 on the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS). Frontal, side, and rear collisions, as well as pedestrian impact are modes of accident that contribute to the majority of injuries or fatalities. Based on age classification, the 16-30 age group are the most vulnerable road users in Indonesia. Traffic accidents in Indonesia are dominated by motorcycles, which also contribute the highest portion of fatalities and major injuries (AIS score > 3). Most traffic accidents can be attributed to human, road and environmental, or vehicle factors. Careless driving and unruly behavior of the driver are the main causes of accidents in Indonesia. Statistical data and analyses on traffic accidents in Indonesia can be used to develop a comprehensive strategy and policy to reduce the number of fatalities and severe injuries of road accidents in Indonesia. There is a need to balance the high growth of motor vehicles with adequate infrastructure. Good driver education as well as vehicle safety and crashworthiness regulations are required in order to reduce traffic accident fatalities.

Traffic accidents and their subsequent fatalities bring enormous social and economic consequences. A good understanding of the problem is expected to initiate major action toward the improvement of road and vehicle safety. One important milestone is the collection and analysis of road accident data. The results from this study portray the ‘tangled threads’ problem of traffic in Indonesia. The population number and number of vehicles have increased steadily, as has been accurately predicted by experts. Meanwhile, there is not enough infrastructure growth. Motorcycles are the main contributor to traffic accidents and fatalities due to their popularity as an effective vehicle to jump traffic jams. The ‘tangled threads’ need an extremely creative and comprehensive solution.

Traffic Accident Risk Analysis by Knowledge, the Use of Traffic Lane, and Speed

Traffic accidents are a health problem in both developed and developing countries including Indonesia. Number of traffic accidents each year has increased and traffic accidents in Indonesia is considered by WHO as the third biggest killer after coronary heart disease and tuberculosis. Most traffic accidents involving motorcyclists and the current junior high school students are also involved as a perpetrator of the accident. This study was conducted to determine the relationship of knowledge, the use of traffic lane and the driving speed with the incidence of traffic accidents in junior high school students motorcyclists. Type of research is analytic observational cross-sectional study design. The study population was all junior high school students in Wonokromo Surabaya in 2015. The number of respondents in this study of 100 respondents drawn from the population by using two stage cluster random sampling. The variables studied were knowledge, the use of traffic lane and the driving speed. Results of analysis using chi square test (α = 5%) indicate that knowledge (p = 0,027; RR = 1,966), the use of traffic lane (p = 0,005; RR = 1,894) and the driving speed (p = 0,017; RR = 1,941) has a significantly relationship to the incidence of traffic accidents to junior high school students motorcyclists in Wonokromo sub-district Surabaya 2015. Especially under age children of junior high school student are encouraged to not ride a motorcycle before age sufficient and have a driver’s licence. Beside that, the role of parents to prevent underage motorcyclists is needed to support the efforts of the police and schools in minimizing the number of accident to reduce the number of junir high school student involved in a motorcycle accident.Keywords: traffic accident, risk factors, knowledge, traffic lane, speed
